ICE1 User Manual

• Do I need to buy speakers right away, or does this turntable have built-in sound?
  The ICE1 does not have built-in speakers. You’ll need external speakers or headphones to listen.
• Can it be hooked up to an older stereo system?
  Yes. If your stereo has a phono input, you can connect directly. Otherwise, you’ll need an external phono preamp.
• Can I connect this to a Sonos Connect-Amp and then to speakers?
  Yes. You can connect the ICE1 V2 to a Sonos Connect-Amp using the phono or line output, and then connect it to your speakers.
• Do I need a receiver, or can I listen through Bluetooth headphones without one?
  No receiver is needed. Simply pair your Bluetooth headphones directly with the turntable.
• Is this compatible with a Sonos Bluetooth speaker?
  Yes. The ICE1 V2 has Bluetooth functionality and can connect to any Bluetooth-enabled speaker, including Sonos.
• Do I need a preamp when connecting to Bluetooth speakers?
  No, a preamp is not needed if your turntable has Bluetooth output. The built-in Bluetooth module already processes the signal, so you can connect directly to your Bluetooth speaker without additional equipment.
• Do I need a preamp when using passive (non-powered) speakers?
  Yes, passive speakers require both a preamp and an amplifier. The preamp boosts the weak phono signal from the turntable, and the amplifier provides power to drive the speakers. You can use a standalone preamp connected to an external amplifier, or a receiver with a built-in phono stage.
• Do I need a preamp when using powered (active) speakers?
  It depends. If your powered speakers have a built-in phono preamp, you can connect the turntable directly to them. If the speakers only have a standard AUX (line-in) input, you will need an external preamp to boost the signal to line level.
• How do I know if my speakers have a built-in preamp?
  Check the input options on your speakers. If they have a "Phono" input, they likely have a built-in preamp. If they only have "AUX" or "Line In" inputs, you will need an external preamp.
• Can I use a receiver with a built-ixxn phono input instead of a separate preamp?
  Yes, if your receiver has a dedicated "Phono" input, it already includes a built-in preamp, so you do not need an external one. Simply connect your turntable to the phono input on the receiver.
• Why does this model not include a preamp?
  This design choice was made with a number of factors in mind. The main reason was to separate electronics from the turntable’s signal path to maintain the purity of the analog signal. Many listeners also like to customize their listening experience and choose specific components such as preamps based on unique sonic qualities.Using separate components also allows for optimization of cartridge and phono stage compatibility. If you upgrade your cartridge in the future, you can pair it with an optimal phono preamp to maximize performance and achieve the sound profile you desire.
• Which cartridges can I use on my turntable?
  The ICE1 turntable is compatible with and comes standard with the ATN-3600L moving magnet (MM) cartridge. The cartridge weight must be at least 3.5g for proper installation.
• Does this turntable come with a ground wire?
  Yes. The ICE1 V2 includes a dedicated ground wire to ensure optimal sound quality and reduce hum or interference when connected to a stereo system or amplifier.
