SETUP

1. Platter and drive belt installation

Please remove drive belt from accessories box and install it as shown in the following illustration. Put the felt

mat on the top of the platter.

2. Cartridge installation, stylus exchange

* If you purchased this turntable in a package that included the cartridge, this has already been done for

you.

Install the cartridge into the aluminium headshell, using the appropriate hardware included with your

cartridge. All cartridges with half inch mounting holes can be fitted.

Connect the cartridge as indicated below:

•White left channel L+

•Red right channel R+

•Green right channel R-

•Blue left channel L-

For correct cartridge alignment, use the two-point cartridge alignment protractor provided with your T1

accessories. If unfamiliar with two-point setup, please refer to your dealer.

A damaged or worn stylus may harm your record collection and should be replaced.

Please remove stylus protection before pulling the stylus from the cartridge and replace for a new one.

Stylus type is exchange for pre-mounted cartridge Sumiko Rainier: Stylus Sumiko Rainier. If in doubt, consult your

local dealer or distributor.

3. Vertical Tracking Force setting (VTF)

The T2 W comes with the counterweight already assembled on the tonearm, and the tracking force is factory

pre-adjusted.

To adjust or fine tune the tracking force manually, loosen the hexagonal screw on top of the counterweight

(6) using the allen key provided. Remove the stylus protection cover and place the stylus pressure gauge onto

the platter. To set the required VTF, lower the tonearm lift lever (10) as indicated in the illustration and place

the tip of the stylus on one of the points on the scale. For example, the Sumiko Rainier requires 20mN of

tracking force, so place the stylus on the 20mN point.

If the stylus gauge becomes level when the tonearm is lowered down onto the desired point, then the correct

pressure has been achieved. However, if there is insufficient or excessive pressure, the gauge will either not

move or tilt down.

To adjust the amount of pressure, carefully move the counterweight (11) along the support rod, until the

stylus pressure is sufficient to raise the pressure gauge to the level position. Moving the counterweight (6)

away from the cartridge will reduce pressure and towards will increase pressure. Finally secure the

counterweight (6) using hexagonal key provided.

4. Maintenance and cleaning

Your record player requires little or no regular maintenance. Remove dust with a slightly moistened antistatic

cloth. Never use a dry cloth because this will create static electricity which attract more dust! Antistatic

cleaning fluids are available at specialist stores but must be applied sparingly to avoid damage to rubber

parts. It is recommended to fit the needle cover before cleaning or maintenance is carried out to avoid damage.

If the player is not used over a long period of time the drive belt can be removed to prevent unequal stretching.

5. Switching on and off, changing replay speed

The turntable is equipped with a three-position switch for ON/OFF and electronic speed change. To play

records at 33 rpm. press this switch (3) to the rear side. To play records at 45 rpm. press this switch (3) to the

front side as shown on illustration below.

6. Anti-skating

The anti-skating force is pre-adjusted from the factory corresponding to the tracking force.

Sumiko Rainier recommended tracking force 20mN = anti-skating set to 2 (middle position).

You can adjust the anti-skating by rotating the anti-skating setting screw to the left or right.

7. Connection to the amplifier

The record player has gold plated female RCA phono sockets with LINE output (the internal phono preamp

of the T2W is always on). Connect the RCA outputs of your T2 W to a line input (such as AUX, CD, Tuner,

Tape or Video) on your amplifier. Take care to connect the left and right channels correctly. The right

channel is usually marked red, the left channel black or white. The earthing wire of the tonearm lead should

be connected to the earth terminal on your amplifier (if provided).

The analogue RCA output remains purely analogue and is not digitized, not affected by any

additional delay or in any other way influenced by the Wi-Fi capabilities of the turntable. You can rest

assured that the analogue output will always give you the pure analogue output signal.

8. Wi-Fi

App Control: Please download the App “Pro-Ject Control” (Android

and iOS) to control the Wi-Fi functionalities of your T2 W.

Browser Control: You can enter die IP address of your T2 W into

any webbrowser on a device connected to the same network and

control the Wi-Fi functionalities of your T2 W in exactly the same

way as with the App.

You can use IP Scanners or get the IP address from the

“Pro-Ject Control” App. Alternatively, the Pro-Ject Control

App will show you the IP address of your turntable as well,

after you connected it to your network via ethernet or Wi-Fi.

