New to Vinyl

All-in-One Record Player:
Comes with built-in speakers — just plug in and play. Great for beginners, but sound quality is basic.

Turntable + Speaker Set:
Includes a separate turntable and external speakers. Needs to be connected, but offers much better sound.

Standalone Turntable:
Just the turntable — no speakers included. Requires external speakers or amplifier; best for advanced users.

Yes, most models support RCA or Bluetooth output for external speaker upgrades.

No, standalone turntables need to be connected to powered speakers.

Only if the turntable (HQKZ-006, HQKZ-006 Pro) has Bluetooth output. Some models (R517, HQ-KZ018, R512, HQKZ008, R609, SY101, R612) only have Bluetooth input. *UD009 and UD006 support both Bluetooth input and Bluetooth output functions.

Bluetooth input lets you stream music to the turntable from your phone.
Bluetooth output lets you send vinyl audio from the turntable to a Bluetooth speaker.

Yes, external speakers usually offer fuller, richer sound than built-in speakers.

Most models support 33 1/3 and 45 RPM; some also support 78 RPM for older records.

No, you don’t need a preamp.
Our all-in-one record players and turntable speaker sets come with a built-in preamp, so you can enjoy your vinyl right out of the box.

Yes, if the model (R612, R609) has a headphone jack or is connected to a device that supports it.

Yes, all models include a pre-installed stylus ready to play.

Absolutely. Most cartridges are replaceable and some models support upgrades.

Yes, many models (SY101, UD006, HQKZ-006, HQKZ-006 Pro, ICE1, UD009) support USB recording to convert vinyl to digital files.

You can play 7”, 10”, and 12” vinyl records, depending on the turntable.

Not at the moment. Most soundbars use a different Bluetooth protocol that isn’t compatible with turntable Bluetooth output. We recommend using RCA-connected speakers or Bluetooth speakers designed for music playback.

No, Bluetooth works without Wi-Fi. It’s a direct wireless connection.
