Thank you for purchasing this Cambridge Audio TT50 turntable. We hope that you will enjoy many years of listening pleasure from it. The TT50 has been jointly developed between Cambridge Audio and Pro-Ject and features several parts unique to this model such as a proprietary arm with non contact magnetic anti-skate. Other features include a Cambridge Audio made acrylic platter, coated with a layer of elastomer paint for careful control of resonance and matched acoustic impedance to the vinyl record for maximum detail retrieval. The isolation type feet also control resonance and provide a measure of feedback resistance to vibration. The TT50 turntable is supplied with an Audio Technica AT95E Moving Magnet cartridge fully aligned and setup at the factory. The TT50 should always be mounted on a good quality level support, preferably one designed for use with turntables. Your turntable can only be as good as the system it is connected to. Please do not compromise on your supports, amplification, speakers or cabling. Naturally we particularly recommend models from the Cambridge Audio Azur range which have been designed to the same exacting standards as this turntable. In particular pay attention to the quality of your phono stage. The Cambridge Audio Azur 540P or 640P models for instance are an excellent match for the TT50. Your dealer can also supply excellent quality Cambridge Audio interconnects to ensure your system realises its full potential. Thank you for taking the time to read this manual; we do recommend you keep it for future reference. Matthew Bramble, Cambridge Audio Technical Director and the Turntable design team.
