Pro-Ject Align It PRO Cartridge Alignment Tool
With Pro-Ject Align It PRO Cartridge Alignment Tool you have access to a unique and effective workflow that makes adjusting pickups incredibly fast and efficient.
You can adjust the Align it PRO to the exact length of your tonearm and fix it with the center of the tonearm bearing. For Pro-Ject tonearms, the mounting rod has two sides. A pointed end – ideal for any type of tonearm or bearing. And a second, flat end that fits exactly into the center screw of our higher quality tonearms and their bearings (X1, X2, CC and CC Evo, …).
With this approach, the exact distance for the overhang is set in a snap – with unmatched accuracy to boot. You don’t have to go back and forth between the inner and outer zero points to get a 100% accurate overhang distance, as is the case with other types of templates! This is also the reason why only the inner zero point is printed on the Align it PRO!
Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, the Align it PRO comes with detailed instructions and background information to ensure you’re well prepared to extract maximum sound from your records.

Baerwald Geometry
The Align it PRO uses the Baerwald geometry. It is an excellent all-rounder, perfect for getting started with cartridge tuning.
It offers an ideal balance between tracking the inner and outer grooves, while maintaining excellent linearity in the middle range of the record. The music industry today tends to use shorter lengths (20 minutes or less per side) and use 2 records – or 4 sides – per album. Baerwald is a perfect choice for this trend and works universally for many other styles as well.
Align it PRO is suitable for all Pro-Ject turntables and many turntables and tonearms from other manufacturers, depending on their distance between the pivot point and the spindle.
