Mounting Origin Live arms

Thread the threaded vta adjuster onto your arm if it is an Origin Live 
Encounter or above. If your deck is a Resolution or Sovereign and 
you have an Encounter arm or above -  do not fit the threaded vta 
adjuster.  The adjuster must be oriented such that the largest diameter 
is uppermost.  Insert your tonearm into the armboard hole such that 
the vta adjuster locates centrally. Next fit the cork washer as shown in 
the diagram below before threading on the large clamping nut. You 
can set the arm to the correct height later but for now just clamp the 
arm in position using the large nut. To adjust the height of the arm, 
screw the vta adjuster up or down and reclamp the arm using the large 
base clamping nut. 
NOTE - For Origin Live arms with integral vta adjuster i.e Encounter 
and above you should raise the arm height to just below the right level 
using the threaded vta adjuster and then use the arm vta wheel for 
fine adjustment.

If you have the OL1 or Rega arm with 3 hole 
mounting

The arm is bolted or screwed to the deck using the 3 mounting holes 
in the base of the arm. To raise the arm for VTA adjustment you will 
need to fit 3 or more spacing washers under the arm base holes. One 
peice spacers are available from Rega if you want a neater looking 
solution.

For other makes of tonearm

Origin Live can provide the correct cut out in the sub-chassis or 
armboard for other makes of arm and after this refer to your arm 
installation instructions.

NOTE - On  newer decks (April 2009 onwards) the platter is a 
“loose” fit over a metal bush on the spindle. This means the platter 
can be removed from the spindle. 

Oil the bearing

 - with the small oil bottle supplied, run approx 10 

drops of oil into the top of the bearing house.

SPINDLE FOR PLATTER
(OR SOVEREIGN SUB-PLATTER)

Insert the spindle

 - Wipe the platter spindle surface first 

to ensure that it is absolutely clean and very gently insert it 
into the bearing house (If the oil does not overflow when the 
spindle touches the bottom then try 2 drops at a time 

till you 

achieve overflow 

- wipe away excess oil without withdrawing 

the spindle. Ideally you should spin the spindle slowly as it 
settles into the bearing to ensure distribution of oil.

When you oil the bearing you can get a false impression of 
overflow if the spindle has oil on it - the oil simply scrapes off 
as the bearing goes in and ends up on the top of the bearing
