Placement: By their nature, turntables are sensitive devices. They are designed to retrieve the smallest vibrations and convert them to sound. Unfortunately this means that they are also very good at picking up vibrations you don’t want to hear, such as the footsteps of someone walking past the turntable. Most turntable manufacturers attempt to minimise this problem—the Ingenium P&P uses a combination of its high mass along with its compliant feet to create an effective isolation system.
Setting-up: Prepare the area where you plan to locate the turntable—make sure you have plenty of space around it to give you easy access. We recommend the following sequence to assemble your Ingenium P&P turntable. Position the chassis The main chassis comes ready-assembled, with its feet, arm and cartridge in place.
The Motor The motor needs to be located to the rear of the chassis. The centre of the motor spindle should be approximately 97mm (3 ¾”) away from the centre of the hub assembly. Take the drive belt, and place it around the hub, and then stretch it over the motor pulley.
Counterweight The Ingenium comes with a cartridge already installed. Before playing any records, you must attach the counterweight; this ensures the cartridge is played at the correct tracking weight. Using a twisting action, gently push the counterweight onto the rear of the tonearm until it reaches the stop, and cannot be pushed further—the tracking weight is now correctly set.
TROUBLESHOOTING The Ingenium P&P is intentionally a straight-forward turntable, making set-up and use very simple. Occasionally though, you may come across a problem, if so, please read the following to help find a solution Fault Solution Turntable platter not Check that the mains plug is correctly fitted and switched ‘on’, and that the rotating in-line mains switch is also ‘on’.
