In this second part, I would like to explain how to use it and what the installation looks like.
Installation is very simple. First, let me explain the process.
This time we have put together photos showing how to install the IT-345CR1.
1 Remove the 3 cap bolts that secure the base plate
2 Insert the turntable into the base plate from above. Tighten it up with the washer and nut from below.
3. Reattach the base plate to the base body using the cap bolts.
That's it! We often get inquiries from overseas customers asking how to install it.
Once you understand the process, you'll realize that it's much easier than attaching it to a regular player board!
Next, let's install the tone arm on the TAS-SSA!

Here are some things to keep in mind when installing a tone arm.
1 Pull the cable out from the inside so that the DIN connector is visible from the outside.
Make sure it is firmly inserted into the 5-pin of the tone arm.
2. Lower the shaft straight down while following the cable.
Be careful not to pull the cable too hard and cause it to come off the shaft.
3 Once you have decided on the tone arm height, tighten the turntable locking screw securely.
Our tonearms have resin on the tip of the set screw, so it won't damage the arm too much.
4. Use the template that comes with the tone arm to set it to your desired position.
At this time, hold the tone arm pipe and set it so that it moves to the center of the turntable.
It works fine.
That's all. I've written in detail, but the connection between the DIN connector of the cable and the tone arm is
There are times when I have slacked off and the pins have not been inserted properly, so even without using TAS-SSA
Please be careful when installing the tone arm.
The last photo is our audio system.
Due to the nature of my job, I often have to change tone arms, so using the TAS-SSA has saved me a lot of time.
For customers who frequently change tone arms, leave the cable attached and plug and unplug it on the step-up transformer side.
You can just place it nearby. It's also recommended as a decoration as it won't move easily.
That's all for this special article.TAS-SSAWe featured the following.
I have two tone arms, but it's a hassle to change them, so one of them has been sitting in the closet for a long time.
I'm currently using a short arm, but I'm starting to want to use a long arm as well.
We are confident that TAS-SSA is the product that will address your needs.
Tone arms also come in a wide variety of lengths, materials, internal wiring, contacts, and balancing mechanisms.
We hope to help you find your favorite combination.
We would like to continue to introduce IKEDA Sound Labs. products in detail, using photographic explanations like this.
We also offer rental listening devices, so if you are interested, please feel free to contact us.
Thank you for reading this long article, which spans two parts.
