SME support FAQ

Kesyon komen sou manyèl, anrejistreman, ak sipò pou mak sa a.

  • Where are SME turntables manufactured?

    SME turntables and tonearms are entirely manufactured in-house in West Sussex, England, blending state-of-the-art processes with traditional craftsmanship.

  • How do I correctly set the operating height of my SME turntable suspension?

    Use the supplied 3mm hex wrench in the center hole of each upper gallery cover. Turn clockwise to raise the sub-chassis until achieving the model-specific clearance (typically 3mm to 3.5mm) as measured by the height setting gauge.

  • What is the proper way to level an SME turntable?

    Use a spirit level to ensure the main chassis is level. Adjust the feet by slightly lifting the chassis adjacent to the foot being adjusted to make rotation easier and prevent the rubber pad from binding.

  • How do I add bearing oil to my new SME turntable?

    SME turntables are shipped with minimal oil. Before setup, use the provided syringe to slowly inject the full metered quantity of oil into the bearing housing via the oil filler adapter.
