Preparation
The intention is that the DTS is mounted as centered as possible and as close as possible
to the bottom of the turntable. The bottom of the turntable is not completely flat, so an
exact size is difficult to give, but the highest desired position is that the DTS just does not
touch the bottom, the lowest desired position is approx. 2mm lower.
This mounting method uses modular mounting blocks that click together and thus create
the correct distance. A set of blocks consists of a base block and filler blocks of 6mm,
4.5mm, 3mm and 1.5mm. Which set of blocks you need depends on the thickness of the
table top in which the pit is mounted and can easily be determined with the table below.
Note: The starting point is the total thickness of the table top, including any padding
material on the top (cardboard, cork) on which the edge of the turntable rests.

Mount the M4 x 25 hexagon bolts in the base blocks. You will see a hexagonal recess on one
side of the block. The intention is that the head of the hexagon bolt falls into this. However,
the recess is quite tight to ensure that the bolt is properly tightened. It is best to proceed
as follows: Insert the bolt from the side with the recess through the hole. Place an M4
(metal) washer on the other side of the bolt and screw one of the wing nuts on it. Make
sure that the hex head of the bolt aligns as good as possible with the recess in the block.
By then turning the wing nut you pull the head of the bolt into the recess. Remove wing nut
and washer and repeat for the three other blocks.
Important: The washer under the wing nut is essential to ensure that you do not damage
the plastic!

A special “low profile” base block is available for thicknesses greater than 23.5mm. This is not included as
standard, so please indicate when ordering if necessary.
