Connect Spindeck to your Amplifier
Spindeck has a captive tonearm signal lead (pg.5, #12) for connection to the amplifier.
Use the Phono input on your amplifier or Spinbase.
The plug with the red band should be attached to the RIGHT channel input jack, and the
plug with the white band is the LEFT channel.
The third individual wire is a GROUND wire. Connect this to the ground screw on
Spinbase or compatible amplifier. If your amplifier does not have a ground screw, slip
it under one of the screws which hold the amplifier chassis together and tighten it
securely. Leaving this wire unattached will result in excessive hum.
Note: The phono input you use must be suitable for use with a magnetic cartridge. Line
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. This will be connected between the Spindeck and a free line level
input of the amplifier.
