3. Set-up

Setting up the

concept

turntable is easy. The turntable chassis, tonearm and cartridge are

already assembled and all key parameters have been pre-adjusted and tested at the

Clearaudio factory.

The c

oncept

turntable requires a place for set-up

Location of at least 17 inch x 14 inch.

1.)

First take the

concept

turntable chassis out of the

package and place it on a suitable surface. Then

remove the drive belt from the plastic bag.

2.)

Place the drive belt around the sub-platter and around

the motor pulley.

3.)

Take the platter out of the package and carefully

Place it with both hands onto the shaft.

4.)

Carefully remove the adhesive security

tape and further security materials from the

tonearm and the cartridge.

5.)

As all key parameters have been adjusted at the

6.)

If your

concept

turntable is not in a perfectly

level position, as indicated by the bubble of the

level gauge not being positioned in the centre

of the black circle, you can adjust the turntable’s

feet by turning them clockwise or anti-clockwise

until you reach a perfectly level position. You

can then lock in the ideal position of the spikes

using the lock screw. You will only get the best

sound from your

concept

turntable if the turntable

is in a perfectly level position.

7.)

Connect one of the external

Power supply provided to the

socket on the rear of

the

concept

turntable

and the other end to a live AC outlet.

Then connect the tonearm cable to your phonostage.

4. Important notes

Adjustment of the tracking force

Never check or adjust the tracking force when there is a record on the platter. Always

remove the record first. The pre-adjusted and recommended tracking for the Clearaudio

concept

MM cartridge is 2.4 grams (+/- 0.2 grams) and for the Clearaudio

concept

cartridge 2.2 grams (+/- 0.2 grams).

Adjustment of the tonearm height

As everything on the turntable is pre-assembled and tested, including tonearm and

cartridge, there is usually no need to change any parameters on the

concept

turntable.

If you want to change the height of your tonearm please refer to your nearest qualified

dealer or service personnel.

Your dealer can make the height adjustment by loosening the locking screw on the side of

the tonearm base of your turntable (see pic. 8).

Clearaudio assumes no liability for wrong handling or any damages, if non

qualified persons take any action on adjustments.

Adjustment of the Anti-skating force

Again, as everything on the turntable is pre-assembled and tested, including tonearm and

cartridge, there is usually no need to change any of the

concept

turntable parameters. If you

want to change your cartridge and to adjust the Anti-skating force please refer to your

nearest qualified dealer or service personnel. Your dealer will find the Anti-skating adjuster

on the underside of the turntable.

Your dealer will find the Anti-skating –bolt on the underside of the turntable (see pic. 9).

IMPORTANT:

For any transportation of the

concept

the upper surface facing downwards into the packaging. Please ensure that you fully retract

the turntable feet.

concept

turntable, please always remove the turntable platter
