Preface
Please take time to read this Instruction Manual before unpacking your Volvere Turntable.
This product is meticulously engineered and whilst damage is unlikely with careful handling, the sheer mass of some of
the parts could damage the less robust parts within its design. Please keep in mind that certain parts have been
deliberately excluded from the warranty, so it is essential to handle and operate the turntable with care and attention.
Introduction
The Volvere is an audio turntable manufactured to extreme limits of precision, design and detail. There are many unique
and novel features in this product and its 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.
We hope that you enjoy this product for many years!
Warnings
1. To prevent fire or electric shocks do not expose either the power supply or motor to rain or moisture
2. The Main Bearing contains a Sapphire Cup Jewel and can be damaged if proper care is not taken, such as moving
the turntable or dropping the platter when fitting and this part is excluded from warranty
3. The threaded spindle is made from brass for sonic reasons and is a much softer than the stainless steel clamp.
If cross threaded whilst fitting the thread will eventually wear out. Some owners have never had occasion to
replace this part after decades of use and others damage it quickly. For this reason it is excluded from warranty.
4. The platter surface (mat) is a specially cork/rubber composite, optimised to reduce vibration within the record and
is bonded to the platter. You should not try to remove it, or fit another mat over the top as this will stop the
clamp/bearing for working effectively.
5. The Power Supply contains voltages which can cause serious injury. There are no user serviceable parts inside and
no reason to open it. In situations of failure, return to your dealer or contact AVID directly. There are calibrated
components inside and altering any settings will reduce performance and void the warranty.
6. The motor is a precision mechanism and must under no circumstances be opened or adjusted. If you experience
what you believe to be a problem, consult your dealer or AVID directly.
Packaging
The packaging is very expensive to replace, so save all the packing in a dry place away from fire hazard.
The AVID Turntable is a precision instrument and the packaging has been especially designed so that all component parts
are safe during transportation. If you should need to return your unit for upgrade, service or repair, you will be required
to use its original packaging to keep it from damage. In the event of the packing being lost or damaged further packing
can be provided at cost.
Do not transport the turntable assembled. This will cause damage and void the warranty.
Parts Check List
The packing is designed to eliminate parts being missed, however if something is found amiss please contact your dealer.
