• Belt Drive System
  A system where a rubber belt connects a DC motor to a turntable, transferring power to rotate the platter.
• Bluetooth Input
  HQKZ008 wireless record player features a convenient Bluetooth input, allowing you to stream music directly from your smartphone or other Bluetooth-enabled device.
• Built-in HiFi Speakers
  Retrolife HiFi Record Player features a built-in 80-watt amplifier with dual 30-watt tweeters and 10-watt woofers for balanced audio.
• Manual Operation System
  Here's what manual operation typically involves:
  Starting and stopping the turntable: The user needs to physically place the stylus on the record and lift it off when finished.
  Changing speed: The user has to manually adjust the speed of the turntable to match the record's speed (33 1/3, 45 RPM).
  Cueing the arm: The user must manually move the tonearm to the desired starting point on the record.
  The HQKZ008 manual turntable can produce a warmer, more analog sound.
• Adjustable Counterweight
  A movable weight attached to the tonearm that can be adjusted to apply the correct tracking force to the stylus, ensuring accurate sound reproduction.
• Colored Light Stripe
  The primary function of a colored light stripe is to enhance the visual appeal of the turntable. It adds a touch of style and can create an ambient atmosphere in a listening room.
• Support 7" 10" 12" Record Size
  Accommodates a variety of record sizes, including 7", 10", and 12" formats.
• 70W Power Consumption
  Energy-efficient design with only 70 watts of power consumption.
• Replaceable ATN-3600L Cartridge
  Equipped with a user-replaceable ATN-3600L cartridge for extended product life.
• 33 1/3, 45RPM Speeds
  Capable of handling standard 33 1/3 and 45 RPM vinyl records.
• ±0.15% Wow and Flutter
  Offers exceptional speed stability with a wow and flutter measurement of ±0.15%.
• 0.10% Speed Variation
  Offers exceptional speed stability with a speed variation measurement of 0.10%.
• 60dB Signal to Noise
  Provides a 60dB signal-to-noise ratio, minimizing background noise and maximizing audio clarity.
• Tonearm Lift
  Features an automatic tonearm lift mechanism for added convenience and record protection.
• Tonearm Clip
  Protects the needle from damage when the turntable is moved.
• Built-in Preamp
  Equipped with a high-quality, built-in phono preamplifier for direct connection to a turntable.
• RCA Output
  Provides stereo analog audio output via RCA jacks.
• AUX Input
  HQKZ008's 3.5mm AUX input allows you to effortlessly connect your smartphone, tablet, or any other audio device for versatile playback options.
• LINE/PHONO Switch
  A switch that optimizes the input signal for different audio sources, ensuring optimal performance.
• Aluminum Platter
  Aluminum is a dense material with excellent damping properties. This means it effectively absorbs vibrations, minimizing unwanted resonances that can color the sound. By reducing resonance, aluminum platters contribute to a cleaner and more transparent soundstage.
• 12" Platter Diameter
  The diameter of the turntable's platter, is the rotating platform where the record is placed. In this case, the diameter of the HQKZ008 record player is 12 inches.

• Static Balanced, Straight-Type
  This means the tonearm is balanced when it's in a horizontal position, and the pivot point is a straight, vertical line. This design helps to reduce friction and improve sound quality.
• Cueing Lever
  A lever that is used to manually lift the tonearm away from the record. This is often used to prevent damage to the stylus when starting or stopping playback.
• 36 AWG Litz Cable / 7 Strand Tonearm Wire
  This refers to the wiring used in the tonearm. 36 AWG is a measure of the wire's thickness, and "Litz" refers to a type of stranded wire that reduces skin effect and improves high-frequency response. 7-strand means there are 7 individual wires bundled together to form a single cable.
• 0.74 oz (21.1 g) Effective Tonearm Mass
  This is the weight of the tonearm, which affects how the tonearm tracks the record and interacts with the cartridge. A lower mass typically allows for better tracking and higher frequencies.
• 0.76 inches (19.2 mm) Overhang
  Overhang refers to the horizontal distance between the stylus tip and the vertical line that passes through the tonearm pivot. This measurement is important for proper cartridge alignment.
• 8.6 inches (218.5 mm) Effective Tonearm Length
  This is the distance from the tonearm pivot to the stylus tip. This measurement is also important for cartridge alignment and tracking.

• 2.5 mA Output Voltage
  This refers to the electrical signal produced by the cartridge when it vibrates in response to the grooves on a vinyl record. A higher output voltage typically means less amplification is needed from the phono preamp.
• 20Hz-20kHz Frequency Response
  This specifies the range of frequencies that the cartridge can accurately reproduce. A wider frequency response generally results in a more natural and detailed sound.
• 18dB Channel Balance
  This indicates how well the left and right channels of the cartridge match in terms of output level. A lower number means better channel balance, which is crucial for stereo imaging.
• ＞18dB Channel Separation
  This measures the isolation between the left and right channels at specific frequencies. Higher numbers indicate better channel separation, reducing crosstalk between channels.
• 3.5±0.5g Recommended Tracking Force
  Tracking force refers to the downward pressure applied by the stylus onto the record. The specified range indicates the optimal tracking force for this cartridge to ensure proper contact with the record groove.
  
  To remove old stylus (needle), hold the cartridge in one hand, grasp the plastic stylus housing with thumb and forefinger, and pull away from the cartridge. The stylus assembly comes away at a slight angle, as indicated by the arrow.
  
  To install replacement stylus, insert the new stylus assembly into the cartridge at a slight angle, so the hook at the end of the stylus fits into the slot in the cartridge body. The stylus assembly should click into place when fully seated on the cartridge. The stylus must be fully seated on the body for proper operation.
