4. Preparation of the Statement turntable
After checking the package contents as described on page 4, place the parts on a clean and at
surface in preparation for set-up.
Assembly and set-up of the TT1 are quite straightforward, as most parts have been factory pre-
assembled.
Please use the white gloves provided to avoid introducing scratches and/or ngerprints during
assembly.
First, position the two round bases (see page 4, package content No. 9) onto the turntable.
Please note, you may need to remove the previous discs/cylinders or tonearm bases rst.
Please use only the round bases provided, as they are specically height-matched for the
TT1
tonearm.
Pic. 5: Installing the stainless steel tonearm round bases on the Statement turntable
Do not tighten the base mounting bolts (see page 4 package content No. 4), you should be still able
to turn the bases.

Now place the aligning gauge on top of the two round bases (see picture 6).
Rotate the round bases until all four pins on the bottom of the alignment gauge t into the threads
machined into the bases.
Pic. 6: Placing the alignment gauge
Pic. 7: Tightening the mounting bolts
While holding the alignment gauge in this position, tighten the two bolts with the hex wrench
provided (Pic. 7).
Attention:
Any misalignment at this stage will cause problems when positioning the TT1 tonearm
After the round bases have been xed, the alignment gauge can be removed.

5. Mounting the TT1 tonearm on the Statement turntable
To avoid any damage on the tonearm or turntable, we recommend that two people do the assembly.
Place the tonearm chassis on top of the two
round bases. Lift it carefully, making sure that
the sliding tonearm bridge is positioned to the
rear of both sliding bases as shown in picture 8.
While holding it in place, insert the four socket
head mounting screws provided into the
threaded holes in the tonearm mounting bases
and tighten them.
Please note: Always hold the tonearm in place
while xing the four bolts.
Check the ease of movement of the tonearm
again by moving it back and forth several times.
Please note: You may need to readjust the
levelling of the Statement turntable once you
have fully completed setup of the
TT1 tonearm.

6. Mounting the armwand
Please take great care in undertaking the following steps.
Remove the rubber band which is used as transportation lock.
Afterwards loosen the screws from the aluminum block and remove the second transportation lock.
Move the tonearm to the playback position and press the cable into the holders provided on the
back of the tonearm. Make sure that the cable has enough latitude when the tonearm is moved
back and forth.
Guide the tonearm tube between the track and the eccentric shaft (green arrow, Fig. 12).
Now you can mount the armwand on the carriage using the aluminum clamping block and the two
screws. Ground the tonearm using the screw as seen in picture 12.
We recommend tightening the screws of the aluminum block only slightly, as the armwand needs to
be movable for the subsequent adjustments.

8. Pre-setting the tracking force
To make the adjustment, rst remove the stylus protector.
Please handle all equipment with care to avoid any damage.
Use one of the supplied weights to roughly adjust the tracking force by placing the counterweight
onto the back of the headshell tube (Pic. 15).
The choice of counterweight depends on the weight of the cartridge.
Please only pre-adjust the tracking force of the cartridge.
The correct setting will be made at the end of the tonearm settings.
Use the #1.5 hex wrench to tighten the counterweight xing screws.
To check the tracking force, we recommend the Clearaudio “Weight Watcher touch” digital cartridge
weight (Art. No. AC163, also available at www.analogshop.de).

9. Fine adjustment of the tonearm
9.1 Adjustment of the tangential alignment
Use the lift to lower the stylus at the left hand end of the Clearaudio linear gauge, moving the
gauge so that the diamond sits exactly on the reference line (see Pic. 16a).
Lift the cartridge up again and then position it at the right hand end of the gauge (Pic. 16b).
Never move the cartidge in the alignment gauge while it is lowered.
If the needle is not parallel to the reference line, correct the position of the armwand, x it slightly
and check your result again.
Repeat this process until the needle tip is perfectly in all positions in the reference line the setting
template is seated.
Finally, hand-tighten the screws on the terminal block to x your result.

Pic. 17: Adjustment of the VTA
9.2 Adjustment of the VTA (tonearm height)
The included Clearaudio linear gauge is suitable for adjusting the tonearm height, as it corresponds
to the thickness of a record.
Place the Clearaudio linear gauge through the existing hole on the spindle of the turntable and
align it parallel to the tonearm.
Move the tonearm forward to the playback position and check the tonearm height by placing the
Mini Level Gauge on the headshell of the pickup.
Place it carefully(!) in the center on the top of the headshell of the raised cartridge and lower the
cartridge onto the linear gauge using the lift.
To correct this, turn the two wheels of the precision VTA adjustment on the top of the tonearm until
the bubble of the Mini Level Gauge on the headshell is level.
Leave the mini level gauge on the headshell and the linear gauge on the platter, as it is also required
for the further settings.

User manual
Made in Germany Page 17
9.3 Adjustment of the azimuth (Vertical position of the cartridge)
Please be extremely careful during the following step!
Please lift the cartridge up!
Use the Mini Level Gauge provided for the
following azimuth setting.
Lower the cartridge onto the linear gauge and
check the azimuth with the air bubble on the
Mini Level Gauge.
With the cartridge raised, adjust the headshell in
the appropriate direction to achieve the desired
orientation.
It may be necessary to loosen the locking screw
for the headshell tube on the cart.
Fix the screw after completing the setting and
remove the Mini Level Gauge from the headshell.
Set the correct tracking force of your cartridge
according to the manufacturer‘s instructions.
For the correct setting we recommend the digital
cartridge weight „Weight Watcher touch“ from
Clearaudio (item: AC163; also available from:
www.analogshop.de).
Pic. 19: Adjustment of the azimuth
Pic. 20: Placing the Mini Level Gauge
For perfect sound, we recommend checking the tracking force, azimuth and VTA settings again and
correcting them if necessary.
The Clearaudio Statement TT1 tonearm is now completely adjusted and ready to play.
