GTT-5000 quickstart guide

Thanks for picking up the Gemini Sound GTT-5000, a belt-drive USB turntable pack that ships with a matched pair of speakers. Follow the steps below to get your turntable set up and your records spinning.

Install the belt

1. Find the turntable belt underneath the platter and gently lift it out.
2. Set the platter onto the spindle so the belt lines up with the motor pulley.
3. Stretch the belt over the motor pulley. Make sure it sits flat, with no twists and no slack.

Install the headshell

1. Attach the needle and cartridge to the headshell using the supplied screws.
2. Fit the headshell onto the tonearm and lock it firmly in place.
3. Balance the tonearm by adjusting the counterweight and the anti-skating dial, following the settings in the manual.

Set up the connections

1. Plug the active speaker into a power outlet and switch it on.
2. Connect the passive speaker to the active speaker with the supplied speaker wire.
3. Connect the turntable to the active speaker with the supplied RCA cables. Match the colors of the plugs to the jacks.
4. To digitize your records, run the USB cable from the turntable to your computer. The turntable has a built-in soundcard that converts the analog signal to a digital file. You'll likely need recording software such as Audacity to capture the audio on your computer.

Enjoy your music
