Room Placement
As with any sound system, placement in your room will affect how well the
sound fills the space. The Andover-One E features a 270-degree sound field
to provide a spacious, room-enveloping performance that defies its compact
size. Sound is emitted from both sides and the front of the unit, so be careful
not to block the sound from the sides. Although placement of the
Andover-One E is less complex than a typical component system, following
these simple guidelines will result in the most enjoyable sound quality.
•To ensure the most even sound coverage, try to place system near the
center of one of the walls. It should be at, or slightly below, ear height for a
seated listener.
•Using the Andover-One series modular stand will place the system at the
ideal height in most rooms.
•If the unit will be placed in a corner, angle it at 45-degrees so that the
speakers on one side are not blocked.
•Keep the sides of the unit unobstructed by solid objects for as much
distance as practical, but by at least 12” (~30.5 cm).
•Place the unit on a solid table or component rack. DO NOT use soft vibration
isolators or place the unit on a carpet or foam surface. If the support surface
is not sufficiently rigid, acoustic feedback may occur.
•Avoid placing the unit in an enclosed bookshelf or cabinet as this will
significantly compromise its performance.

Turntable Setup Guide
STEP 1 - Remove the Shipping Screws
•Remove the TWO large Philips shipping screws. A Philips screwdriver is included
in the accessory package.
•Save the screws and reinstall them whenever shipping or moving the unit to prevent
damage.
STEP 2 - Install the Drive Belt
•Install the flat drive belt by stretching it around the inner platter and over the “top
step” of the small motor pully to use with 33 or 45RPM records.
•For use with 78RPM records: Install the round drive belt on the large lower pulley
instead.
STEP 3 - Install the Platter
•With two hands, gently place the platter on the spindle, followed by the felt platter
mat.
STEP 4 - Remove the tie wrap which secured the tonearm for shipping.
Cartridge Tracking Force Adjustment
•There is no need to make any adjustments to the tonearm when using the supplied
Ortofon OM5e cartridge. The tonearm is pre-set from the factory. Refer to p.15 if you
install a different cartridge, or need to adjust tracking force.
