Dear music lover,

thank you for purchasing a Pro-Ject Audio record player.

In order to achieve maximum performance and reliability with this record player you should study these instructions

for use carefully.

Warning of a hazard for the user, the unit or possible misuse.

Important notice.

** Your turntable has been delivered with a factory fitted and adjusted cartridge, please ignore the

cartridge set up instructions unless changing the cartridge at a later date.

During assembly and adjustment of the deck small parts could be lost if not carefully placed in a suitable

receptacle. Before starting assembly make yourself acquainted with the parts listed above and correspondingly

numbered in the technical drawings above. Separately packed items are marked with an asterisk *.

Safety instructions

Make sure that the plug and the switch are easily accessible at all times. Hold the plug when

unplugging the power cord. Never handle the power cord while your hands are wet or damp.

Avoid letting liquids enter the device. Never place any item containing liquid, such as a flower vase

on or near the device. Never spill any liquid on the device. Never place any naked flame sources,

such as lighted candles on or near the device. The product shall not be used in damp or wet locations,

next to a bathtub, sink, swimming pool or any other similar conditions.

Keep plastic bags away from children to prevent any risk of suffocation.

Set-up

The deck is supplied partially disassembled and carefully packaged for safe transport. Carefully remove all

parts from the transport packaging.

Make sure the surface you wish to use the turntable on is level (use a spirit level) before placing the turntable on it.

Remove the transport lock (18) from the tonearm. Store it in the original packaging so it is available for any

future transportation.

Fit the drive belt (3) around the sub-platter (4) and the smaller diameter part of the motor pulley (2). Avoid

getting sweat or grease on the belt as these will deteriorate the performance and reduce the belt's lifespan.

Use absorbent kitchen paper to remove any oil or grease from the outer edge of the hub and the belt. Fit the

platter (5) and felt mat over the spindle of the sub-platter (4).

Cartridge downforce adjustment

The counterweights (6) supplied are suitable for cartridges weighing between 4,5 - 6g (Ortofon OM 10 -

weight no. 80) and 6,5 - 8,5g (Ortofon 2M Red - weight no. 8).

Pushing carefully, turn the counterweight (6) onto the rear end of the tonearm tube (9), so that the downforce

scale (6a) shows towards the front of the player. Lower the armlift and position the cartridge in the space

between arm rest and platter. Carefully rotate the counterweight (6) until the armtube balances out. The arm

should return to the balanced position if it is moved up or down. This adjustment must be done carefully. Do

not forget to remove the cartridge protection cap if fitted.

Once the arm is correctly balanced return it to the rest. Hold the counterweight (6) without moving it, and gently

revolve the downforce scale ring (6a) until the zero is in line with the anti-skating prong (15). Check whether the

arm still balances out.

Rotate the counterweight counter clockwise (seen from the front) to adjust the downforce according to the

cartridge manufacturer's recommendations. One mark on the scale represents 1 mN (= 0,1g / 0,1 Pond) of

downforce.

Please note: Adjust the downforce prior to installing the anti-skating weight.

The recommended downforce for the Ortofon OM 10 cartridge is 15mN.

The recommended downforce for the Ortofon 2M Red cartridge is 17,5mN.

Anti-skating force adjustment

The anti-skating force must be adjusted corresponding to the downforce as follows:

Downforce Groove in the stub (15)

10 - 14mN 1st from bearing rings

15 - 19mN 2nd " " "

20mN and bigger 3rd " " "

Slip the loop of the anti-skating weight's thread over the second groove of the stub to set the correct anti-

skating force for the factory-fitted cartridge. Feed the thread through the loop of the wire support (17).

Input selector

Operating the push button Phono/Line In selects the inputs. Phono represents signal from tonearm of the

turntable. Line In activates Line level input (RCA sockets).

ADC converter / Line level input

A line level signal source (e.g. tape deck or reel deck) can be connected to the built in preamplifier/ADC

using Line In RCA socket. Integrated A/D converter relay the signal to digital data using optical S/PDIF Out

or USB output (details about USB connection in a separate chapter).

Connection to the amplifier (Sound Bar, AV receiver etc.)

Use the analogue Line Out of the turntable to a line input (such as AUX, CD, Tuner, Tape or Video) on your

amplifier.

Alternatively built in ADC converter allows to relay signal in digital format out of the amplifier using S/PDIF

Out digital output to the corresponding digital input of the amplifier or digital input of any Sound Bar, AV-

receiver etc.

Connecting to a computer / USB output

Connect the USB Out of the unit to a free USB-socket on your computer. Make sure the computer is

powered on.

* For Windows®operating systems an USB Class 2 driver (supplied on CD) has to be installed.

Mac OS®operating systems do not need an additional driver or setup.

Linux operating systems include an USB Audio Class 2 driver from Linux Kernel 2.6.35 and higher.

Please note: Connection should be made to an USB-socket of your computer directly. Connecting to

USB-hubs or switches can cause problems.

Recording program is delivered on supplied CD-ROM together with USB driver Vinylstudio Lite (software

from British specialist AlpineSoft)

Sampling rate of USB output is set from computer

Setting the record level

The Record Level knob on the rear panel is used to set the level of the analogue signal going to the A/D

converter. A red clipping LED indicates when the level is too high and the signal is distorted.

Make sure that level is set to keep the LED off all the time.

Change Playback Device:

-If ASIO is used as input device, then playback device can´t run on the same driver.

i.e.: if Pro-Ject USB audio driver shows more connected devices (on the screenshot below is

Device 0 –Reccordmaster, Device 1 Maia DS) Then the second device can´t be selected as

a playback device for Monitor Recording.

Do not use Monitor Recording, if playback device is recordmaster to avoid mixing signals in

optical output

Monitor Recording can be used for any other playback device available in Playback To list

(except the case of ASIO described above):

In case of no sound of Monitor Recording try to restart playback USB device. (Do not reconnect USB

cable when units are powered on).

DSD records playback:

- AIFF, FLAC, WAV format:

These DSD files with DSD data and DoP markers are possible to play on DACs with ASIO

DoP Marker 0x05/0xFA support

- DFF, DSF format:

These files don´t contain DoP markers (Native DSD format), playback is possible with

suitable DAC´s with ASIO Native DSD support and also with DAC´s with ASIO DoP

Marker 0x05/0xFA support if playback software allows this (e.g.: J-River or Foobar2000

with plugin foo_dsd_asio)

Setting of a recording device in Windows 7/8/10:

Start > Control Panel > Sound > Recording
