Instructionmanual

For transit purposes the turntable comes unassembled and will need some minor assembly before

use, please follow the instructions below

1. Remove all the items from the packaging and check for damage or wear.

2. Place the base unit on a flat stable surface.

3. Check the rubber drive belt is correctly attached to the motor. To

do this rotate the platter till the motor shaft shows through the

window, if the drive belt is not attached to the motor you will need to

pull the belt away from the inner rim of the platter and wrap around

the motor shaft. See picture on the right.

4. Remove the twist clip which secures the tone arm to the support.

5. Remove the Headshell/Cartridge, counter weight and single adaptor from the packaging. The

headshell can be fitted to the tone arm by pushing the contacts gently into the arm and rotating the

collar clockwise till it stops.

6. The counterweight should be screwed gently onto the tone arm at the opposite end to the

headshell. The counterweight screws on clockwise.

7. Place the single adaptor in the holder at the rear of the turntable by the power switch.

8. You will now need to set the Zero balance point. To do this remove the stylus cap taking care not

to touch the stylus. Release the clip holding the tone arm in position. Now rotate the counterweight

anti-clockwise till the arm balances freely, rotate the black collar (not the counterweight) till the 0

lines up with the line on the arm. This is the zero balance point. Clip the tone arm back in place and

replace the stylus cover. The cartridge supplied with the turntable requires a 3-5g tracking force. A

3g force can be set by rotating the counterweight clockwise one full revolution till the 0 again lines

up with the line on the arm.

9. The anti-skating control should be set at approximately the same value as the tracking force.

10. The turntable lid can now be attached to the base.

11. The USB turntable is ready to use.

The SoundLab G056F turntable is designed to be used as a standard turntable plugged into a mixer or

as a USB turntable attached to a computer running the supplied Audacity software.

CHANGING THE SPEED

As long as the pitch control is in center click position, the turntable is operating at the selected

speed.

The speed can be increased or decreased by +/- 16% by the pitch control.

Incorrect adjustment can cause the turntable to rotate extremely slow or

too

fast.

The strobe dots at the edge of the turntable are used for speed monitoring.

MAINTENANCE

Clean the stylus periodically with a soft brush to prevent the accumulation of dust.

When sound becomes distorted or noisy, check the stylus. If the stylus is worn out, replace with a new

one.

From time to time, the dust cover and turntable cabinet should be wiped down with a soft, dry

record on the adapter.

Turntable Platter

This platter connects directly to the

center spindle.

The platter and center

spindle hold a vinyl record perfectly

center. The platter also spins the record

at a consistent speed.

Strobe Indicators

The PLATTER has two rows of

indicators. These

indicators are used to

visually indicate the various stages

pitch. The indicators are illuminated

by the STROBE INDICATOR LAMP.

Each row may appear to stand still at

different pitch levels.

Note: The use of heavy fluorescent

lighting directly

above the turntable will

obscure the STROBE LAMP and affect

indicator accuracy. The bottom row of

indicators are for 33prm records and

the top for 45rpm.

Center Spindle

This spindle holds the turntable PLATTER

and records

stable and centered.

Strobe Indicators Lamp

This is lamp specially designed to pulse a

beam of

light at the STROBE INDICATORS

on the turntable

PLATTER. This will give the illusion that

indicators

are static when the correct

speed is reached.

power

to the turntable.

Start/Stop Button

engage the high torque motor and spin

the platter, pressing this again will stop

the platter.

Headshell

The included HEADSHELL is used to

connect your

stylus with the tone arm.

Headshell Locking Collar

S-Shaped Tone Arm

The tone arm is the mechanism that holds

the HEAD-

SHELL and stylus allowing it to

glide across a record.

Tone Arm Clamp and Rest

Use this rest to safely hold the tone arm

in position

during non-use and

transportation.

16.

Anti-skate Knob

The anti-skate applies inward force to

the tone

arm to prevent outward

skipping across the record

due to the

centrifugal force cause by platter rotation.

The anti-skate value should be equally

to that of

the stylus counterweight

pressure.

17.

Stylus-Pressure Ring

The counterweight scale must face

toward the headshell.

18.

Counterweight

Use the counterweight to balance the

tone arm and

to adjust the stylus

pressure.

19.

Hinge For Dust Cover

Do not overstress the joints at the risk

of damage.

computer via USB, you can record your

vinyl records to your hard disk using the

Phono/Line Selector

This switch is used to change the mode

from phono

output to line output.

22.

RCA output Leads

The output is able to switch to PHONO

output or

LINE output. For example:

These jacks are used

to send a low

voltage "phono" level output signal

a mixers "phono" input jacks. Turntables

should

be connected to “Phono”inputs

on a mixer. The

red colored RCA jack

represents the right channel

input and
