Unlike all-in-one record players with speakers built into the same unit, these systems feature a separate turntable and external stereo speakers. This design lets you position the speakers independently for a wider stereo soundstage and a more enjoyable listening experience, while keeping the classic look of a vinyl setup.

Yes. All four models in this collection: UD006, UD016, SY101, and R612, come with separate external speakers. You get a coordinated record player and speaker system without needing to purchase a separate set of speakers.

Bluetooth functionality varies by model.

R612, R612 Pro, and SY101 support Bluetooth input, allowing you to stream music from a phone or tablet through the connected speakers.

UD006 and UD016 support both Bluetooth input and output.

Bluetooth input lets you bring digital music into the system. Bluetooth output lets you send vinyl playback to compatible Bluetooth speakers or headphones.

If wireless vinyl listening is important to you, choose a model with Bluetooth output rather than Bluetooth input only.

Built-in speakers keep everything in one compact unit. Separate speakers give you more flexibility in placement and allow the left and right channels to be spaced apart, helping create a wider stereo image. This makes a separate-speaker system a great choice for listeners who want a more spacious sound experience at home.

These sets include their matching external speakers, so you don't need to buy a separate amplifier for the standard setup. Follow the connection instructions supplied with your model. An additional amplifier or receiver may be needed only if you want to integrate other audio equipment.

Start by placing the speakers a few feet apart, on either side of your record player or listening area. Keep them at a similar height and angle them slightly toward your seating position. Because the speakers are separate from the turntable, you can experiment with their placement to find a balanced stereo sound that suits your room.

The included speakers connect to the record player through speaker wires. Bluetooth on the record player serves a different purpose and does not make the included speakers wireless. The external speaker design still gives you the flexibility to position the speakers separately.

If your model provides a LINE/PHONO switch, use LINE when connecting to powered speakers or an audio input without a phono preamp. Use PHONO when connecting to a compatible PHONO input on an amplifier or receiver. The correct setting depends on your model and the equipment you're using, so consult the manual before changing connections.
