Part Names and Functions

1) START/STOP Press this button to start or
stop the platter. Double-tap to engage
reverse, abbreviated rev. To start in
reverse push and hold START/ STOP to
arm (blinking blue light) then hit START/
STOP to start in reverse
2) PLATTER SPEED (rpm) Press to toggle
through platter speed, 33, 45, 78.
HIDDEN FUNCTION: Press and hold to
toggle the platter strobe light on/off.
3) TARGET LIGHT Insert target light to the
deck and it will light up.
4) HEADSHELL LOCKING NUT Attach the
headshell by inserting into the front
end of the tone arm. Turn the locking
nut clockwise with the head shell firmly
held horizontally.
5) PITCH SLIDER The pitch slider is used to
speed up or slow down the turntable platter.
6) TONE ARM This is a fully manual tone arm. To start playback, gently place the stylus on the record using the headshell
finger support. Do not drop the stylus onto the record as it may cause damage to the diamond tip or to the record.
7) PITCH SELECT Press the button to switch between +/-8%, +/-25%, or +/-50% pitch range.
HIDDEN FUNCTION: Press and hold to lock the pitch control at 0%.
8) TONE ARM BASE The tone arm base includes the height adjustment and tone arm rest. See facing page for cartridge
settings for proper adjustments.
9) ANTI SKATE KNOB When a record is playing, a force is generated drawing the stylus towards the center of the record. Set this
knob to the same value as the stylus pressure to offset this force. NOTE No anti-skate control is needed for the STR8.150 M2.
Straight tonearms aren't naturally pulled in towards the spindle and so anti-skate controls are not required.
10) COUNTERWEIGHT Use this to balance the tone arm and to adjust the stylus pressure. See facing page for cartridge
settings for proper adjustments.
11) OUTPUT L & R This is the standard analog output (RCA jacks) which can be connected either to a phono or line input on
any DJ mixer, depending on the setting of the phono/line selector. You can also plug straight into powered speakers
like the KRK Rokit series RCA input and setting the switch to line.
12) GROUND LIFT Due to the variety of power sources available to the DJ, Stanton has included a ground lift switch to be
used on the ST- 150/STR8-150 turntables. This will allow the DJ to have the capability of changing the grounding
scheme of the phono cartridge to avoid ground hum that may occur when using the turntable. (See online manual for
more info)
13) PHONO/LINE SWITCH Set to phono when connecting to a powered receiver. Set to line when plugged directly into
powered speakers/monitors.
14) BRAKE The Brake time is adjustable from approx. 0.2~9 sec.
15) POWER CORD CONNECTOR Used to connect the included power cord.
16) POWER SWITCH This switch turns the power on or off, including the motor and audio signal.
17) STROBE DOTS The dots around the edge of the platter are used in conjunction with the light located inside the motor
ON/OFF switch. While the platter is in rotation, the dots help to indicate the speed of rotation. The speed is lower than
the displayed speed (33,45,78) when the dots are flowing to the right. It is higher than the displayed speed (33,45,78)
when the dots are flowing to the left. When the strobe is stopped, the platter is rotating at the displayed speed.
18) STROBE LIGHT Illuminates the strobe dots for setting speed.
