Counterweight
The Ingenium comes with a cartridge already installed. Before
playing any records, you must attach the counterweight; this
ensures the cartridge is played at the correct tracking weight.
Using a twisting action, gently push the counterweight onto the
rear of the tonearm until it reaches the stop, and cannot be
pushed further—the tracking weight is now correctly set.
Connecting to your System
This turntable uses a conventional Moving Magnet cartridge,
which is designed to work with the majority of amplifiers with a
built
-
in phono stage. If your amplifier does not have a phono
stage, you will need to acquire an external device. AVID produce a
range of suitable phono stages.
Please consult the amplifier or phono stage instructions supplied
by the manufacturer to correctly fit the tonearm cables. Also note
the earth connection is integrated into the tonearm lead and
there is no separate earth connection lead required.
Once you have connected your turntable to your amplifier, the
turntable is ready to be used.
Using the Clamp
Your Ingenium comes with a record clamp—this is designed to
minimise any warps in the record, but also to help control
vibrations within the record that adversely affect sound quality.
The clamp should be used at all times.
Simply place the record over the spindle and then screw the
clamp onto the spindle—
do this carefully to avoid cross
threading which will cause damage.
Do not use excessive force—hand
-
tight is more than adequate.
ALWAYS STOP THE TURNTABLE WHEN CHANGING THE RECORD
Starting the Turntable
You start the turntable by using the switch on the mains cable.