Wi-Fi Startup

The Wi-Fi module of your T2 W will boot up as soon as you connect the power supply to your turntable. You

can see its status from the colour of the LED:

Red static: Wi-Fi module starting up

Red blinking: Module started up, no ethernet or Wi-Fi connection established

Green static: Connected to ethernet or Wi-Fi network

Blue static: Streaming audio

Blue blinking: Previous streaming receiver unavailable

Network Connection

Ethernet: Connect an ethernet cable, the network connection will be

automatically established and LED turns green. Ethernet is

recommended for lossless streaming (note that also your streaming

receiver should be connected via ethernet and not Wi-Fi to avoid

connectivity issues).

Wi-Fi: You can add the T2 W to your Wi-Fi network via our “Pro-Ject

Control” App. Connect your T2 W to power and wait until Wi-Fi

module has finished booting (Status LED). Then open the “Pro-Ject

Control” App and you will see your turntable in the list of devices

waiting to be connected to a Wi-Fi network. If the turntable and the

Wi-Fi Setup don’t show up immediately, don’t worry. It can take 10

seconds to scan for available devices. Press “Wi-Fi Setup” and follow

the next steps.

Wi-Fi setup is done via BLE (= Bluetooth Low Energy), so please make sure your phone is granting

Bluetooth access to the “Pro-Ject Control” App. For BLE, you do not need to pair your phone to the

turntable. BLE always, doesn’t matter which BLE device, works WITHOUT pairing. A low energy

Bluetooth connection can be established on the fly automatically, just by having Bluetooth turned on

and access granted to the App.

Please allow 10-15 seconds for your phone to discover the turntable after first starting the app,

depending on how fast the Bluetooth connection is. If necessary, restart your phone after granting

access.

Wi-Fi Control Button

Press for 2 seconds: Turns Wi-Fi on or off

Short press: When turned on, start streaming to the previously selected streaming device

The Wi-Fi Control Button is a quick interface for you to start streaming to the streamer that you previously

selected in the Pro-Ject Control App or T2 W webinterface. You can also turn off the Wi-Fi module should

you wish to declutter your Wi-Fi network. Energy consumption is negligible in idle mode when the module is

turned on. But it won’t hurt to turn the module off, if you don’t use your turntable for longer periods to save

energy consumption.

In usual operation you will probably not need this button, as you will choose which device to stream to in

your App or webinterface. But once you have chosen an output streamer once, you can comfortably start

streaming to it again in a later session, by just pressing the button once. This saves time and there is no need

to break out the App or webinterface.

Pro-Ject Control App & Webinterface

With the Pro-Ject Control App or the T2 W’s webinterface you’ll do most of your interaction with the T2 W.

After connecting the T2 W to your network, choose which device to control (should you have more than one

on your network) from the main screen and from there choose which output device you want stream your

turntable to. You can stream to as many output devices as your network connection can handle. To stop the

stream simply select the output device again, the blue outline will go away, and streaming to that device will

stop.

Allow some time after choosing an output device and sending the stream to them. Each device reacts

differently past and reports the status back. Some are almost instantaneous and some take a few

seconds. The T2 W uses UPNP to hand over the digital audio streams and the streams itself are

either MP3 or FLAC, and implementations can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.

The more output devices you stream to, the more network bandwidth you need. The T2 W has very

powerful Wi-Fi and ethernet and internal processing power and can in theory handle hundreds of

lossless audio streams at the same time. The bottleneck is most likely your Wi-Fi access point or Wi-Fi

pollution (too many different Wi-Fi networks in too close proximity to each other.

The wheel in the top left corner takes you to the options menu.

Advanced streaming settings

Streaming Compatibility

The standard audio stream is designed to be compatible with as many devices as possible. Requirements are

that your streamer is UPNP capable and can play MP3 encoded live-streams.

An up-to-date list of compatible manufacturers and devices can be found on the T2 W product page on our

Pro-Ject Audio Systems website.

Lossless Audio Stream

The lossless audio stream in the Advanced Settings is not intended to be compatible with as many devices as

possible, but is intended to be used with high-end streamers like our own Stream Box S2 Ultra in excellent

network conditions. Please make sure to use this setting only on really good W-Fi connections or with

ethernet cables, as lossless requires roughly 6x more bandwidth.

At Pro-Ject Audio Systems the Stream Box S2 Ultra and Stream Box S2 are compatible with the lossless

stream.

A list of lossless compatible devices/manufacturers can be found on the T2 W product page on our Pro-Ject

Audio Systems website.

If the lossless audio stream is turned on, only selected compatible devices will receive it, the rest will continue

to receive the standard compressed stream, so you won’t run into any major bugs or issues.
