5. Balancing the Tonearm and Setting Tracking Force
- Entfernen Sie den Stiftschutz.
- Unlock the tonearm, lift the cueing lever, and position the tonearm over the platter.
- Hold the headshell and gently lower the cueing lever completely. Do not let the stylus touch the platter.
- Turn the counterweight until the tonearm is balanced and floats horizontally when released.
- Move only the counterweight indicator ring to zero (without turning the entire counterweight).
- Rotate the entire counterweight until the ring is set to the recommended tracking force for the Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge, which is 1.8 Gramm.
- Adjust the anti-skating dial to the same number as the tracking force (1.8).
6. Montage der Staubschutzhaube
Attach the hinges to the dust cover, then carefully install the dust cover onto the turntable.
7. Verbindung zu einem Amplifier/Empfänger
The Fluance RT85 does not have a built-in phono preamp. You will need an external phono preamp oder ein amplifier/receiver with a dedicated phono input.
- Connect the RCA cables from the turntable's audio output to the phono input on your receiver/preamp.
- Connect the ground wire from the turntable to the grounding post on your receiver/preamp to minimize hum.
