Origin live ENCOUNTER Manuals

INTRODUCTION Thank you for ordering an Origin Live arm. We trust you will enjoy getting closer to the original sound and appreciating your music in a new way. Please give special attention to underlined text in these instructions. Notes: a) It may seem there is “play” in the bearings - this is a design feature. The dual pivot bearings for vertical movement allow for a great deal of arm movement but always re-centre themselves. The conventional bearings for horizontal arm swing are very high grade. However they are “floated” inside the vertical bearing house to allow slight movement rather than rigidly coupling it to the structure. Again these bearings are self centering so you need not be concerned about apparent movement. b) You should handle the arm in exactly the same way as a conventional gimballed arm. c) The sound of new arms and rewires will improve significantly over the first 40 to 100 hours of running time as wires burn in. Mounting Requirements Arm mounting varies depending on the make of your turntable. This section caters for various scenarios. Geometry & dimensions You do not need a mounting template. For standard Origin Live arms with effective length of 9.5 inch (240mm) The arm mounting hole diameter should be 23mm to 24.5 mm. Centre of mounting hole to centre of platter should be 222mm (plus or minus 1mm tolerance).
