4. Fine adjustment of the motor
1.)
The
Master Innovation’s
motor adjustment is already pre-set at the factory. However, some small
speed deviations can occur during transportation or due to dirt or dust on the sensor or the sensor
ring. Please check the speed before using the turntable for the rst time.
To correctly adjust the speed, put the recommended Clearaudio
Stroboscope Test Record
onto the
platter and refer to the instructions provided in the
Stroboscope Test Record
user manual.
To check the speed with highest accuracy, you may wish to use the Clearaudio
Speed Light
(Art. No.: AC039, available at www.analogshop.de).
On the right front side of your turntable there are three ne speed adjusters (see Picture 16 below).
- Left adjuster = setting 33 1/3rpm
(near turntable motor)
- Middle adjuster = setting 45rpm
- Right adjuster = setting 78rpm
(near turntable bearing)
Pic. 16: Fine adjustment of the motor
To adjust the turntable speed at 33 1/3 rpm, take the screwdriver provided and turn the left adjuster
until you have reached the right speed according to the
Stroboscope test record
(see the relevant
user manual).
• Turning the adjuster counter clockwise reduces the turntable speed.
• Turning the adjuster clockwise increases the turntable speed.
You can also adjust the turntable speed for 45rpm and 78rpm in the same way.
Please note:
If the turntable does not reach the correct speed, the sensor or the scale ring could be dirty or
dusty. To clean the sensor, take o the two platters very carefully. Clean the sensor and the scale
ring with a little isopropyl alcohol and a cotton bud. Be very careful to avoid scratching the sensor
or the scale ring.
Should the motor still have speed variations, please contact Clearaudio directly or you’re nearest
authorized Clearaudio dealer.
Now you are ready to play your vinyl records.
We wish you a great deal of pleasure with your new
Master Innovation
turntable.

loudspeaker is set too low or on
„mute“.
Check the volume settings.
Is the cartridge protective cap
still attached? Remove the cartridge‘s protective cap.

damaged? Clean the record / or the cartridge. Clearaudio
oers many helpful accessories for care and
cleaning. In the event of damage, we recommend
an assessment by a specialist and, if necessary,
an exchange.

too high? Adjust the tracking force.
Is the correct operating mode
(MM / MC) set on the amplier? Check the settings of your phono stage.

(pre-)amplier to a low volume for acoustic
checking of gross errors.
Metal housing acts as an
antenna and catches hum. It can be helpful for conductivity to connect the
metal parts of the turntable to the ground of
the (phono) preamplier. The turntable provides
a grounding terminal for this purpose. Use a
suciently thick wire to establish the ground
connection.
The pickup pins are mixed up, not
connected correctly or defective. Check the pin assignment of the pickup.
The music doesn‘t
sound like
usual
