2 CHOICE OF YOUR TURNTABLE LOCATION

Due to the total weight of your turntable (300kg), please choose the definitive location of
your turntable in order to install it on site.

Locate the player on a support providing the most rigid possible connection to the floor.
Solid coupling is essential, and if your support is standing on a suspended floor, at least
one foot should be located over a supporting beam or close to a supporting wall for an
optimal result.
