PREFACE

Please take time to read this Instruction Manual before unpacking your AVID 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.

INTRODUCTION

Volvere SP and Sequel SP are audio analogue turntables manufactured to extreme limits of
precision, design and detail. There are many unique and novel features in these products and their
design allows you to install the pick-up arm and cartridge of your choice. With correct ancillary
equipment it will take your listening pleasure to new levels of excellence.

Whilst it shares some features found in other turntables, it has been designed without compromise
not trying to emulate or improve existing designs but redefine the whole thinking behind turntable
design. The SP versions now employ state of the art power supplies taking the listening experience
to a whole new level and we hope that you enjoy this turntable for many years!

1. To prevent fire or electric shocks do not expose either the power supply or motor assembly to
rain or moisture.

2. 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.

3. The spindle is manufactured in brass, as softer material than the steel clamp centre. Unless due
care is taken the spindle can be damaged.

4. The Power Supply contains voltages, which can cause serious injury or death as there are no
user serviceable parts and there is no reason to open it. In situations of failure return to an
approved dealer or service agent.
