Frequently Asked Questions - RT83 Fluance
How do I set up the Fluance RT83 turntable?
To set up your RT83, place it on a level, stable surface. Remove the platter and belt, then install the belt around the motor pulley and platter. Attach the counterweight and set tracking force to 1.8g (for Ortofon 2M Red). Set anti-skate to the same value. Connect to a phono preamp or amplifier with phono input.
Does the Fluance RT83 have a built-in preamp?
No, the RT83 does not have a built-in phono preamp. You must connect it to an external phono preamp or to an amplifier with a dedicated phono input.
What cartridge does the RT83 come with?
The RT83 comes pre-installed with an Ortofon 2M Red cartridge, which is a high-performance moving magnet cartridge known for its balanced sound.
How do I switch between 33 and 45 RPM?
To switch speeds, move the speed selector switch located near the motor pulley. Ensure the platter is stopped before changing speeds, then start the rotation again.
How do I clean and maintain my RT83?
Clean the stylus gently with a carbon-fiber brush before each play. Use a record cleaning brush for vinyl. Replace the belt every 3-5 years. Lubricate the spindle bearing sparingly with lightweight machine oil.
What is the correct tracking force for the RT83?
The recommended tracking force for the Ortofon 2M Red is 1.8 grams. Adjust the counterweight until the tonearm balances, then rotate the counterweight scale to zero and turn to 1.8g.
Why is the turntable producing distorted sound?
Distorted sound can indicate incorrect tracking force, anti-skate misalignment, or a dirty stylus. Check the counterweight and anti-skate settings. Clean the stylus with a brush. If issue persists, verify connections.
Can I replace the cartridge on the RT83?
Yes, the RT83 features a standard 1/2-inch mount headshell, allowing you to replace the cartridge with another compatible moving magnet cartridge. Use a protractor for alignment.
What is the warranty on the Fluance RT83?
The RT83 comes with a 2-year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Register your product on the Fluance website to activate warranty.
Does the RT83 have auto-stop or auto-return?
