Maintenance
Your record player requires little or no regular maintenance. Remove dust gently with the included cloth
(42) slightly moistened. Never use a dry cloth because this will create static electricity which attracts
more dust.
Antistatic cleaning fluids are available at specialist stores but must be applied sparingly to avoid damage
to rubber parts. It is recommended to fit the cartridge cover (37) before cleaning or maintenance is
carried out to avoid damage.
If the player is not used over a long period of time the rubber belt (45) can be removed to prevent
unequal stretching.
It is recommended to change rubber belt every 1-2 years to maintain a consistent playback. Boiling the
old rubber belt in hot water can regain its strength as it will shrink a bit.
FW Version / FW Upgrade
The firmware (FW) of your TT electronics can be updated over time.
You can check your FW version by clicking the FW button (61) on the back. The LED on the tonearm base
will then signal with a number of blinks to indicate the FW version. Version 01 is one blink, V02 is two
blinks and so on.
If you have been in contact with the Transparent support team and received a new FW file, and you have
it on a USB-A stick:
Power on your turntable and insert the USB stick in the USB-A socket (63) in the back.
Press and hold the FW button. Release the button when the LED starts blinking (after around 5
seconds). Now the new FW version will upload to the turntable.
Important: do NOT power off your turntable during the FW upgrade as it might damage the
internal memory.
After the LED has stopped blinking you can eject your USB stick and if you want check the new
FW version with a click.
HW Upgrade
Transparent™ lives by a circular design philosophy. A big part of that is about trying to prepare our
products for any future scenario, so the main product does not become obsolete, but that it can be
upgraded and improved over time as technology evolves.
Apart from the cartridge and headshell that has been already described, it is quite likely that a new
wireless module would be needed some years after the first generation TT was shipped.
The wireless module compartment (65) has a silicon holder (56) that holds the Bluetooth module (52).
If you wish to upgrade to a new wireless module, it is likely that Transparent offers upgrades, visit our
website at https://transpa.rent and look for upgrades.
If you obtain an upgrade from Transparent it is likely it comes with a new silicon holder and perhaps new
cables. In this case you simply eject the whole silicon holder and insert the new one, make sure the
cables plug in properly during this operation.
There might also be 3rd party wireless transmitters that can be powered by USB 5V and has a line in
socket. Feel free to try this and use for example a double sided pad to fix the 3rd party module in the
compartment, if it fits.
Disassembly
Your Transparent Turntable has a completely modular design. If any part would need service or an
upgrade, this should be doable by using the assembly tool (39) attached to the bottom side of the E box.
All screws in the TT are operable by either end of this tool.
Before commencing any disassembly work make sure to unplug the power cable and music cables.
As described in the dust cover section, the hinges and pillars are dismantled by hand. After this you can
release the rest of the components by using the assembly tool.
Important note: We do not recommend opening of the e box unless you have professional experience, or
by guidance by the Transparent support team. You might risk damaging sensitive components or if the
power cable is still plugged in there is risk for electrical shock!
All disassembly activities are carried out at your own risk and will void any warranty.
Recycling
If needed, the Transparent Turntable can be completely dismantled into individual materials (except for
the circuit boards, that at the time of writing still need to be soldered together).
If you end up in a situation where you need to discard outdated or broken parts, make sure to sort and
recycle them in their respective waste stream in your local area. If in doubt, get in touch with our support
team on support@transpa.rent
Warranty
Transparent offers a 2 year warranty as a standard. Please consult your local dealer or
https://transpa.rent for further assistance.
Scan for Traceability
Do scan your QR code sticker. Your Transparent Turntable has a unique serial number that will lead you
to several product specific discoveries online. You might find an interactive CO2 impact tool to further
dive into the traceability of your TT. You might find product and generation specific advice about
upgrades and service.

the “True Wireless Pairing Mode” command. Then do the same on the second speaker.
