Gemini Industries TT-002MKII Turntable User Manual


 
WEIGHT (8) will cause the cartridge side of the TONE
ARM (7) to be lowered; turning it clockwise will cause the
opposite. Turn the COUNTERWEIGHT (8) clockwise or
counter clockwise as needed until the TONE ARM (7) is
balanced horizontally. You can easily tell this by watching
for the point where the TONE ARM (7) “floats” freely.
4. Place TONE ARM (7) on ARM REST (11) and lock it in
place with the ARM CLAMP (10).
5. With the TONE ARM (7) locked on the ARM REST (11),
hold the COUNTERWEIGHT (8) steady with one hand
while rotating the STYLUS PRESSURE RING (9) until the
numeral “0” on the ring aligns with the center line on the
TONE ARM (7) rear shaft. The horizontal zero (0) balance
should be completed.
6. Re-float the TONE ARM (7) to ensure horizontal zero
(0) balance. If zero balance has not been maintained,
repeat counterweight steps 3 - 5.
7. After adjusting the horizontal zero (0) balance, turn the
balanced COUNTERWEIGHT (8) counter clockwise until
the cartridge manufacturer’s recommend stylus pressure
appears on the STYLUS PRESSURE RING (9) where it
meets the center line of the TONE ARM (7) rear shaft.
ADJUSTING THE ANTI-SKATING CONTROL:
Set the ANTI-SKATING CONTROL (12) to the same
value as the stylus pressure.
NOTE: IF YOUR TURNTABLE CAME WITH A CN-1000 CARTRIDGE,
IT HAS A RECOMMENDED TRACKING FORCE OF 3.0 GRAMS AND
CAN HAVE RANGE FROM 2.5-3.5 GRAMS.
CONNECTIONS:
1. Plug the AC power plug into an appropriate outlet.
2. See Table A for proper connection of the output RCA
plugs and ground connector. Make sure that all the plugs
are firmly plugged into the appropriate jacks (phono
inputs).
NOTE: TO REDUCE HUM, MAKE SURE THE GROUND LUG IS FIRM-
LY CONNECTED TO THE GROUND SCREW.

ter, the pitch can vary ±10% depending on the position of
