Audio Note TT-2 Setup - Manual

Dear Customer,
Thank you for purchasing the Audio Note TT-2 turntable. A few minutes
reading these instructions will ensure maximum enjoyment and ease of
use.
1. Carefully unpack all parts and remove polythene bags etc.
2. Place turntable on a level flat surface free from vibration. A wall
mounted shelf or preferably an equipment stand would be ideal for this
purpose.
3. Remove transit screws to release the sprung sub-chassis. Remove the
armboard fastening bolts with the 3mm allen key provided. This will allow
easy installation of the chosen tonearm and cartridge. Install the tonearm
parallel with the edge of the armboard (although only an aesthetic
requirement) and in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions. Refit the armboard and tonearm to the turntable and replace
fastening bolts without fully tightening them. At this stage the drive belts
should be fitted around the small drive pulleys and acrylic drive hub. Fit
the first belt to the pulley furthest away from the front of the deck in the
LOWER position, fitting the second belt carefully above the first one. Note
that the belts will align themselves upon startup of the deck, so only an
approximate position on the hub is necessary, but in general aim for both
the belts to be slightly above the middle of the running edge of the drive
hub. Finally place the platter onto the top of the hub. Notice the two
grooves in the drive pulleys. The top groove is for 33rpm and the bottom
for 45rpm playback. USE THE SAME GROOVE FOR BOTH MOTOR
PULLEYS.
4. With the tonearm and platter in place the sprung sub-chassis can be
properly levelled. Making sure that the turntable plynth is level, adjust the
three chassis adjustment screws with the 4mm allen key provided. The
bottom edge of the platter should be 5mm above the plynth. Turn the
screws clockwise to raise the suspension and anti-clockwise to lower it.
At this stage affix the tonearm cable into the white clip at the back fo the
plynth, making sure the suspension can move freely up and down, then
tighten the armboard bolts. The final tonearm and cartridge alignment
adjustments can now be made.
5. Some tonearms have a separate earth lead which can be attached to
the earthing post. Other tonearms do not require this.
6. Do not remove the drive hub from the bearing assembly as a quantity of
oil and ball bearing have been fitted from the factory. A small syringe of oil
has been supplied in case of loss or spillage, of which only 2-3 drops are
required.
7. The attractive grey paint finish is extremely hardwearing and stable. To
keep up its visual appeal it should be dusted carefully with a clean, soft
paintbrush as required. For more stubborn marks or stains, a degreasing
fluid approved for painted surfaces on a sponge can be used.
Thank you for taking a few minutes to read these
simple instructions and we wish you hours
of enjoyment and happy listening.
