4. Fine adjustment of the Innovation motor
1.)
The motor adjustment is already pre set at the factory. Through the transport or through
soiling on the sensor or the sensor ring some small speed deviations can occur. Please check
the speed before using the turntable for the first time.
For the correct adjustment of the speed please put the recommended Clearaudio
Stroboscope Testrecord on the platter. Follow hereby the instruction of the Stroboscope
Testrecord user manual. To check the speed with highest accuracy please use the
Clearaudio Speed Light (AC039) ( www.analogshop.de ).
On the front side of your turntable there are three setting trimmers (see pic. 13).
-
left trimmer = setting 33 1/3 rpm
(near turntable motor)
-
middle trimmer = setting 45 rpm
-
right trimmer = setting 78 rpm
(near turntable bearing)
If you like to adjust the speed 33 1/3 rpm , take the aluminium screw driver (see
accessories) and turn the left trimmer until you have reached the right speed according to
the Stroboscope Testrecord (see user manual “Stroboscope Testrecord”).
-
Turning the trimmer counter clockwise = reduces the turntable speed
-
Turning the trimmer clockwise = raises the turntable speed
Please proceed with the speed adjustment for 45 rpm and 78 rpm in the same way!
Please note:
If the turntable does not reach the correct speed, the sensor or the scale ring could be dirty
or dusty.
To clean the sensor, please take off the two platters very carefully !
Clean the sensor and the scale ring with a little isopropyl alcohol and a cotton bud.
Be careful and avoid any scratches on the sensor or the scale ring!
If the motor has further more speed variations please contact your nearest authorized
Clearaudio dealer or directly the Clearaudio factory.
Now you are finally ready to play your vinyl records.
We wish you a lot of pleasure with your new Innovation -turntable.
