TTL Setup: Audio-Technica AT-LP70X / Edifier MR4.5

Congratulations on your new TTL Setup! Here are detailed instructions on how to completely set up your Audio-Technica AT-LP70X turntable and Edifier MR4.5 speakers, plus some tweaks for optimizing the setup.

1.0 SET UP YOUR SPEAKERS

1.1

Unpack your Edifier speakers and place them where you want them in your room. The Speaker with knobs on the side should be on your left side. Note that the speakers can be no more than 8 Feet apart.
 

1.2

Turn the speakers around so the back panels are facing you. Make sure the power switch is in the off position and plug the speaker into an outlet. (Note: only one speaker will be plugged into power outlet).

Locate the 2nd power cord and connect the speakers together. This cable carries the power  to the "satellite" speaker. 

2.0 SET UP YOUR AT-LP70X TURNTABLE

Please refer to this quick video to get your AT-LP70X turntable set up.

3.0 CONNECT YOUR TURNTABLE TO THE SPEAKER

Now connect your turntable to the speaker using the RCA cable. Double check the 'PHONO || LINE' switch is set to LINE.

NOTE: You will not need the groundwire (wire with U-shaped connections that comes with your turntable) because we are using the turntable's built-in preamp (aka LINE). If you want to use an external preamp, you'll need to connect the groundwire and flip the switch to PHONO.

3.1 POWER UP + PLAY

1) Turn on power using the button on front of the speaker. 2) Put on a record. 3) Press the start button on the front of the turntable. 

4.0 OPTIONAL UPGRADE: CONNECT TURNTABLE + SPEAKER VIA +BLUETOOTH

If you purchased the Audio Technica LP70XBT Bluetooth Turntable, you can connect your turntable to the Edifier MR4.5 speakers wirelessly. You can skip step 3.0 above and follow these connection instructions:

4.1

Activate the speaker's Bluetooth mode by pressing the Bluetooth button on the back of the speaker. 

4.2

On the turntable, press the Bluetooth button for two seconds. The LED light will alternate flashing between blue and red, indicating that the turntable is in pairing mode. Once the turntable has successfully paired with the speaker, that flashing light will change to a solid blue solid blue. (NOTE: the turntable and speaker need to be within 3.2 feet / 1.0m of each other to pair).

4.3

Put on a record and start spinning! If you have any problems with pairing devices, feel free to reach out to our customer service team for troubleshooting tips.

NOTE: With the Edifier MR4.5, there is no need to select input / source. The speaker plays the wired inputs and Bluetooth simultaneously.

TIP: The Edifier MR4.5 supports multiple Bluetooth connections. For multi-device connections: after the inital pairing, press and hold the speaker's Bluetooth button for about 1.5 seconds to pair a second device.

5.0 UPGRADES

For a quick and easy to install upgrade, we recommend AT-VMN95EN stylus. This stylus features a nude elliptical stylus which is a big sound upgrade over the stock model (bonded diamond tip stylus). It's easy to install, just slide off the blue stylus and slide on the new stylus.
