Congratulations on your new TTL Setup! Here are detailed instructions on how to completely set up your Audio-Technica AT-LP70X turntable and Edifier R1280DB 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 clear speaker wire and connect the speakers together. This cable carries the audio signal and 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. TIP : We recommend using the higher quality RCA cable that comes with your speakers rather than the one that comes with your turntable. Lastly, 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. If you want to use an external preamp, you'll need to connect the groundwire.
3.1 POWER UP + PLAY
1) Turn on power switch on back of the speaker. 2) Put on a record. 3) Press the start button on the front of the turntable. 4) If you don't hear anything, press the LINE button on the remote or the INPUT button on your speaker.
4.0 CONNECT VIA +BLUETOOTH TURNTABLE OPTIONAL UPGRADE
If you purchased the Audio Technica LP70XBT Bluetooth Turntable, you can connect your turntable to the Edifier R1280DB speakers wirelessly. Ensure that you have followed step 1.2 above - connecting the two speakers. You can skip step 3.0 above and follow these connection instructions:
4.1
Activate the speaker's Bluetooth mode by either pressing the Bluetooth button on the remote or the input button the speaker. The light will turn blue to indicate pairing.
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.
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.
