Tracking force too low
Tracking force too high
NOTE: When the Origine is ordered with the optional Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge the tonearm
and cartridge were pre-calibrated at the factory by our technicians. Still it is important to
validate that the tracking force is set at 1.8g as the rear counterweight may have moved
during transport
.
If you are using a different phono cartridge it is time to install it to the headshell allowing you to
perform your tracking force adjustment. Please refer to the phono cartridge installation section on
page 13.
Motor positioning
& the AC adapter:
-
Connect the power adapter to a wall outlet and the round cylindrical connector to the power input at
the rear of the motor housing.
-
Position the motor unit on the left side of your Origine turntable so the motor housing matches with
the concave recess section of the plinth with the power connector pointing towards the rear. This will
position the On / Off switch button on the front left side of the motor unit.
Note: It is important that the motor housing does not touch the plinth of the Origine to avoid the
transmission of vibrations to the plinth! The motor of the Origine should be positioned at about 16mm
(5/8
th
of an inch) from the plinth of the turntable.

rpm / 45 rpm speed selection
Note
: The Origine drive belt has two different surfaces on each sides! One side has a glassy finish while the
other side has a rough finish.
It is very important that the rough side of the drive belt be the surface that is
in contact with the platter’s perimeter and the motor’s pulley to ensure maximum friction!
