How
to
Connect
your
Turntable
Spinbase can be used with many different types
of
Turntables or Record players.
The term Record Player describes
an
all-in-one device containing speakers. A
Turntable is a component which requires connection
to
a speaker
or
amplifier.
How you connect
it
to
Spinbase depends on the Turntable or Record Player type
you have.
1 .
Component
Turntable
with
Magnetic Cartridge
This is the
most
common
type
of
turntable typically used with Spinbase.
Connect the Left and Right Phono Plugs
to
the pair
of
input jacks labeled
"Magnetic Phono".
If
your turntable is equipped with a
GROUND
wire, attach
it
to
the ground
screw on Spinbase.
If
this is
not
securely attached, you may hear excessive
hum
from
the speakers.
Place the Ceramic Cartridge switch in the "OFF" position.
2.
Component
Turntable
with
Magnetic
Cartridge
and
built-in
preamplifier.
These are also quite common, and you have
two
options for connection.
If
your turntable does
not
have a switch
to
defeat the built-in preamp, connect
the turntable's
output
to
the LINE-IN
jacks
on Spinbase.
If
your Turntable has a switch that allows you
to
bypass its built-in preamplifi-
er,
place the switch
in
the bypass mode and connect it as in example 1 above.
Depending on the quality
of
your Turntable's built-in preamplifier, you may
want
to
try both options and use whichever sounds best
to
you.
Place
the
Ceramic Cartridge switch in the "OFF" position.
3.
All-in-one
Record
Player
Spinbase can also dramatically improve the sound
of
most
all-in-one Record
Players that already contain built-in speakers.
Connect the output
of
your Record Player
to
the LINE-IN jacks on Spinbase.
If
your Record Player is equipped with a Ceramic Cartridge (Most common
for
this type
of
product), place the Ceramic Cartridge
EQ
switch in the
ON
posi-
tion.
If
your Record Player has a Magnetic Cartridge (not common), leave the
Ce-
ramic
EQ
switch in the
OFF
position.
