AnalogMagik Version 2 is a Windows-based turntable cartridge calibration software designed by Richard H. Mak and a team of engineers. It is a natural continuation of Version 1 which seeks to improve turntable cartridge setup accuracy. It offers a scientific and repeatable method of calibrating every cartridge setup parameter, including:
- Turntable Speed
- Channel Balance
- Azimuth / Vertical Tracking Angle / Stylus Raking Angle using 1 test track
- Adjusting alignment to account for Zenith Angle imperfecitons
- Anti-Skating
- Optimizing Phono Stage Loading
- Optimizing Phono Stage Gain Setting
- Vertical Tracking Force
- Measuring Vibrations
- Determining Resonance Frequencies
- AES Wow & Flutter
After you have performed a basic alignment on your turntable's cartridge using an appropriate alignment tractor, our software and Test LPs will attempt to optimize and fine-tune all the above setup parameters to achieve a more accurate analog cartridge setup.
Simply follow the onscreen instructions, and the program will guide you through all the test functions. It will also tell you what "optimal" numbers to look for, and what cartridge adjustments you need to make to get there.
AnalogMagik V2 comes with the software program, a USB license key, and 2 Test LPs (33 1/3 & 45 rpm). Please note that the Acoustical System SMARTractor is a separate tool which we recommend, but it is not part of the AnalogMagik product package.
AnalogMagik is designed to work with a Windows based Laptop, and and the ART PHONO PLUS souncard.
