Dear Clearaudio customer,

Congratulation’s to your choice of the

Innovation Compact

turntable, a world class turntable, hand-

made in Germany by Clearaudio electronic GmbH.

Resonance minimizing chassis sandwich construction in combination with the innovative motor unit

(low noise level and high turning moments), guarantees total isolation of resonances from the turn-

table chassis, providing the best music reproduction and authentic High End imaging.

A high precision, maintenance free sinter bronze bearing is completing the analogue pleasure.

The Clearaudio patented CMB-Bearing-Technology, an inverted bearing with jewelled and polished

ceramic bearing shaft and a bronzed liner, provides frictionless analog enjoyment.

Please read this instruction manual carefully, to avoid any damages or loss of warranty.

This manual will help you for an easy setup and guarantees the highest pleasure for a long time.

We wish you a lot of musical enjoyments with your new Clearaudio

Innovation Compact

Please follow the description step by step:

1.)

First take out the three black at pads out of the accessory bag. Place these at pads on your hi-

rack or another suitable base, where the nal position of your

Innovation Compact

turntable will be.

2.)

After that, take the

Innovation Compact

turntable body of the next packing layer and place the

spikes of the turntable on the at pads.

Pic. 6: Oiling the bearing shaft

3.)

To avoid hum noises it can be necessary to ground the bearing. For that please plug in the provided

ground cable into the hole of the screw from the bearing at the bottom side of the turntable.

Pic. 5: Grounding the bearing of the

Innovation Compact

4.)

Remove the protective security tape from the bearing housing.

Place two drops of the synthetic bearing oil on the ceramic bearing shaft

(also available at www.analogshop.de / Art. No. AC068).

5.)

In the next step remove the lamination of the sensor, mounted on the turntable chassis (picture 7:

red frame).

Please remove the lamination extreme carefully and avoid any soiling and scratches.

6.)

6.1)

Take the platter with both hands (with white gloves) carefully out of the packing.

Please pay attention that the integrated bearing does not fall out of the platter!

The at side of the platter should face to the chassis and the side with the cut-out (for the record)

should face up.

6.2)

In the next step remove the lamination of the sensor on the bottom side of the platter.

Please remove the lamination extreme carefully and avoid any soiling and scratches.

6.3)

With both hands you can place the platter carefully onto the bearing.

Through a lightly (!!) up and down movement the platter will slip onto the bearing upper part (

picture 8).

Pic. 7: Removing the lamination

Pic. 8: Setting up the platter

Avoid major side forces to prevent any damages to the

ceramic bearing!

To avoid any damages on your bearing, the platter

should have room temperature before the setup begin

(approx. 20 ° Celsius).

Make sure with gentle pressure that the platter is ap-

plying on the complete surface of the bearing.

7.)

To install the tonearm and / or to mount and adjust a cartridge, please follow the user manual of the

manufacturer.

8.)

The following nal adjustment is very important:

Please ensure that your turntable rack is in a levelled position.

Please check with the delivered level gauge, if your

Innovation Compact

turntable is in a levelled

position.

You can adjust each of the turntables feet to get the turntable levelled (Pic. 9).

To adjust the height, rst turn the middle part of the feet (Pic. 10 a; green arrow), then you can

twist the end part (Pic. 10 b, red frame) to the desired height.

After the adjustment, please make sure, to turn the middle part again to x the selected position.

Pic. 9: Alignment of the

turntable

9.)

Please connect the plug of the power supply with the linkage of the turntable.

After that connect the power supply with the electric power supply.

Only if the turntable is in a levelled position you will get the best results with your

Innovation

Compact

turntable.

Pic. 11: Connection of power supply and motor

10.)

Place the at belt around the platter and around the

motor pulley.

By pushing the sensor-switch, marked with “33 1/3”

on the motor, the turntable starts to spin until 33 1/3

rpm is reached.

After the initial setup we recommend to let the turnta-

ble spin for at least 15 to 30 minutes.

This ensures a smoother break in.