Tip: Open a smartphone Bluetooth setting and wait for both speakers to show up in the bluetooth
new devices list (but don’t select them on the screen).
Now press the pairing button on the turntable (53).
Now the connection should be completed.
If using two Small Transparent Speakers or Light Speakers, or a combination of these, they should
automatically go into “Left” respectively “Right” channel mode. Otherwise it can be adjusted by
long press (see the speaker bottom side instuctions). For the large Transparent Speaker you do
this selection manually on the back panel by a switch.
Anti-skating
The small “needle” or “stylus” at the tip of the tonearm (21) picks up the music vibrations from a
V-shaped groove on the record. The inner or “left” side of the V holds all the sound wave information of
the left channel of the music recording, and vice versa on the outer or “right” side of this groove. The
tonearm naturally wants to move closer to the center of the record, but if it pulls or “skates” too hard
inwards it will push too hard on the left channel side, which in turn creates distortion of the right channel
in the music. If you hear this happen you can make the stylus “skate” less inwards by increasing the
anti-skating force on the anti-skating knob (28). And vice versa, if you hear distortions of the left channel
in the music you should decrease the anti-skating force. The aim is to let the stylus travel in the middle
of the V shaped groove. The default anti-skate setting on your TT should be 2.
Vertical Tracking Force / Tonearm Counterweight Calibration
Your TT should arrive with a pre-calibrated tonearm counterweight (24). But if needed please follow the
steps below.
Open the dust cover and use the assembly tool (39) to release the counterweight set screw (25).
Release the tonearm clip (32) but keep the tonearm lifting lever (31) in down position.
Grab the counterweight with your fingers, screw it outwards until the tonearm lifts up from its
resting position.
Rotate the tonearm inwards over the record. Now gently screw the counterweight back in until
you can see a perfectly balanced tonearm. It does not have to be completely level, but it should
float in mid air without moving up or down. Give it some time and when you find a completely
balanced position, gently grab the rotatable counterweight dial (26) and turn it to the 0 position.
You need to keep the rest of the weight from rotating so you might need to hold it in place with
your other hand.
Find out the recommended tracking force of your cartridge. For example, for the Ortofon OM5E it
is 1,75g which can be found on the Ortofon website or user manual. Normally it is around 2g so if
you are unsure we recommend this setting.
Now turn the whole counterweight (including the dial) to the recommended tracking force of your
cartridge.
Finally tighten one of the set screws to fix the now calibrated counterweight position.
Changing the Cartridge
Usually, the cartridge (36) comes pre-installed. Otherwise, install the cartridge into the aluminium
headshell (34) using the two mounting screws located on the tonearm grip (35). All cartridges with
standard half inch mounting holes can be fitted.
Connect the cartridge cables as indicated below:
White: left channel L+
Red: right channel R+
Green: right channel R-
Blue: left channel L-
Use the cartridge alignment tool to calibrate the new cartridge along an entire record (instructions
below).
Changing the Stylus
The stylus is the front part of the cartridge. A damaged or worn stylus may harm your record collection
and should be replaced. Please remove stylus protection before pulling the stylus from the cartridge and
replace for a new one.
The replacement stylus type for the pre-mounted cartridge Ortofon OM5E is the ”Stylus OM5E”.
If changing only the stylus on the Ortofon OM5E there is usually no need for re-alignment of the cartridge
or re-adjustment of the tracking force.
Changing The Headshell
If you wish to use another headshell (34) simply unscrew the headshell mount (33) and then pull the
headshell outwards to release it.
Insert another SME connector compatible headshell, screw it in place with your fingers and use the
cartridge alignment tool to calibrate it along an entire record (instructions below).
Cartridge Alignment
First retrieve your cartridge alignment tool (40) from the bottom side of the E box.
To make sure that the turntable cannot move during the alignment procedure, place small
cardboard wedges (or similar) beneath the outer edge of the turntable platter.
Put a record on the turntable.
