Make the Audio Connections
We feel it is best to connect everything before you get to the final assembly. It's easier to reach all sides of the turntable when it is not fully assembled and everything should still be protected at this point.
Your Alva turntable comes with a pair of audio cables and a separate ground wire. If you are going to use the built-in phono preamp in your Alva TT V2, you will not need the ground wire. Connect the cable with a red ring to the red connector and the one with the black ring to the white connector. These cables will connect to an AUX-type input on your integrated amp or receiver. Do not connect them to the one labeled phono and be sure the little switch next to the phono connections is set to LINE.
If you are going to use a separate phono preamp or the one built into your unit, connect the ground wire to the back of the turntable. In this case, the other end of the RCA cables will go into your phono preamp.
