The turntable should rest on a level and stable surface that is clear of obstructions. If a mixer is placed between two turntables make sure that there is at least ¼" (7mm) between the mixer and the turntables to prevent damage to the turntables and to reduce unwanted system noise. Mixer Mixer 85 mm ¼" ¼" Setup Style 1 (traditional) Best For: Long mixes and blending techniques Mixer ¼" ¼" Setup Style 2 (battle style, scratching) Best For: Scratching, cutting and aggressive mixing techniques Mixer There are many variations of these setups. Find the best setup that works for your mixing style by experimenting with different turntable and mixer placements. It is strongly recommended that the top mixer surface and the top flat surface of the turntable be at the same level. PAGE 5 SETUP & INSTALLATION PLATTER SETUP WARNING: Incorrect Platter setup can lead to poor turntable performance, platter instability or permanent motor damage. Start by inspecting the bottom of the aluminum platter to check that both locking pins have rubber fittings on them. This turntable will not work properly if connected to a LINE LEVEL input or CD input. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. REAR or SIDE PAGE 7 CABLE SETUP TONE ARM SETUP A properly adjusted tone arm and cartridge setup will minimize vinyl record wear and optimize the performance of the turntable. Follow these simple steps for setting the tone arm on the turntable: Balancing the Tone Arm 1. Begin the balancing process by lifting the cue lever to the up position (or make sure that the stylus protector is on the cartridge. ) 2. Next, rotate the counterweight clockwise until it is in the complete forward position (NOTE: this is also the maximum amount of pressure that can be applied to the cartridge. ) 3. Now there should be a feeling of weight and resistance when the head shell is raised and lowered. Begin rotating the counterweight counter-clockwise (away from the pivot point) until this weight and resistance feeling is gone. If done properly, the tone arm will pivot with very little resistance back and forth indicating that there is exactly 0 grams of stylus pressure. With the counterweight in its new position further away from tone arm pivot point, grasp the scale ring of the counter weight and rotate it until "0" is in the vertical position. Finally, rotate the counterweight (and scale ring) clockwise (towards the pivot point) until the desired amount of weight is reached. If the scale rotates 360 degrees beyond the zero point, the new scale ring reading should be added to 3. 5. *The included head shell and cartridge assembly requires a minimum of 3 grams and no more than 5 grams for optimum performance. Setting the Anti-Skate Adjustment In most cases, the Anti-Skate should be set to its minimum setting. Anti-Skate compensates for inward tracking forces that occur with certain cartridges when the stylus nears the center of the record.