Unlatch the tonearm clip.
Lift the tonearm lifting lever to the up position.
Unscrew the cartridge screws a bit so it can be adjusted.
Move the cartridge forward or backward in the headhshell to place the stylus tip at the overhang
point recommended for the headshell. If there is no recommended overhang, position the
cartridge in the middle of the headshell.
Balance the tone arm and temporarily apply a tracking force of 1 gram.
Slip the hole of the alignment tool over the turntable spindle (19), and place the alignment tool on
the record over the area where the stylus tracks.
Inner (near the center of the record) alignment point: Lower the tone arm lever so that the stylus
tip rests on the inner stylus tip marking on the tool. If the sides of the cartridge body are not
parallel to the reference lines on the tool, raise the tone arm lever and adjust the cartridge body
position by the two top screws, so that it is parallel to the reference lines on the protractor.
Outer Alignment Point: Repeat this procedure for the outer stylus tip marking on the alignment
tool.
Repeat this procedure on both points until the cartridge body is parallel at both points, or as close
to parallel as possible. If the cartridge can only be made parallel at one point, select the inner
point (closer to the center of the record).
When the adjustment procedure is completed, fully tighten the cartridge mounting screws.
Finally reset the correct tracking force of your tonearm counterweight.
User Manual
Setup Guide
Unbox your turntable near the speaker you will use with it. Make sure you have enough flat
surface to place your turntable and an electrical socket nearby.
Open the box.
Put on the gloves (2). Take out the whole top buffer (3) and put it away for now.
Lift up your turntable from the packaging.
Open the product bag (6) and gently pull the opening over the front pillars, and then backwards to
reveal the full turntable.
Open the dust cover (7) by the finger grip (8).
The tonearm counterweight (24) comes pre-calibrated, so there is no need to set the weight. For
tracking force calibration instructions see page 5.
Remove the rubber band (38) holding the cartridge cover (37) in place during shipping. Also
remove the cartridge cover.
Place your favorite vinyl record on the platter.
Move the on/off switch (30) to the on position.
Double check that the speed RPM setting knob (27) is at the 33 RPM position (this is the most
common record speed). For playing singles at 45 RPM see page 4.
Double check that the anti-skating knob (28) is at position 2. For anti-skating settings see page 5.
Unlatch the tonearm clip (32).
Raise the tonearm by lifting the tonearm lifting lever (31).
Take out the sub-platter (44) from the packaging.
Place the sub-platter on the spindle (19) with the three rubber dots facing upwards.
Pinch the paper flag holding the rubber belt (45) on the sub-platter side and pull it over the
motor pulley (18), then remove the paper flag.
Place the main platter (43) on top with the six rubber stripes facing upwards.
Connect the power cable (4) first to the AC power socket (66) on the backside of the turntable.
Connect the other side to a wall socket.
Connect the mini-jack of the music cable (5) to the “Line in” on your speaker or amplifier and
plug the RCA side of the cable to the RCA line out socket (60) on the backside of the turntable.
Make sure you plug the white plug to the white connector and the red plug to the red connector.
For instructions of the Y shaped ground wire on the sound cable (needed for Small Transparent
Speaker) see page 4.
For playback to two speakers see page 4.
For playback over Bluetooth see page 4.
Make sure your speaker is turned on and has the volume at least to 50%.
Make sure the pre-amp switch (62) in the back of the turntable is in the “on” position. For usage
with external amplifiers turn the pre-amp switch to the off position.
Now place the turntable in the place you want it to be. We recommend using gloves and having
the dust cover closed at all times when lifting and moving the turntable.
If the surface below your turntable is uneven, you have the possibility to adjust the leveling of the
rubber feet (15) by using a normal flat head screwdriver.
Move the tonearm by pinching the tonearm grip (35) and position the cartridge needle above the
edge at the beginning of the record. By now the record should have started spinning.
