3. Set-up and assembly
Your new Perpetuum Ebner turntable is a sub-chassis
turntable and is therefore mostly insensitive to external
shocks.
For optimum use of its musical sound qualities you
should always place the device on a flat and stable
surface.
When mounting the device you start with plugging the
sub-platter into the bearing bush (see fig. F 2).
The bearing bushes are self-lubricating and therefore
do not require bearing oil.

Afterwards, lay the flat belts around the sub-platter
and the motor pulley; please ensure that the belt is not
twisted.
Please use the cotton gloves here in order to avoid
any oil and grease marks.
The belt embraces the sub-platter in the lower area of
the sub-platter scope (see fig. F 3).
Note: If you start the drive of the PE 2525 by turning it
on without having placed the platter, it may happen
that the drive belt falls off due to the low weight!
Next, put the platter on the sub-platter.
We recommend to always use a mat to acoustically
attenuate the platter, to gently playback your records,
and to reduce popping and cracking noises that can
occur because of antistatic charging.

4. Connections
a.) Power supply
We equip the PE 2525 turntable with power supply
connectors.
b.) RCA connection
Your new PE 2525 turntable is equipped with RCA
sockets as well as a ground wire.
Use the provided connection cable to connect the
turntable to the phono input of your amplifier, or phono-
preamplifier. In doing so, make sure the polarity is
correct (R, red, for right, L, black, for left) when
connecting the device. The separate earth wire
establishes the ground connection. Connect the ground
wire of the turntable to the ground wire of your amplifier,
or phono-preamplifier (see fig. F 4).
With these connection possibilities, the sound quality of
your turntable can be further improved at any time with
the high-quality cables available in specialist shops.

Platter bearing
5. Drive settings
The sub-chassis drive and the bearing setting are
already set properly at the factory.
However, for individual adjustments it is possible to
customize the following:
a.) Adjusting the platter bearing:
It is possible to adjust the ratio of the platter bearing
between the bearing on the steel ball or the magnetic
pillow by adjusting the screw M5 on the bottom side of
the device by loosening the counter nut.
You can individually adjust the distance between the
bottom side of the platter and the platter by tightening
or loosening the screw.
This may be necessary after several years because of
the decreasing magnetic effect (see fig. F 5 - platter
bearing).

Sub-chassis
b.) Adjusting the sub-chassis drive:
The sub-chassis is already preset in the way that there is
a constant distance of approx. 5 mm between the
underside of the platter and the underside of the tone
arm socket.
This distance has the purpose to allow the sub-chassis
to freely oscillate in all directions.
The installation of our suspension bolts permits the sub-
chassis to only oscillate vertically in a limited and
controlled way (see fig. F 6 with bottom tray).

6. Tone arm and pick-up cartridge
The PE 2525 is delivered with a preinstalled tone arm
of the producer THORENS, model TP 92, as well as
with an installed ORTOFON pickup, model 2M Blue.
All settings have already been made at the factory.
The weights to balance the tone arm have been
removed for transport.
Further details can be found in the following chapters.
a.) Tracking force
You can adjust the tracking force by rotating the
weights of the tone arm.
The tracking force increases, the more you turn the
weights forward towards the tone arm (see fig. F 7).
