2. Mounting the tonearm base and folding base

2.1 Mounting the tonearm base and folding base on a Clearaudio Performance DC or

Ovation turntable

Please check if the correct tonearm base is mounted on your turntable (Pic. 2).

If not, place the turntable on the edge of a table or similar surface,

so you have access to the tonearm base from below. Remove the

previous tonearm base by loosening the six M4 x 35mm screws

with a hex wrench on the bottom side of the clamping ring.

Exchange the tonearm base for the correct one (see pic. 2) and

loosely tighten it so the tonearm base is still rotatable.

Now you can t the folding base and the dedicated height-

adaptor with the screws provided (Pic. 1, #5; page 5), using the

hex wrench #3 (Pic. 1, #3; page 5). Please make sure that the bases sit perfect on the turntable.

To mount the height adaptor with 14.5mm and 10mm you will need the M4 x 40 screws which are

already pre-mounted.

If you don’t need the height adaptor, then use the M4 x 25 screws (Pic. 1, #5; page 5).

The height adaptor will be required depending on the dimensions of the turntable and cartridge.

Our dealer/distributor will help you or contact Clearaudio directly.

Now you can tighten all of the screws (see Pic. 4). Folding base

2.2 Mounting the tonearm base and folding base on a Clearaudio Innovation series

turntable

Please check that the correct tonearm base is mounted on your turntable (Pic. 5).

If the tonearm base is already pre-assembled, it is in a position

which is optimized for the packaging. The position of the tonearm

base will be correct during the adjustment of the tonearm.

If not, then remove previous tonearm base by loosening the screw

of the aluminium base with a 7mm hex wrench.

Exchange the tonearm base for the correct one (see Pic. 5) and

place it so that the long side of the tonearm base points counter-

clockwise. Now you can loosely tighten it so that the tonearm base

is still rotatable.

Next, t the folding base and the dedicated height adaptor with the screws provided (Pic. 1, #5; page

5) and the hex wrench #3 (Pic. 6). Please make sure that the bases sit perfectly on the turntable.

To mount the height adaptor with 14.5mm and 10mm you will need the M4 x 40 screws which are

already pre-mounted. If you don’t need the height adaptor, then use the M4 x 25 screws

(Pic. 1, #5; page 5).

The height adaptor will be required depending on the dimensions of the turntable and cartridge.

Our dealer/distributor will help you or contact Clearaudio directly.

Now you can tighten all the screws (see Pic. 7).

2.3 Mounting the tonearm base and folding base on a other manufacturers’ turntables

In order to mount the tonearm base on the turntable chassis, please rst drill three holes into the

turntable chassis. To ensure the correct position of the three holes, please use the measurements

given in the drawing template below. For this step, use a 3.3mm drill. After you have drilled the

three holes, thread the holes using an appropriate tap cutter. If the material of the turntable chassis

is not suitable for threading, please use a 4.5mm drill for the holes. In this case you will need longer

screws with nuts to t the tonearm base.

Now you can mount the tonearm base on the clean and dry surface of the turntable chassis.

Please note that this image is not true to scale.

of the tonearm carriage.

Turn the height adjustment screw in (clockwise,

when viewed from above) as far as possible.

Remove the height adjustment screw by loosening

with 2.5mm hex wrench (Pic. 10).

Now open the tilt-base so that the rods are

horizontal and place the tonearm on the support

bars until the nut of the adjustment height screw

becomes visible in the height adjustment screw

hole (Pic. 11).

Secure this setting by re-inserting the height

Pic. 13: Adjustment of the angle

Now you can align the tonearm’s horizontal level by

adjusting the angle with the grub screw pictured in

Pic.13, using a hex wrench #2.

Make sure that the bubble of the level gauge

(Pic. 14) is in the correct position.

4. Inserting the headshell tube

For the next step remove all counterweights from the headshell tube.

Slide the tonearm carriage toward the tonearm base.

Through the small hole in the cover plate, you can loosen the headshell tube xing screw with the

1.5mm hex wrench.

Insert the headshell tube into the tonearm carriage, rotating it 90 degrees so that you can position

the positioning pin behind the forward tonearm bar. Then you can rotate the headshell tube back to

its upright position (Pic. 16-18).
