## Overview

The Ortofon SME stencil overhang template is a lightweight, dual-scale plastic tool designed to help vinyl enthusiasts achieve perfect cartridge alignment quickly and accurately. By ensuring optimal tracking angles, it enhances sound quality and protects your investment in premium turntable equipment.

## Description

The perfect adjustment of head shell systems often proves to be a tricky affair. With this CAP stencil you can find the optimal angle in no time at all. The result: better tracking and optimal sound.

Review: GOOD alignment - This protractor is good and better than the Rega type which only has one setting for alignment, this has two to align up for more accuracy. It way bring your cartridge slightly mor forward in the headshell.
Review: Set your cartridge alignment correctly. - Works very well, and despite what other people may say, it is much better than a piece of paper printed off the internet. There are two scales printed onto this piece of light weight plastic, with a hole at one end to place over the turntable spindle. By positioning your cartridge stylus onto each scale, the protractor indicates how to adjust the cartridge within the headshell. I had already set mine with the card protractor that came with my tonearm, but this Ortofon tool found that the cartridge was slightly twisted and needed re-adjusting. Okay, it is not cheap for what it is, but shop around on desertcart to find it as little as £5. Seems to be false economy to me to spend £100's or more on a turntable/tonearm/cartridge combination and then set it up with a piece of printed A4 paper? But then some people are still listening to CD's or even worse, ain't they?

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Essential tool
*by W***W on 1 February 2021*

No real instructions but after a quick youtube tutorial it's very easy to use, though not great value for money (especially as I'd already aligned it by eye and got it bang on!) It is an essential for fitting a new stylus though to make sure you have it right.
