Fenton RP118E - Suitcase Turntable with Bluetooth Transmitter/Receiver and USB (Blue)
Discover the perfect fusion of retro aesthetics and modern connectivity with the Fenton RP118E . This turntable is more than just a vinyl player; it's a complete audio station encapsulated in a sleek, blue briefcase -style design. Designed for music lovers who appreciate both the nostalgia of analog and the convenience of digital technology, this unit stands out for its exceptional versatility.
The standout feature of the RP118E is its advanced bi-directional Bluetooth (In/Out) technology. Unlike most conventional turntables that only function as receivers, this model offers complete freedom: you can use it as a receiver to stream music from your smartphone to its built-in speakers, or activate transmitter mode to send audio from your vinyl records directly to your external Bluetooth headphones or speakers. This eliminates the need for extra cables and allows you to enjoy your record collection with maximum privacy or enhance the sound through your wireless Hi-Fi system.
Built with a robust wooden casing and covered in a vibrant blue PU leather finish, the RP118E combines durability with a sophisticated feel. Its high-precision belt-drive mechanism absorbs motor vibrations, ensuring smooth and faithful playback. Furthermore, it's a perfect companion for music preservation: thanks to its USB port and included software, you can easily digitize your favorite vinyl records, converting them to MP3 format to take with you on any digital device.
