Introduction

Congratulations and thank you for choosing an Origin 
Live turntable. This should give many years of 
enjoyment, reliability and low maintenance.

It's critical that these instructions are read fully to 
achieve best  performance. Underlined text is especially 
important. 

The instructions are written for owners with no previous 
experience, however there are aspects of the deck that 
run contrary to expectations, so experts should not alter 
anything without absorbing these instructions first.

Diagrams cover 3 different turntables so are for guidance
not exact representation.

Origin Live turntables are simple to set up. The 
instructions appear lengthy because they give proper 
explanation of factors that are different to conventional 
set ups. If you have a problem not covered in the 
instructions - you should speak to your dealer or refer to 
technical support on the Origin Live web site 

www.originlive.com

 - See top navigation bar “ support”.

There is a wealth of 3

rd

 party information online. 

YouTube videos are particularly helpful on how to set up
cartridges and tonearms should you need more help – 
Just Google what you need to know.

Keep the turntable packing box for secure future 
transport.

Safety Warnings

Voltages inside the Motor Pod are dangerous so it must 
not be opened. 

Ensure Mains lead to the Motor Pod cannot be pierced 
by spikes or similar abuse. Also ensure the lead cannot 
cause anyone to trip.

Furthermore keep mains lead away
from areas where liquids could spill
on it.
