PREFACE 
 

Please take time to read this Instruction Manual before unpacking your Ingenium Turntable. 
This product is a precision-engineered machine and whilst damage is unlikely with careful handling, the 

sheer mass of some of the parts could lead to damage of less robust parts within its design.  
Some of these parts have been excluded from the warranty.  
             

 

<TAKE CARE AND READ THIS MANUAL> 

 
 

INTRODUCTION 
 

Ingenium is an audio analogue turntable manufactured to extreme limits of precision, design and 
detail. There are many unique and novel features in this product found in our other designs.  
With correct ancillary equipment will take your listening pleasure to new levels of excellence. 

 
We hope that you enjoy this turntable for many years! 

 
 

WARNINGS 
 

1.  To prevent fire or electric shocks do not expose either the motor assembly to rain or moisture. 
2.  The Motor is a sealed component and must under no circumstances be opened or adjusted.  
3.  The Main Bearing contains a Sapphire Cup Jewel and this can be damaged if proper care is not 

taken (see set-up and warranty) and this will affect or stop your turntable working correctly. 

4.  If using the optional clamp you should take care with the threaded spindle. Cross threading or 

incorrect fitting will wear this part out. This part is excluded from the warranty.
