Setup

Placement of the Turntable

Select a location, where you would like to place your turntable. Take care that the construction

below the turntable is solid enough to carry the heavy weight of the turntable. Do not place the

turntable close to loudspeakers, to avoid acoustic coupling. There should be also no direct sun to the

turntable. This can cause damage or bleaching of the wooden surface.

For correct horizontal placement, the turntable is equipped with 4 adjustable feet. You can check

placement with a spirit level. The feet have a micro thread. It can be leveled by turning the foot.

Connection of Phono Cable

The phono cable (item I in the delivery content) must be connected to the tonearm. Below the

tonearm, there is a big hole in the bottom plate of the turntable. Through this hole, you can see the 5

pin connector of the tonearm, refer picture below:

Lift up the turntable, to insert the 5-pin connector of the phono cable into the tonearm connector.

Place the turntable back at your table or rack.

The other end of the phono cable has standard RCA plugs for the left and right stereo channel and an

additional grounding wire. The RCA plugs must be connected to your Amplifier at the “Phono” input.

The grounding wire must be connected to the ground clamp at the phono section of your amplifier.

The turntable is equipped with a low output MC-Cartridge. Please ensure that your phono section

supports low output MC-Cartridges.

Installation of Platter and Mat

Now you can place the platter (item C in the delivery content) carefully to the motor sub platter. It is

centered by the motor axle. The platter sits with its own weight on the motor platter and does not

need any fixture. Be careful, when you handle the heavy platter and do not drop it.

The platter mat (item D in the delivery content) can now be placed on top of the platter.

Installation of Counterweight

The counterweight (item F in the delivery content) must be installed at the backside rod of the

tonearm. By turning it, the position of the weight moves back and forth. Please refer picture below:

Installation of Hinges and Dust Cover

There are 2 hinge sockets at the rear side of the turntable (refer schematic of the top view in the

overview section). Here you can insert the 2 hinges (item E in the delivery content). Now you can

place the dust cover. It has 2 fixture slots at the rear side, which fit to the hinges.

Connection of Power Supply

Important: Please do only use the correct power supply unit (item G in the delivery content)!

The power supply has its own housing and can be placed separately. The DC jack of the power supply

must be connected to the DC input at the backside of the turntable. Refer to the schematic of the

back view in the overview section.

Now you can connect the mains cable (item H in the delivery content) to the power supply. The

mains connector of the cable can now be inserted to a mains socket in your room.

Adjustment

Balancing the Tonearm

During this procedure it is very important that the stylus of the cartridge does not hit any

part. Otherwise it can be easily damaged or broken!

Please follow this procedure for balancing the tonearm step by step:

Step 1:

Set tracking force scale to “0”.

Step 2:

Set antiskating scale to “0”.

Step 3:

Move lift lever to “lift down” position.

Step 4:

Move the tonearm carefully from the tonearm rest to a

position between tonearm rest and platter.

Attention:

To avoid any damage of the pickup stylus, use one

hand, to hold the headshell in position.

Step 5:

The counterweight can be rotated on its axle.

Depending on the turning direction, it moves forward

or backward (refer upper and middle schematic on the

left). So you can find the position, where the tonearm

is freely levitating in the horizontal position (like in the

lower schematic on the left).

Attention:

Whenever you turn at the counterweight, use one

hand, to hold the headshell in position. So, you avoid

uncontrolled movement. Then release the headshell

carefully, to check the balancing.

Once the tonearm is correctly balanced, move it back to tonearm rest.
