Thanks for selecting Spindeck MAX!

Your Spindeck MAX has been painstakingly designed to treat your valuable records 

with great care and provide exceptional sound quality with the ultimate convenience of 

fully automatic operation.

Spindeck has been custom crafted for us in Germany by one of the most respected 

manufacturers of high-fidelity turntables with over 60 years of experience. Unlike many 

automatic turntables, the low-mass tonearm of Spindeck MAX provides the vanishingly 

low friction provided by precision bearings necessary to allow the phono cartridge to 

perform at its best. 

We know you are anxious to get spinning, but please take a few moments to read 

through this booklet to get the most enjoyment from your Spindeck MAX. If you have 

any questions not covered here please contact Andover Audio support via email 

([email protected]).

Getting Started

Spindeck comes with a cartridge pre-mounted and all critical adjustments factory set. 

No user adjustment is necessary. To setup Spindeck, you only have to remove the 

packing materials and install the platter and dust cover. Then plug it into your system 

and you’re ready to play.

Check for Damage 

Your turntable was shipped partially disassembled with transportation locks in place 

to avoid damage to sensitive parts. Please check to make sure that neither the 

packaging nor the device was damaged in transit. If you are missing parts, or if the 

unit is damaged, please do not operate it and contact either your dealer or support@

andoveraudio.com.

Safety instructions

The power adapter is used to connect and disconnect the unit from the main 

power. Make sure that the plug is easily accessible at all times. Hold the plug when 

unplugging the power cord. Never handle the power cord while your hands are wet or 

damp.

Avoid letting liquids enter the device. Never place any item containing liquid, like a 

flower vase, on or near the device. Never spill any liquid on the device. Never place any 

open flame sources, like lighted candles, on or near the device. The product shall not 

be used in damp or wet locations, next to a bathtub, sink, swimming pool or any other 

similar conditions.

Keep plastic bags away from children to prevent any risk of suffocation.
