Your Goldring turntable has been designed to maximise your

enjoyment of music while still being easy to use. 

We have omitted all the usual gimmicks; concentrating the

manufacturing costs on the high quality materials and design

necessary to accurately reproduce music from records. For example,

using a manual speed change, rather than an automatic mechanism,

eliminates speed inconsistencies and possible damage to the drive

belt (for the odd occasion you may want to play a 45 RPM record).

The money we save with this method is spent on an expensive low

vibration motor which would normally be used on a turntable costing

two or three times the amount. Goldring's minimalist design,

together with the use of extremely high quality components, ensures

that your turntable will last for many years. The tips we give may

help increase the longevity of your turntable, and give you maximum

musical enjoyment.

UNPACKING

After removing the turntable from its carton, remove the outer platter and
the cardboard spacer from underneath the sub-platter. Replace the outer
platter and felt mat. Remove balance weight from packing.

FITTING AN ALTERNATIVE CARTRIDGE

(GR1.2 and GR2)

Goldring turntables are supplied fitted with a
Goldring cartridge. To fit an alternative
cartridge, follow the manufacturer’s
instructions and then check the cartridge is
correctly aligned by using the supplied
protractor. To balance the arm, remove the grey
collar (GR1.2 only). Then follow the GR2 set-up
instructions but rotate the balance weight one half
turn for each one gram tracking force, for example
for a force of 3 grams rotate the weight 1

1/2

turns

towards the front of the arm. Set the tracking force to
the upper limit recommended by the manufacturer. Set
the bias adjustment to same value as the tracking force.

Warning: 

Any attempt to adjust, modify or repair this product by persons
other than Goldring personnel may invalidate the guarantee.
