The Ortofon Stylus Pressure Gauge is a specialized tool designed for measuring the tracking force of a turntable's stylus. This gauge provides precise measurements to ensure optimal playback performance and reduce the risk of vinyl damage. It operates on a simple pivot mechanism where the stylus is gently placed onto a guide track marked with various weight measurements, allowing users to adjust the tonearm's counter-weight until the gauge is balanced. The instrument measures tracking force accurately within a range of 1.25 g to 4 g, which is crucial for maintaining sound quality and prolonging both stylus and record lifespan. Its analog design means there is no need for batteries or calibration, making it user-friendly and reliable across different scenarios. Made from durable materials, the Ortofon Stylus Pressure Gauge is favored for its effectiveness and precision in monitoring stylus pressure, which is essential for audiophiles and vinyl collectors alike.
