  • Page 5: Preface

    With correct ancillary equipment it will take your listening pleasure to new levels of excellence. The Acutus has two main components, that being the turntable itself, made up of 6 parts and the external power supply. Whilst it shares some features found in other turntables, it has been designed without compromise not trying to emulate or improve existing designs but redefine the whole thinking behind turntable design.

  • Page 6: Set-Up Instructions

    Set Up Instructions The supplied packaging is vital for protection and shipping. It should be retained as replacement packaging is expensive. The packaging is layered with each part having a suitable compartment. Make sure it is fitted correctly to avoid damage. Unboxing and Set Up videos are available to view on our website or Scan the quick link on the front page.
  • Page 7 All our suspended turntables offer the opportunity to set up the arm/ cartridge off the suspension. This gives more stability and accuracy. Place the subchassis on a suitable surface and install the pick up arm and cartridge if not already fitted. CLEAN THE TOP OF THE SPINDLE WITH CLEAN TISSUE PAPER Place the clean bearing ball into the top of the spindle.
  • Page 8 Insert the motor into the designated cut-out in the main chassis, ensuring that the lower rubber O-ring on the motor aligns with the groove on the side of the chassis. You can adjust the motor foot to achieve the appropriate height. After positioning the motor in place, secure it to the main chassis using the rubber O-Ring provided.
  • Page 9 It is essential to have clean hands when handling the drive belts, and also recommended that you clean the platter drive hub and motor drive pulley before installing the belts. Using isopropyl alcohol cleaner is suitable for this purpose. Carefully stretch each of the two belts over the hub and onto the fitting pin one at a time, ensuring that they aren't twisted together.
  • Page 10 Now fit the lateral suspension O-rings to each suspension tower. Stretch the O-ring so it fits between the platter and the subchassis post, making sure its correctly fitted into the location groove and not caught between the post and platter wall. Stretch over the two main chassis posts.

  • Page 11: Power Supply

    Power Supply Connecting and Switching On Power The Classic PSU on/off switch is located on the chassis underside, centrally just behind the front panel. The Mains input socket is an IEC type socket on the rear panel and you should use the cable provided or a suitable alternative. We do not recommend using mains conditioners or filters and suggest plugging directly into the mains supply.
