Set up tips
To ensure an airbearing turntable/tonearm to work perfect, there are some important
parameters that is vital to succeed.
On the Bergmann turntables and tonearms the parameters are as follows:
The platter:
1. The platter must be in level, as every other turntables.
2. the amount of airflow must be correct! That means just enougth air to lift the platter to
obtain a frictionless airfilm between the airbearing and the subplatter.
3. The airbearing and subplatter must be absolutely clean to avoid friction and noise.
The tonearm:
1. The airpipe must be in level.
Bergmann tonearms can be tilted independed of the plinth.
2. The airpipe and the sliding pipe must be absolutely clean.
3. The tracking force must be correct.
4. The airflow must be correct:
The airflow is correct when the sliding pipe is floating unhindered on the airpipe. An airfilm
must create a space between the airpipe and the sliding pipe. That means just enougth
airflow to lift the sliding pipe from the airpipe, but not so much as a friction is caused at the
underside between the sliding pipe and the airpipe!
