Fenton RP102A - Turntable with Speakers, Bluetooth and USB (Aluminum and Wood Finish)
Rediscover the magic of vinyl without sacrificing modern technology with the Fenton RP102A . This turntable is much more than just a record player; it's a complete multimedia center designed for music lovers seeking style, versatility, and functionality in a single device. With an elegant design that combines a dark wood casing with an aluminum-finished front panel, the RP102A blends seamlessly into both classic and contemporary décor, adding a touch of retro distinction.
The listening experience is immediate thanks to its built-in full-range stereo speakers . You don't need external amplifiers or complex wiring setups to start enjoying your albums; simply turn it on, place the needle, and let the music flow. However, if you're looking for more power for a party or a critical listening session, the RP102A includes a stereo RCA line output , allowing you to easily connect it to your home Hi-Fi system or more powerful active speakers.
What truly sets the RP102A apart is its hybrid capability. It features a built-in Bluetooth receiver , transforming the turntable into a modern wireless speaker. This means that when you're not spinning records, you can pair your smartphone, tablet, or laptop and stream your favorite digital music (Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music) directly through the turntable's speakers. Furthermore, for collectors who want to preserve their musical treasures, the system includes USB recording functionality. With the included cable and software, you can digitize your vinyl records and convert them to MP3 format to take with you on your mobile device or save to your computer.
Technically, the turntable is ready to handle any collection. Its belt-drive system absorbs motor vibrations for a cleaner sound, and the three-speed selector (33 1/3, 45, and 78 RPM) ensures compatibility with 12-inch LPs, 7-inch singles, and even vintage 10-inch shellac records (single adapter included). The tonearm features an auto-stop function, which stops the platter's rotation when the record finishes, preventing unnecessary wear on the stylus and vinyl.
