the "True Wireless Pairing Mode" command. Then do the same on the second speaker.
•
Tip: Open a smartphone Bluetooth setting and wait for both speakers to show up in the bluetooth
new devices list (but don't select them on the screen).
•
Now press the pairing button on the turntable (53).
•
Now the connection should be completed.
•
If using two Small Transparent Speakers or Light Speakers, or a combination of these, they should
automatically go into "Left" respectively "Right" channel mode. Otherwise it can be adjusted by
long press (see the speaker bottom side instuctions). For the large Transparent Speaker you do
this selection manually on the back panel by a switch.
Anti-skating
The small "needle" or "stylus" at the tip of the tonearm (21) picks up the music vibrations from a
V-shaped groove on the record. The inner or "left" side of the V holds all the sound wave information of
the left channel of the music recording, and vice versa on the outer or "right" side of this groove. The
tonearm naturally wants to move closer to the center of the record, but if it pulls or "skates" too hard
inwards it will push too hard on the left channel side, which in turn creates distortion of the right channel
in the music. If you hear this happen you can make the stylus "skate" less inwards by increasing the
anti-skating force on the anti-skating knob (28). And vice versa, if you hear distortions of the left channel
in the music you should decrease the anti-skating force. The aim is to let the stylus travel in the middle
of the V shaped groove. The default anti-skate setting on your TT should be 2.
Vertical Tracking Force / Tonearm Counterweight Calibration
Your TT should arrive with a pre-calibrated tonearm counterweight (24). But if needed please follow the
steps below.
•
Open the dust cover and use the assembly tool (39) to release the counterweight set screw (25).
•
Release the tonearm clip (32) but keep the tonearm lifting lever (31) in down position.
•
Grab the counterweight with your fingers, screw it outwards until the tonearm lifts up from its
resting position.
•
Rotate the tonearm inwards over the record. Now gently screw the counterweight back in until
you can see a perfectly balanced tonearm. It does not have to be completely level, but it should
float in mid air without moving up or down. Give it some time and when you find a completely
balanced position, gently grab the rotatable counterweight dial (26) and turn it to the 0 position.
You need to keep the rest of the weight from rotating so you might need to hold it in place with
your other hand.
•
Find out the recommended tracking force of your cartridge. For example, for the Ortofon OM5E it
is 1,75g which can be found on the Ortofon website or user manual. Normally it is around 2g so if
you are unsure we recommend this setting.
•
Now turn the whole counterweight (including the dial) to the recommended tracking force of your
cartridge.
•
Finally tighten one of the set screws to fix the now calibrated counterweight position.
Changing the Cartridge
Usually, the cartridge (36) comes pre-installed. Otherwise, install the cartridge into the aluminium
headshell (34) using the two mounting screws located on the tonearm grip (35). All cartridges with
standard half inch mounting holes can be fitted.
Connect the cartridge cables as indicated below:
White: left channel L+
Red: right channel R+
Green: right channel R-
Blue: left channel L-
Use the cartridge alignment tool to calibrate the new cartridge along an entire record (instructions
below).
Changing the Stylus
The stylus is the front part of the cartridge. 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.
The replacement stylus type for the pre-mounted cartridge Ortofon OM5E is the "Stylus OM5E".
If changing only the stylus on the Ortofon OM5E there is usually no need for re-alignment of the cartridge
or re-adjustment of the tracking force.
Changing The Headshell
If you wish to use another headshell (34) simply unscrew the headshell mount (33) and then pull the
headshell outwards to release it.
Insert another SME connector compatible headshell, screw it in place with your fingers and use the
cartridge alignment tool to calibrate it along an entire record (instructions below).
Cartridge Alignment
•
First retrieve your cartridge alignment tool (40) from the bottom side of the E box.
•
To make sure that the turntable cannot move during the alignment procedure, place small
cardboard wedges (or similar) beneath the outer edge of the turntable platter.
•
Put a record on the turntable.
•
Unlatch the tonearm clip.
•
Lift the tonearm lifting lever to the up position.
•
Unscrew the cartridge screws a bit so it can be adjusted.
•
Move the cartridge forward or backward in the headhshell to place the stylus tip at the overhang
point recommended for the headshell. If there is no recommended overhang, position the
cartridge in the middle of the headshell.
•
Balance the tone arm and temporarily apply a tracking force of 1 gram.
•
Slip the hole of the alignment tool over the turntable spindle (19), and place the alignment tool on
the record over the area where the stylus tracks.
•
Inner (near the center of the record) alignment point: Lower the tone arm lever so that the stylus
tip rests on the inner stylus tip marking on the tool. If the sides of the cartridge body are not
parallel to the reference lines on the tool, raise the tone arm lever and adjust the cartridge body
position by the two top screws, so that it is parallel to the reference lines on the protractor.
•
Outer Alignment Point: Repeat this procedure for the outer stylus tip marking on the alignment
tool.
•
Repeat this procedure on both points until the cartridge body is parallel at both points, or as close
to parallel as possible. If the cartridge can only be made parallel at one point, select the inner
point (closer to the center of the record).
•
When the adjustment procedure is completed, fully tighten the cartridge mounting screws.
•
Finally reset the correct tracking force of your tonearm counterweight.
