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.
