Goldring GR1 Setup And Installation

Your Goldring turntable has been designed to effectively reproduce music whilst being easy to use. We have omitted all the
usual gimmicks; concentrating the manufacturing costs on the high quality components and design necessary to reproduce
records accurately. For example, using a manual speed change, rather than an automatic mechanism, eliminates speed
inconsistencies and possible damage to the drive belt (for the odd occasion you may want to play a 45 RPM record).
The money we save with this method is spent on an expensive low vibration motor which would normally be used on a turntable
costing two or three times the amount. Goldring's simplistic design, together with the use of extremely high quality components
ensures that your turntable will last for many years. The tips we give may help increase the longevity of your GR1 and give
you maximum musical enjoyment.

UNPACKING

After removing the turntable from its carton,
remove the outer platter and the cardboard
spacer from underneath the sub-platter.
Replace the outer platter and felt mat.
Remove balance weight from packing.

GETTING STARTED

Please follow these three steps to ensure
optimum performance from your turntable.

1. Tracking Weight Adjustment

Push the balance weight on to the rear of
the arm. Carefully remove the stylus guard.
The bias adjustment slider is positioned
under the arm, set this to zero. Lower the
arm lift lever down and carefully hold the
arm over a record. Turn the balance weight
along its shaft until the arm balances 1mm
above a record. Return the arm to its rest
position and rotate the balance weight one
full turn towards the front of the arm.

2. Bias Adjustment

Set the bias adjustment slider to 2.

3. Connections

Connect the red and grey phono plugs to
the phono input of your amplifier and
connect to the mains supply. The turntable
is now ready for use.

FITTING AN ALTERNATIVE CARTRIDGE

The Goldring GR1 is supplied fitted with a Goldring Elektra cartridge. To fit
an alternative cartridge follow the manufacturer's instructions and then check
the cartridge is correctly aligned by using the supplied protractor. Follow the
above instructions but rotate the balance weight one half turn for each one
gram tracking force, for example for a force of 1
turns towards the front of the arm. Set the tracking force to the upper limit
recommended by the manufacturer. Set the bias adjustment to same value as
the tracking force.
