3. Installation and set up

The set up of the

Innovation Compact

turntable is easy as the turntable chassis is pre-

assembled and has been tested at the factory.

Please use the white gloves enclosed in order to avoid scratches or unwanted fingerprints

(platter).

The

Innovation Compact

turntable requires a space for set-up of at least

18,90 inch x 19,29 inch.

Please follow the description step by step:

1.)

First take out the three black flat pads out of the accessory bag.

Place these flat pads on your hifi-rack or another suitable base, where the final position of

your

Innovation Compact

–turntable will be.

2.)

After that, take the

Innovation Compact

-turntable body of the next packing layer.

and place the spikes of the turntable on the flat pads.

3.)

To avoid hum noises it can be necessary to ground the bearing. For that please plug in the

provided ground cable into the hole of the screw from the bearing at the bottom side of the

turntable.

4.)

Remove the protective security tape from the bearing housing.

Place two drops of the synthetic bearing oil on the ceramic bearing shaft

(also available at www.analogshop.de).

5.)

In the next step remove the lamination of the sensor, mounted on the turntable chassis

(picture 5: red frame).

Please remove the lamination extreme carefully and avoid any soiling and

scratches.

6.)

6.1.

Take the platter with both hands (with white gloves) carefully out of the packing.

Please pay attention that the integrated bearing does not fall out of the platter!

The flat side of the platter should face to the chassis and the side with the cut-out (for the

record) should face up.

6.2.

In the next step remove the lamination of the sensor on the bottom side of the platter.

Please remove the lamination extreme carefully and avoid any soiling and

scratches.

6.3.

With both hands you can place the platter carefully onto the bearing.

Through a lightly (!!) up and down movement the platter will slip onto the bearing upper

part (picture 6).

Avoid major side forces to prevent any damages

to the ceramic bearing!

To avoid any damages on your bearing, the platter

should have room temperature before the set up begin

(approx. 20 ° Celsius).

Make sure with gentle pressure that the platter is applying on the complete surface of the

bearing.

7.)

To install the tonearm and / or to mount and adjust a cartridge, please follow the user

manual of the manufacturer.

8.)

The following final adjustment is very important:

Please ensure that your turntable rack is in a levelled position.

Please check with the delivered level gauge, if your

Innovation Compact

turntable is in a

levelled position.

You can adjust each of the turntables`feet to get the turntable levelled.

To adjust the height, first turn the middle part of the feet (Pic. 8 a; green arrow), then you

can twist the end part (Pic 8 b, red frame) to the desired height.

After the adjustment, please make sure, to turn the middle part again to fix the selected

position.

Only if the turntable is in a levelled position you will get the best results with your

Innovation Compact

turntable.

9.)

Please connect the plug of the power supply with the linkage of the turntable.

After that connect the power supply with the electric power supply.

10.)

Place the drive belt around the platter and around

the motor pulley.

By pushing the sensor-switch, marked with “33

1/3” on the motor, the turntable starts to spin until

33 1/3 rpm is reached.

After the initial set-up we recommend to let the

turntable spin for at least 15 to 30 minutes.

This ensures a smoother break in.
