Key Technology

These features make R517 modern turntables more easy set up. Whether you want to enjoy the warm sound of vinyl records or digitize your collection, they provide convenience and flexibility.

Built-in Hi-Fi Speakers

Converts analog signals from records into audible sound. The tweeters reproduce high-frequency sounds, such as the sharp tones of instruments and high-pitched vocals, offering a more delicate listening experience. The woofers reproduce low-frequency sounds, such as drums and bass, providing a powerful and rich sound.

Wireless Bluetooth 5.0

Enjoy the freedom of wireless music with Bluetooth 5.0. Pair your phone with your turntable quickly and easily, and experience superior sound quality with faster transmission speeds and a more stable connection.

Four-point Spring Suspension

This system isolates the turntable from external vibrations, effectively reducing the impact of external disturbances on platter rotation and enhancing sound purity.

Adjustable 33 and 45 RPM Speeds

33 RPM records are typically 12 inches in diameter, while 45 RPM records are usually 7 inches. Different speeds require different tracking forces to ensure the stylus accurately follows the grooves in the record.

Replaceable Magnetic Cartridge

Offers excellent value for money and delivers impressive sound quality. The ATN3600L typically comes with an elliptical diamond stylus, providing excellent tracking ability and durability.

12-Inch Full-Size Aluminum Platter

Aluminum's excellent rigidity significantly reduces platter warping, enhancing sound clarity and detail. The heavier weight effectively suppresses resonance, improving turntable stability.

Adjustable Counterweight

Allows you to fine-tune the tracking force for optimal sound reproduction, ensuring that you get the most out of your vinyl collection.

Aluminum S-shaped Tonearm

The aluminum material's low density reduces tracking force on the stylus, improving sensitivity. Its high rigidity effectively suppresses resonance, reducing distortion. The S-shaped design helps to compensate for horizontal tracking errors, enhancing soundstage and imaging.

Belt Drive System

Offers relatively stable rotation speeds, ensuring that records are played at the correct speed to prevent pitch distortion. The belt acts as a buffer, effectively protecting the motor and platter, extending equipment life.

Automatic Stop Function

After the record finishes playing, the tonearm automatically lifts, and the turntable stops spinning. This prevents the stylus and platter from being damaged due to accidental oversight.

RCA Output Function

RCA connectors provide a stable and reliable transmission of analog audio signals, minimizing interference and ensuring high-quality sound. RCA outputs typically offer stereo output, preserving the original stereo soundstage of vinyl records.

AUX Input Function

In addition to playing vinyl records, you can connect other audio devices such as digital music players and FM radios via the AUX input, transforming your turntable into a versatile audio system.

Looks great, sounds great. Perfect for the space. It's not SUPER loud but the sound quality is good - I live in an apartment so anything louder would probably kerfuffle my neighbors anyways. I love it so far!

Just got the package. Set up was simple. Good quality for the value. So far so good!

This product was a gift for my 15 year old daughter, and it has been amazing! The sound quality is great, and the ability to connect a cellular device has been perfect for my daughter!

Highly recommend. Really good quality, great speaker system. Has helpful instructions for setup.

IĄŻm newer to the vinyl world and my first turntable was just some cheapo suitcase one, but since my record collection is growing I figured it was time to upgrade my setup. I wanted to find something within budget, had good sound quality, built-in speakers, and was aesthetically pleasing. This turntable is a great bang for your buck!! I love the walnut finish and vintage look it has. I only really have my old one to compare to, but the sound difference is like night & day! Some of my albums that were skipping before no longer do so with this one.IĄŻve been listening to my records all day and so far IĄŻm VERY pleased.
