3. Installation and set up

The set up and installation of the

Emotion SE

is done quickly and very easy.

Please use the white gloves during this procedure, to avoid scratches.

1.)

You should consider a safe and clean working area for the installation, as near as possible to

the final position of the

Emotion SE

-turntable.

First take out the motor and tonearm of the packing. Now you should take out the first

packing layer. After that you can take out the

Emotion SE

- turntable chassis from the next

packing layer. Place the turntable body on a clean underlay.

To avoid any damages to your bearing, the turntable platter should achieve room

temperature before the set up begin (approx. 20 ° Celsius).

2.)

Take the upper bearing part and place it on the lower bearing part, which is already

integrated in the chassis (picture 2).

3.)

Place the platter with both hands carefully onto the bearing.

Through a lightly (!!) up and down movement the platter will slip onto the bearing upper part

(picture 3).

Avoid major side force to prevent any damages to the ceramic bearing!

Make sure with gentle pressure that the platter is applying on the complete surface of the

bearing.

4.) Alignment of the turntable

The following adjustment is very important!

Place the Clearaudio level gauge on the platter (see pic. 4) and bring the

turntable in level by turning the corresponding feet in the right direction.

The turntable is in level, when the air bubble in the level gauge is in the center.

Adjust the height of the turntable by turning the feet counter wise with the delivered allen

key (shown in picture 5).

Only if the turntable is proper aligned you will receive the best possible sound.

The following instructions are for Emotion SE packages.

If you use a tonearm and / or cartridge from different manufacturer please follow the

instruction manual of the particular manufacturer.

3.1. Tonearm set – up

1.)

Take the

Satisfy Carbon

-tonearm and slide first the signal cable and then the tonearm shaft

into the hole of the tonearm base at the right upper corner of

the

Emotion SE

- turntable chassis. Please ensure that the

tonearm tube is parallel to the side edge of the chassis

turntable.

Tighten the tonearm only slightly with the provided allen

wrench and screws.

Before you finish the tonearm-set up, please proceed with the

cartridge set-up.

The correct height adjustment that is going to be used for the tonearm is depending on the

cartridge you install.

2.)

For the next steps, please mount your cartridge on your tonearm (optional as a package:

Clearaudio

Satisfy Carbon

tonearm) . Please leave the stylus protector on the cartridge.

Use the manufacturer’s instruction manual during this installation procedure and follow the

appropriate instructions.

The headshell wires (cartridge connection leads) are colour coded according to the

international standard :

Please pay attention on every step to avoid any damages to the cartridge!

Now adjust the tracking force of the cartridge.

Please follow the instructions according the manual of the cartridge you use.

If you are using a Clearaudio Moving Magnet cartridge you can adjust the tracking force or

the wiring of the tonearm (about 20 mN), by turning the tonearm`s counter weight on the

threaded bolt (backside view of the tonearm).

Colour code of the Satisfy Carbon tonearm wire:

Signal left channel (L+) white

Signal ground left channel (L -) blue

Signal right channel (R+) red

Signal ground right channel (R -) green

3.)

For a more comfortable adjustment, please take the delivered “Smart Stylus gauge” (only in

the Emotion SE package with tonearm and cartridge) and adjust the tracking force by using

the gauge.

Please place the Smart Stylus gauge on the platter and put the cartridge on the fine line

which is marked with the recommend tracking force for your cartridge (e.g. Clearaudio MM

cartridge 20 mN (2.0 gram)).

If you would like even more professional set up tools, you can also use other tools like the

Clearaudio

Weight Watcher

gauge (Art. No. AC094).

For more information on that, please contact your specialist dealer or directly Clearaudio

www.analogshop.de.

For contact address see page 14.



This position of the diamond correlates to a

tracking force of 20 mN (2.0g).

The tracking force is set, when the Smart

Stylus gauge is parallel to the surface of the

platter.

In this position the tracking force is too high.

You can correct the adjustment with your

tonearm weight.

In this position the tracking force is to low.

You can correct the adjustment with your

tonearm weight.
