4. Assembly and operation

After checking that the package contents are as described (see page 4), place the parts on a

clean and flat surface in preparation for set-up. Assembly and set-up of the TT1 are quite

straightforward, as most parts have been factory preassembled.

Please use the white gloves provided to avoid scratches and/or fingerprints during assembly.

First, install the two tonearm mounting bases (see page 4 package content No. 3) onto the

Statement turntable. Please note, you may need to remove the existing cylinders first.

Please use only the round tonearm mounting bases provided as they are specifically height-

matched for the TT1 tonearm.

Do not tighten the base mounting bolts (see page 4 package content No. 8), you should be

still able to turn the bases.

Now place the tonearm mounting base installation gauge (see picture 5 No. 4) on top of the

two mounting bases (see picture 5 No. 3). Rotate the mounting bases until all four pins on

the bottom of the installation gauge fit into the threads machined into the mounting bases.

While holding the installation gauge in place tighten the two bolts with the hex key (allen

key) (page 4, package content 5) provided.

Attention: Any misalignment at this stage will lead to later problems in positioning the

TT1 tonearm.
