Getting Started
Line up the shoulder screws with the slots on
the receiving fixture so that the shaft is fully in-
serted, and rotate the entire Pitch Antenna Arm
one-eighth of a turn away from you to lock it
into place, and to bring the threaded hole for the
Pitch Antenna into the upright position.
Left-Handed Adjustments:
When attaching the Pitch Antenna Arm to a Clar-
avox Centennial configured for a left-handed
player, begin with the threaded hole for the Pitch
Antenna facing up and away from you. Insert the
shaft into the receiving fixture on the left side
of the instrument. Line up the shoulder screws
with the slots on the receiving fixture so that the
shaft is fully inserted, and rotate the entire Pitch
Antenna Arm one-eighth of a turn toward you to
lock it into place, and to bring the threaded hole
for the Pitch Antenna into the upright position.
Pitch Antenna
Refer to Figure 2
The Pitch Antenna, which is the long straight
tube, is sealed at one end and threaded at the
other end. Carefully line up the threads of the
Pitch Antenna with the threaded hole on the
Pitch Antenna Arm, and rotate the antenna to
secure it into position, so that it sticks straight up
like the mast on a boat. Ensure that the antenna
is seated snugly, but don’t overtighten it.
Volume Antenna
Refer to Figure 4
The long end of the Volume Antenna, which is
the looped brass tube, connects to the receiving
fixture on the left side of Claravox Centennial.
A retaining pin is fixed through the Volume
Antenna near where it connects to Claravox
Centennial. With the loop, or bulge, facing up
and toward you, insert the Volume Antenna into
the receiving fixture on the left side of the in-
strument. Line up the retaining pin with the slot
on the receiving fixture so that the shaft is fully
inserted, and rotate the Volume Antenna one-
eighth of a turn toward you to lock it into place.
Left-Handed Adjustments:
When attaching the Volume Antenna to a Clar-
avox Centennial configured for a left-handed
player, insert the long end of the Volume Anten-
na into the receiving fixture on the right side of
the instrument. Line up the retaining pin with
the slot on the receiving fixture so that the Vol-
ume Antenna is fully inserted, and rotate it one-
eighth of a turn toward you to lock it into place.
Removing Claravox Centennial
To remove the instrument from the stand, first
remove the Volume Antenna, the Pitch An-
tenna, and the Pitch Antenna Arm. Holding
Claravox Centennial with one hand, loosen the
two captive thumbscrews using your free hand,
and carefully lift Claravox Centennial from the
mounting plate and stand.
Power
Plug the included power adapter into the +12V
DC power jack on the rear panel of your Clar-
avox Centennial. Connect the other end to a
properly wired and grounded AC outlet. Press-
