3. POWER SUPPLY

If you move after purchasing the turntable to an area using different mains voltage, consult your local
GOLDMUND dealer to exchange your power supply unit. Every power supply can operate indifferently with 50
or 60 Hz mains.
To avoid any hum or vibration disturbance, put the power supply in a mains socket as far apart as possible
from the turntable itself. Allow some clearance for air circulation around the power supply, as this unit, in
normal use, generate some heat.
4. TURNTABLE LOCATION

GOLDMUND ST4 turntable is less critical than any other design in placement selection. Feedback is mostly
so low that no special precaution is required. Nevertheless, position the table as far as you can of the
speakers if you want to totally avoid the air coupling between the speakers and the table.
If you need to return the table to the factory or to your local representative for a warranty repair,
Select a position of the furniture where the table is set to have the most rigid possible position on the floor.
Solid coupling is essential, and if your support is standing on a suspended floor, optimal result requires that
you arrange the support to have at least one foot over a supporting beam or close enough from a supporting
wall.
