Schiit SOL, Owner'S Manual

Page: 3 / 16

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Take a deep breath. Make a cup of tea. Don’t be in a hurry. Turn-
tables aren’t plug-and-play. To get the most out of Sol, you’re going
to need to do a bit of assembly...and then you’re going to have to
install and set up a cartridge. The good news is that you’ll end up
with much higher performance than you can get with “ready to go”
tables.
THE EASI(EST) WAY
For easiest setup, we recommend you watch the video

PLINTH AND PLATTER ASSEMBLY
Careful! The Sol Plinth is partially assembled for shipping. Don’t
flip it over, or you may have to re-assemble it. (And don’t panic if
something falls off, just replace it and move on.)
1 Place the Sol Plinth on a level, stable surface near your audio
equipment. On top of a heavy equipment rack is ideal, since you’ll
be able to get to all of the Sol’s adjustments. We recommend align-
ing the plinth so that the first short leg points straight ahead, as
shown in Figure A.
GETTING STARTED
2 Slide the Sol Platter onto the bearing housing until it bottoms
out. You may need to loosen the bearing cap screws using the
5/64” allen key to get it to slide on and then tighten them up when
the platter is fully seated onto the plinth.
3 Place the Sol Poron Foam Mat on top of the platter. This is
important to decouple your records from the aluminum platter.