If there is dust or particles on your record, take this time to clean the record using the record
brush (49). While the record is spinning and the tonearm is in up position, lower the brush onto
the left side of the record so it cleans all the tracks of the record simultaneously, there is no need
to move the brush back and forth, just let it catch the debris as the record spins and then move it
out from the record.
Lower the tonearm by lowering the tonearm lever (31).
You should now hear music. If needed, fine tune the speed using the pitch knob (23). Adjust the
volume on your speaker and enjoy the moment.
After the record is finished the motor will stop. When you are done playing, first lift the tonearm
lever up. Grab the tonearm grip and move the tonearm back over its resting position.Lower the
tonearm lifting lever. Latch the tonearm clip. Close the dust cover by the finger grip.
Dust Cover
When opening and closing the dust cover, always use the finger grip (8) to avoid smudging the glass.
While playing a record or when not in use the cover should be down to protect from dust.
If you find the hinge force to be too strong or over time perhaps too loose, use the assembly tool (39)
attached to the bottom of the E box and tighten the hinge screws to find the desired hinge force.
Remember to remove all platters and to use gloves if turning your turntable upside down.
If you prefer using your turntable without the dust cover for some reason you can dismantle it using only
your fingers:
Unscrew the four pillar screws (9) on the top, remove the dust cover and the two top pillars (11).
Unscrew the two front pillars (13) and the two hinge pillars (12) and put them away.
Attach the four pillar screws, this time through the plinth and down into the bottom pillars (14).
Make sure they have a washer (10) each to protect the glass.
If you find your front pillars and top pillars does not align perfectly:
Unscrew the two top pillar screws and reposition the top pillars so they align with the two front
pillars, then tighten them again. If needed, repeat this procedure on the front pillars.
Speed Settings
Most records use the 33 ⅓ RPM speed so this is the default speed setting.
Some records, often smaller records or singles use 45 RPM speed. These records often have a bigger
hole for the spindle, for this you should use the included 45 RPM Adapter (47) when placing your record,
and you should change the speed RPM setting knob (27) to 45.
If you feel your music playback speed needs further fine tuning you can use the precision speed / pitch
knob (23).
Playing to the Small Transparent Speaker over cable
/ Avoiding ground noise
Turntable pickups are sensitive devices and they can pick up various kinds of unwanted noise in various
situations. It can depend on the grounding or shielding in the internal electronic components on various
speakers. The bottom side Line In socket on the Small Transparent Speaker sometimes result in
unwanted ground noise when playing from a turntable, and we have developed a method to handle this.
The RCA cable (5) has a small ground wire with a small “Y shaped” grounding fork on both ends. This fork
is meant to be attached to a ground screw (59) on both sides.
First insert the RCA cable to the turntable RCA line out (60) and flip the STS on its side to expose the
connectors upwards and insert the mini-jack to the STS Line in.
On the turntable side the ground screw is located on the left side of the RCA line out. Use your fingers
and screw the fork in place on the ground screw. On the speaker side, insert the USB Ground Adapter
(46) in the USB socket and screw the fork in place on the ground screw.
Now you can follow the normal steps to start playing a record.
Note! If playing to the front Line In socket on the STS or if playing to a large Transparent Speaker there
should be no need for using the ground wire fork or the USB ground adapter.
Playing to two speakers over cable
All Transparent Speakers come with a sound cable included. This can be used from the 3,5mm line out
socket (64) on the turntable to the 3,5mm Line In socket on the back, rear or front of your Transparent
speaker (depending on the model).
The second speaker can then be connected using the RCA cable for simultaneous playback.
If one of the speakers is a Small Transparent Speaker, please see instructions of using the USB Ground
Adapter (46) above.
If you play to two Small Transparent Speakers, we recommend using the RCA cable (5) with ground wire
to the bottom line-in, and the STS included music cable to the front line-in of your second speaker.
For Left / Right channel selection on your Transparent Speaker or Small Transparent Speaker please
refer to these respective user manuals.
