Congratulations on choosing your Origin Live external DC
motor kit. You can now look forward to hearing dramatic
performance improvements in your system.
To achieve the full level of performance it is critical that this
instruction manual is followed and read fully.
Installing the motor will be relatively easy for some and
more challenging for others. If at first things appear difficult,
give yourself time to think clearly and you will invariably
find ways of accomplishing the objective. Most of the
installation demands little expertise – if you think anything
is beyond your capability then you can either ask a friendly
dealer to do the job for a small fee or get a friend to do it.
These instructions are written to cater for those new to
turntables and those very familiar with them. Some sections
may therefore appear lengthy, as they need to cater for all
potential questions and levels of expertise. When reading the
instructions refer to the various diagrams for part names and
clarity.
The motor kit can take approx 30 minutes to install
depending on your expertise. The DC regulator electronics
will initially encounter speed drift when first started (if they
have not been run in) and so may need at least 4 hours to
run in before the speed can be finally set with accuracy.
We wish you an enjoyable time not only in setting up but
most of all in the end result.

Unplug the deck from the mains supply for obvious safety reasons
and before doing any work allow capacitors to discharge for 45
minutes – especially on the Linn which can give a dangerous
discharge from it’s Valhulla board. Do not remove a base board
cover within this period as there is danger of lethal electric shock. You MUST also remove the mains plug at this stage to avoid
any possibility of someone plugging it in at a later stage. You
will not need the old power supply any more, so it can either be
detached entirely or simply left in place for quick reversal of this
modification.
