Delicately  position  the  tonearm  over  the  pivot  shaft  being  extremely  careful  not  to  hit  the  tonearm 
base  against  the  tip  of  the  pivot  shaft  as  this  would  damage  it. 

Keep  your  stylus  guard  on  your 

phono cartridge for now.

Clip the Origine tonearm in the armrest.  

 

 

 

 

-

 

Connect the tonearm wire harness (the 5 pin green connector) to the 5 pin header at the top of the 
RCA  output  box  at  the  back  of  the  Origine. 

Note

this  is  a  polarized  connector  and  it  can  be 

connected in only one direction!

  Once connected, the wires from the green connector should be 

pointing away from the turntable. 
 

-

 

Make sure that the delicate tonearm wires are free and that they do not get in contact with the RCA 
cables  or  ground  cable.  Any  stress  or  tension  on  the  tonearm  wires  will  have  an  impact  on  the 
tonearm

’s free motion and will affect the sound reproduction.

Setup the anti-skating weight. One end of the string is already attached to the tracking force stem at 
the rear of the tonearm base. Gently lead the anti-skating barrel string up and over the support hook 
located at the rear of the tonearm base letting it hang freely. Make sure the string holding the barrel 
is  not  twisted  around  the  tonearm  wires!  The  acrylic  barrel  itself  represents  a  weight  of  one  gram. 
The provided small stainless steel pins each have a mass of 0.25 gram.
