Origin Live OL Armboard installation on Technics SL1200 - Manual (Page 2)

The DJ armboard is designed to allow you to mount any Origin Live or Rega tonearm to the 1200 & 1210
range of Technics turntables with astounding results. You will discover that the Technics is a superb deck let
down only by it’s existing tonearm. The armboard not only allows you to fit a true high performance arm but is
itself a great performance enhancer, as it decouples the arm from external vibrations.
Please note that the Origin Live perfprmance platter mat placed on top of the Technics rubber mat also has a
very significant effect on the performance and carries a money back gaurantee if not impressed - see the Origin
Live web site for details under Vinyl accessories.
