TN-180BT-A3 Bluetooth Turntable with Audio-Technica Cartridge, Black
Overview
The TN-180BT-A3 delivers the sound wirelessly via built-in Bluetooth® transmitter, in addition to conventional RCA output in analog Line or Phono format. The pairing button is located at the tone-arm base, which illuminates when the connection with BT speakers/headphone is made successfully. Unlike other turntable units, the TN-180BT-A3 provides you the simplest way of listening to vinyl records via Bluetooth®.
If you already have speakers or headphones with Bluetooth for your iPhone/Android phone, all you have to do is to install the TN-180BT-A3 in your room – no pricy hi-fi system and complicated wiring are required. The connection is as simple as ABC, just press the BT pairing button when the Bluetooth® speakers/headphones are ready to the paired, and once the connection is established, you don't need to repeat the same process every time you listening to vinyl records.
The TN-180BT-A3 also provides conventional ways of connection to hi-fi systems, with or without the built-in phono amplifier, with the included RCA-cable.
An authentic 3-speed Turntable
The TN-180BT-A3 plays LP, EP and SP records from your library. The tone-arm automatically returns to the original position as playback finished.
The groove of the SP (78rpm) records is 3 to 4 times wider than typical 33 1/3rpm record, so it might damage the stylus and cause the noise when you play back the record with pre-installed stylus. Please keep it limited use.
MM-type cartridge pre-installed for quick start
A VM-type (equivalent to MM-type) cartridge AT3600L by audio-technica is already installed to the straight-type tone-arm at the factory, so you can start playing records as soon as you open the box.
The authentic belt-drive turntable is driven by a high torque DC motor, while precision stainless steel spindle and durable brass spindle holder maintain accurate rotation speed.
High-density MDF cabinet construction
Unlike others with plastic chassis, a single wooden board with high-density MDF minimizes vibrations and resonance to playback of your vinyl record library with clearer sound.
Built-in VM-type Phono EQ amplifier
Enjoy vinyl playback with any amplifier regardless type of inputs. The TN-180BT-A3 supports both PHONO and LINE outputs that allow you to play vinyl with or without Phono equalizer.
