4. Kugadziriswa kweAnti-Skate

Attach the anti-skate weight to the small loop on the tonearm and hang it over the second groove of the anti-skate support rod. This helps prevent the stylus from skipping inwards.

5. Connecting to Audio System

The TT MK2 features a built-in phono pre-amplifier, allowing direct connection to powered speakers or an amplifier's line-level input. If your amplifier has a dedicated "Phono" input, you can bypass the internal pre-amp.

1. Connect the supplied RCA cable from the "RCA OUT" jacks on the rear of the turntable to the corresponding input on your amplifier or powered speakers (e.g., "AUX", "LINE IN").
2. Locate the "RIAA" switch on the rear of the turntable.
   • Set the switch to "ON" if connecting to a line-level input (e.g., AUX, CD) on your amplifier or directly to powered speakers. This activates the internal phono pre-amplifier.
   • Set the switch to "OFF" if connecting to a dedicated "Phono" input on your amplifier. This bypasses the internal phono pre-amplifier, as your amplifier will provide the necessary RIAA equalization.
