Remove this layer of foam.
The MTI100 will be revealed. Carefully, remove the
unit and place it on a secure surface.
Under this level will be the Turntable Platter secured
between two pieces of protective foam packing.
Where to Put It
A firm and level surface with good isolation is
essential for best performance. Optimal record
playback is achieved when the turntable is perfectly
level. It should also be kept away from the speakers
to prevent the cartridge from picking up unwanted
vibrations.
Keep it Safe
The Olympia Stylus is both important and delicate. To
protect the Stylus, it is best to leave the Stylus Guard
installed while setting up or moving the MTI100. But
when the time comes to unleash the Stylus, you can
do so by pulling downward. Replace the Stylus Guard
by reversing the procedure (see Figure 1).
Putting it Together
The Tubes
The MTI100 uses a tube driven output stage to
exquisitely extract the music from vinyl as well as
other analog and digital sources including wireless
connections. Two 12AX7 vacuum tubes are expertly
matched to the Sumiko Olympia Moving Magnet
Cartridge, and combined with ultra-clean circuitry,
provide warm balanced and detailed full range
performance. Plus the glowing tubes look great.
To install the Tubes
•
Carefully line up pins at the bottom of the tube
with the 9 pin holes of the Tube Socket (see
Figure 2).
•
Press downward with even pressure.
•
Stop when flush.
•
Repeat for the second Tube.
The key is to line up the pins with the holes. You do
not want to bend the pins.
Install Vacuum Tube Shield Cover
Two Vacuum Tube Shield Covers are included to
help protect the Vacuum Tubes (see Figure 3).
To install:
•
Arrange the Vacuum Tube Shield Cover so that
the “Mc” in the center is in the right direction.
•
Line up the 4 Legs of the Vacuum Tube Shield
Cover with the four holes surrounding the Tube
Socket (see Figure 2).
•
Press the Vacuum Tube Shield Cover into place.
•
Repeat for the second cover.
