Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Vertere Challenger dedicated DC power supply.
Countless hours of investigative listening and testing have provided an
astonishing upgrade to the performance of the DG-1 record player and the Tempo
motor drive. Thallei-L6 takes the performance of our worldwide award-winning
record players to yet a new level. Challenges are manufactured to exacting
standards to provide you with many years of musical enjoyment.
Installation
It is important to ensure Challenger has sufficient clear space around it
where it is to be installed. It’s best to allocate a small area on an
equipment rack or self – Avoid placing on carpets.
Use the mains cable provided and attach it to the AC input socket on the
Challenges but do not connect it to the wall mains socket yet.
Next, connect the DC plug on the output cable to the DG-1 or the Tempo Motor
Drive. Now you can plug the mains cable into the wall socket. The green Power
LED light on the Challenge and the power indicator lights on the DG-1 or the
Tempo should now all illuminate.
Now it’s time to enjoy the performance enhancement the challenger brings -Play
