Thanks for selecting Spindeck MAX! Your Spindeck MAX has been painstakingly designed to treat your valuable records with great care and provide exceptional sound quality with the ultimate convenience of fully automatic operation. Spindeck has been custom crafted for us in Germany by one of the most respected manufacturers of high-fidelity turntables with over 60 years of experience.
Operating controls Cueing lever Armrest latch Speed selector Function selector Cueing Lever - Use to gently raise and lower the tonearm manually. Armrest Latch - Make certain this latch is released before using. Snap the latch closed whenever the turntable must be moved for any reason. We also recommend keeping the latch closed whenever the Spinbase MAX is not being used to prevent the arm from accidentally being knocked off the armrest.
To Set-up your Spindeck MAX 1. Remove the two transportation locks (Fig. 1) by applying lateral pressure. The locks are located on the floating subchassis at the front left and at the rear right. IMPORTANT: Please retain these locks and reinstall them whenever your Spindeck MAX requires shipment. 2. Place the platter over the center spindle and press down until the two wire springs snap into the groove of the spindle. Place the felt mat on the platter.
Connect Spindeck MAX to your Audio System Spindeck MAX requires a phono input suitable for use with a magnetic cartridge. Linelevel inputs (such as Aux, CD, Tuner, Tape or Video) are not suitable. If your amplifier does not have a suitable Phono input you will need a separate phono preamplifier stage for magnetic cartridges connected between the Spindeck MAX and a free line level input of the amplifier. Contact your dealer or support@andoveraudio.com if you need help choosing an appropriate preamplifier.
Useful Tips Spindeck MAX should be positioned on a low-resonance surface such as wood, MDF, or multiple layer plywood board to avoid structural vibrations disturbing replay. The Andover Spinbase products have been specifially designed to provide a stable, solid support that perfectly compliments Spindeck MAX. Turntables and vinyl LP’s require a gentle touch to maximize performance and longevity. Following these guidelines will result in years of noise-free, reliable performance.
