Product Details
Adjustable Counterweight = Better Sound & Vinyl Protection
Unlike other suitcase turntables with non-adjustable tonearms, Retrolife’s adjustable counterweight allows easy setup for smoother playback and less record wear.



Trusted Cartridge, Superior Sound
Equipped with a premium Audio-Technica cartridge, the R601 suitcase record player delivers clear, detailed sound while protecting your records which is perfect for vinyl lovers who want rich, authentic playback.
Our new R601 record player now includes Bluetooth output, so you can connect it to your wireless speakers (like those from Bose) and enjoy your vinyl wirelessly.
1.Set Up the Turntable:Plug your record player in and put a vinyl record on the platter. Make sure it's ready to play.
2.Turn on Bluetooth Output:Turn the Bluetooth mode switch to the Bluetooth Out position. You'll see the light start to flash, which means it’s looking for a device.
3.Put Your Speaker in Pairing Mode:Turn on your Bluetooth speaker or headphones and make sure they’re in pairing mode. (You may need to check your speaker's manual for this step.)
4.Wait for It to Connect:The turntable will automatically find your speaker. Once it's paired, the flashing lights on both devices will become solid. Now you're ready to play your records through your external speaker!
Tips:This record player supports Bluetooth versions 5.3 and below.
For the best connection, keep your speaker within about 10 meters (33 feet) of the turntable.
The R601 record player uses an Audio-Technica ATN-3600L MM stylus.