Note! If you wish to play to a pair of traditional loudspeakers we recommend using the RCA cable from
the turntable RCA line out (60) to the line in on your existing amplifier that already have your (passive)
speakers connected. Consider turning off the pre-amp switch (62) on the back of your TT in this
scenario.
Playing to one speaker over Bluetooth
The Transparent Turntable should be compatible with most Bluetooth speakers and headphones on the
market, but we can not guarantee compatibility with all protocols from all times. The instructions below
will focus on pairing with Transparent speakers. Note! Your smartphone is not needed to pair a speaker
with the turntable.
Make sure both your turntable and speaker are powered on.
Press the bluetooth button on your Transparent speaker (or other bluetooth enabled speaker).
Press the bluetooth button (53) on your Transparent Turntable. Notice how the Bluetooth LED
(54) start to blink faster during the pairing mode, and slower again when the connection has been
established. You should also hear a sound effect in the speaker confirming the connection.
Troubleshooting:
Make sure the speaker and turntable are close enough together. In some conditions not more
than a few meters apart.
Select “forget device” of your Transparent speakers in the bluetooth settings in all previously
paired smartphones, tablets, computers, TVs etc. This is to avoid the speakers connecting to
other devices than the turntable during the pairing operation.
Factory reset by doing a long press of the bluetooth button on your speaker and turntable (usually
+6 or +10 seconds) until the bluetooth LED blinks swiftly.
Make sure the Bluetooth module on the speaker side is set to “Receiver” (N/A on STS) and the
Bluetooth module on the turntable side is set to “Transmitter” (55).
Make sure the turntable Bluetooth module is in fact on, it should have a slowly blinking red light
on the button. Otherwise (after removing any record and both platters and with gloves on)
carefully flip the turntable upside down and investigate the wireless module compartment (65)
so that both cables (57, 58) inside the compartment are sufficiently plugged in to both turntable
and Bluetooth module.
Playing to two speakers over Bluetooth
The Transparent Turntable should be compatible with most Bluetooth speakers and headphones on the
market, but we can not guarantee compatibility of True Wireless Pairing with all protocols from all times.
The instructions below will focus on pairing with Transparent speakers.
If you have any of the speakers previously paired to smartphones, tablets, laptops, TVs etc,
navigate to the Bluetooth menu and select “forget device”. Then do a long press FW reset on the
speaker Bluetooth button.
Place your speakers and turntable in the same room, not further away than 5 m from each other,
preferably even closer.
Make sure both speakers and the turntable are powered on.
Long press the Bluetooth button on the first speaker and release during red LED light and hear

Introduction
The Transparent Turntable is a high quality vinyl record player. It is built by a tempered glass plinth and dust cover, with most structural parts crafted out of aluminium. These sturdy materials offer a rigid structure to
ensure a reliable playback over time.
The belt driven motor system is a reliable method to ensure a consistent playback over a long period of time, and there are precision speed and tracking controls for fine tuning the playback.
We have developed our own tonearm with a custom headshell that can hold any moving magnet cartridge with standard mounting holes, but even the headshell is modular by the standard SME connector.
The tonearm is operated by custom aluminium tonearm grip, lifting lever and clip.
The Transparent Turntable has a built in pre-amp. This means it can play directly to any modern (active) loudspeaker without the need of separate equipment. If you wish to use external amplifiers there is of course a
pre-amp on/off switch as well. The TT comes with music cables of course, but to ensure a timeless functionality of the turntable, we have developed a compartment for wireless modules as well. The first generation TT
comes with our pre-installed Bluetooth™ module so you can enjoy your vinyl records in a wireless playback if you wish. In future home demands the compartment is ready to adapt and upgrade to future needs.
The completely modular design, high quality build and upgradable nature of this products is part of Transparent’s circular design philosophy. It is not only about where all raw materials come from, but also about a plan
to make the product stay relevant over a long time to come.
