Engrove Audio Tools 3.0

Browser-based toolkit for turntable, tonearm and cartridge setup. Use the public tools below for tonearm matching, cartridge resonance and compliance, alignment geometry, overhang, offset angle, null points, VTA/SRA and setup reference data.

Tonearm Match Lab - Estimate cartridge-tonearm resonance frequency and support tonearm matching with effective mass, cartridge mass and dynamic compliance.
Compliance Estimator - Estimate the 10 Hz cartridge compliance from manufacturer specifications. Converts 100 Hz compliance to the value needed for resonance calculations.
Tonearm Geometry Lab - Calculate alignment geometry for pivoted tonearms: null points, overhang, offset angle and tracking error. Supports Baerwald, Lofgren and Stevenson.
VTA & SRA Lab - Estimate stylus rake angle changes caused by tonearm height adjustments.
Data Explorer - Browse cartridge and tonearm reference data to support resonance, compliance and alignment setup work.

Measurement Lab remains hidden from public navigation while the module is being finalized. Development access remains available by direct route.

Tonearm Match Lab

Estimates cartridge-tonearm resonance frequency. Inputs: effective tonearm mass (g), cartridge compliance (um/mN or CU), tracking force (g). Output: estimated resonance frequency in Hz and a compatibility rating. Practical resonance target is 8-12 Hz.

Compliance Estimator

Converts cartridge compliance rated at 100 Hz to the 10 Hz equivalent needed for resonance calculations. Input: 100 Hz compliance figure. Output: estimated 10 Hz compliance.

Tonearm Geometry Lab

Calculates tonearm alignment geometry for pivoted tonearms. Inputs: effective length, pivot-to-spindle distance, inner/outer groove radii. Outputs: null points, overhang, offset angle and tracking error. Supports Baerwald, Lofgren A/B and Stevenson alignments.

VTA & SRA Lab

Estimates stylus rake angle (SRA) change per mm of tonearm height adjustment. Inputs: effective tonearm length, arm height, stylus cantilever geometry. Output: estimated SRA change in degrees per mm of lift.

Data Explorer

Browse cartridge and tonearm reference data used by the public setup tools. Search and inspect published values that support resonance calculations, compliance work and alignment geometry decisions.
