“Align it DS3 is one of the easiest yet most effective alignment tools available. With it you can adjust and align your cartridges with ease. Different to many other alignment protractors the Align it DS3 traces the whole path of the tonearm from the outer to the inner null-point. This is great for beginners and professionals alike, as it makes alignment much more comfortable. You do not need to constantly rotate your turntables platter when going from outer to inner nullpoint while aligning your cartridge. The Align it DS3 stays fixed in position and you do not need to worry about getting the position right each time. This is the advantage of tracing the whole tonearm arc on the protractor. Align it DS3 is suitable for all Pro-Ject turntables and many other manufacturers turntables and tonearms depending on their pivot to spindle distance.” – Pro-Ject
