MODEL SA-IOM PORTABLE SOLO-PHONE '"
SYSTEM
The Shure Portable Solo-Phone System is a combination
of a four-speed manual turntable and a stereo amplifier
specifically designed for high fidelity listening with head-
phones. The turntable and amplifier are enclosed in an
attractively styled, vinyl-covered wooden carrying case.
Features of this four speed manual turntable:
e Plays records of 7," 10,"and 12" diameter.
e When stylus reaches tripping groove, tone arm returns
to rest and turntable automatically shuts off.
The control knob on the turntable also turns the amplifier
"On" and
"Off."
Two stereo headphone jacks are provided on the panel,
permitting two sets of stereo headphones to be used at
the same time.

INSTALLATION
To prepare the SA-1OM Solo-PhoneSystem for high fidelity
enjoyment, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the plastic bag (from packaging insert)
containing line cord, counter-balance weight, spindle,
and 45 r.p.m. adapter.
2. Carefully remove the cardboard packaging insert
by pulling (gently) straight up. Also, slowly remove
the two cardboard strips wedged between turntable
base and its mounting board.
3. Remove rubber band holding stylus guard to the
cartridge. Do not remove stylus guard until ready
to play records. Save stylus guard for future use
when carrying or traveling with the Portable Solo-
Phone System.
4. Remove plastic tie holding the pickup arm to other
transit screw.
5. Open plastic bag (See Item 1) and remove counter
balance and attached mounting screw. Install counter
balance on rear of the pickup arm.
6. Remove spindle and 45 r.p.m. adapter from plastic
bag and insert into retaining clips at rear of the
turntable.
7. Turn the transit screws fully clockwise until the
turntable base is riding freely on the suspension
springs.
8. Unwind line cord. Save black plastic cable holder
for future use in retaining and storing cable during
transit.
OPERATION
1. Plug the headphones into the jacks on the panel.
The volume control is a two-part control, allowing
separate adjustment of each stereo channel to achieve
proper balance between channels. Either channel
may be adjusted by holding firmly one part of the
control and turning the other part of the control to
desired volume for that channel. After each chan-
nel has been adjusted, simple overall volume changes
can be made by turning either part
of the dual
control.
2. Connect the Portable Solo-Phone System power
line cord to a 120 volt
+- lo%, 60 cycle power
outlet.
The amplifier is turned on when the turntable con-
trol switch is moved to PLAY. The amplifier is
automatically turned off when turntable control
switch is moved to OFF or after record is played.
3. See Garrard Model SP20 Instruction Sheet for a
guide to proper operation and adjustment of the
four-speed turntable.
Cartridge:
The SA-1OM Portable Solo-Phone System uses the Shure
M44C Stereo Dynetic Phono Cartridge which reproduces
music with remarkable clarity and naturalness of tone. The
cartridge has been installed into the pickup arm head, at
the factory. The stylus pressure has been preset at
3 to 5
grams for optimum results. The stylus replacement for the
Shure M44C Cartridge is the Shure N44C.
The Shure N44-3 Stylus is available for use with the M44C
Cartridge to reproduce the standard 78 r.p.m. recordings.
SPECIAL NOTE: The Dynetic stylus assembly used in
these cartridges is the most critical component. Tomaintain
the original performance standards of your cartridge, be
certain than any replacement stylus you buy bears the fol-
lowing certification 04 the package: "This Stereo Dynetic@
stylus is precision manufactured by Shure Brothers, Inc."
Avoid inferior imitations. They will seriously degrade the
performance of your cartridge. All genuine "Dynetic" styli
are manufactured by Shure Brothers, Inc.
The stylus assembly, when installed in the cartridge, is
practically immune to damage during normal usage. How-
ever, care should be taken to avoid bending or distorting
the stylus assembly when it is installed or removed.
