Introduction to Audio Keeper Turntable ICE1
The Audio Keeper Turntable ICE1 is a vinyl turntable that combines retro aesthetics with modern technology. Its acrylic casing and Bluetooth capabilities make it a visually appealing and functional piece of audio equipment.
Here are detailed steps on how to set up and use the Audio Keeper Turntable ICE1:
Step 1: Unpack and Inspect
When you receive your Audio Keeper Turntable ICE1, first carefully unpack it. Before starting assembly, make sure you have checked all accessories and parts. This usually includes the main unit, tonearm, cartridge, power cord, manual, etc.
Step 2: Find the right location
Before assembly, choose an appropriate location to place your Audio Keeper Turntable ICE1. The location should be flat, stable, and protected from direct sunlight and moisture. Make sure the location is an appropriate distance from your audio equipment for subsequent connections.
Step 3: Assemble the Turntable
Start assembling the vinyl turntable itself, which typically involves the following steps:
a. Carefully remove the ICE1 platter from the packaging, making sure to place it flat on a clean, level surface. Then install the belt correctly on the platter.
b. Gently place the prepared platter onto the ICE1's turntable shaft, making sure it is firmly and smoothly seated in place.
c. Install the tonearm counterweight. According to the instructions in the user manual, adjust the counterweight to balance the tonearm and ensure good tracking of the stylus to the record.
d. Open the pre-installed cartridge correctly. Carefully remove the cartridge's protective cap and adjust the tonearm height according to the manual's instructions to ensure optimal sound quality and stylus tracking.
e. Install the dust cover. Place it gently on the shaft of the ICE1 to protect the turntable and cartridge from dust and debris, ensuring long-term stable operation of the audio equipment.
f. Put your record on the turntable and then connect the ICE1 to your audio system or Bluetooth device, making sure all cables are securely plugged into the corresponding sockets and make the necessary settings according to the user manual.
Step 4: Connect power and audio equipment
Now you can connect the power cord and plug the Audio Keeper Turntable ICE1 into a power outlet. At the same time, connect your audio equipment via Bluetooth. Turn on the Bluetooth function of your vinyl turntable, then search for and select Audio Keeper Turntable ICE1 on your audio device to establish a connection.
Step 5: Prepare the vinyl record
Choose the vinyl record you want to play and make sure it's clean and dust-free. Gently place the record on the turntable and make sure it is accurately centered.
Step 6: Play music
Launch the Audio Keeper Turntable ICE1 and you can use the control panel or Bluetooth remote to start and stop music playback. Music will be streamed from your vinyl records to connected speakers for high-fidelity sound quality.
Step 7: Adjust the sound quality
Begin by ensuring your turntable is properly connected to your audio system and powered on. Locate the tonearm weight adjustment dial, typically located near the base of the tonearm. Turn the dial clockwise to increase the tracking force, enhancing bass and stability, or turn it counterclockwise to decrease the tracking force for a lighter touch and reduced bass. Be cautious not to set it too heavy, as this may harm your vinyl records. Remember that sound quality is subjective and can vary based on your music genre and personal taste.
Step 8: Enjoy the music
Now you can sit back, relax and enjoy the classic music experience with Audio Keeper Turntable ICE1. Whether you like old rock, classic blues, retro pop or romantic classical music, this vinyl turntable will bring you high-fidelity sound quality and nostalgic charm.
The Audio Keeper Turntable ICE1 is an audio device that combines traditional beauty with modern convenience, providing music lovers with a unique musical experience.

Hi! Just received this turntable. It’s so cool. Two questions…
The cartridge/stylist seems to be slightly angled and not perpendicular to the platter. Is this intentional or do I need to make an adjustment. Second question is more about a possible problem. Trying to connect via Bluetooth. I’ve switched to “BT-OUT” as instructed and device “3H4W6G3” shows up on my iPhone and iPad and my wife’s iPhone and iPad (4 devices), but all fail to connect. We are placing these devices right next to the turntable with no luck. Thoughts?
Also… to add, I just plugged it in via RCA connectors and I’m getting music to play, but it cycles through volume changes. Seems that every few seconds the volume will drop by a few decibels and then return, then drop and return (kind of a volume wave). I’ve got the exact same connection to the amplifier as a previous turntable that didn’t do that. It’s not really listenable at this point. I’m still trying the Bluetooth option to see if it performs with that compression/decompression action that it does when it’s connected to the “phono” input of my receiver.
