PREFACE 
 

Please take time to read this Instruction Manual before unpacking your Diva II SP Turntable. 
This product is a precision-engineered machine and whilst damage is unlikely with careful handling, the 

sheer mass of some of the parts could lead to damage of less robust parts within its design.  
Some of these parts have been excluded from the warranty.  
             

<TAKE CARE AND READ THIS MANUAL> 

 

INTRODUCTION 
 

Diva II SP is an audio analogue turntable manufactured to extreme limits of precision and design. 
There are many unique and novel features in this product and its design allows you to install the pick-

up arm and cartridge of your choice. With correct ancillary equipment will take your listening pleasure 
to new levels of excellence. 
 

Whilst it shares some features found in other turntables, it has been designed without compromise not 
trying to emulate or improve existing designs but redefine the whole thinking behind turntable design.  

 
We hope that you enjoy this turntable for many years! 

 
WARNINGS 

 
1.  To prevent fire or electric shocks do not expose either the power supply or motor assembly to rain 

or moisture. 

2.  The Main Bearing contains a Sapphire Cup Jewel and this can be damaged if proper care is not 

taken (see set-up and warranty) and this will affect or stop your turntable working correctly. 

3.  The Power Supply contains voltages, which can cause serious injury or death as there are no user 

serviceable parts and there is no reason to open it. In situations of failure return to an approved 

dealer or service agent. There are calibrated components inside and altering their settings will 
affect the performance and void the warranty. 

4.  The Motor is a sealed component and must under no circumstances be opened or adjusted.
