Frequently Asked Questions
Can I connect the turntable to other, more powerful speakers?
Yes, the unit has a stereo RCA line output on the back, allowing you to connect it to an external amplifier, mixing console, or active speaker system if you wish to expand the power in the future.
Can Bluetooth be used to connect wireless headphones?
No, the RP165's Bluetooth function acts as a receiver. This means you can send music from your mobile phone *to* the turntable to listen to it through its speakers, but you can't send the sound from the vinyl *to* Bluetooth headphones.
Is the needle replaceable?
Yes, the stylus on the ceramic cartridge is replaceable. It's recommended to change it periodically depending on usage to maintain the best sound quality and protect your records.
Does it work for old shellac records (78 RPM)?
Yes, the RP165 supports 78 RPM. However, for very old shellac records, experts recommend purchasing a 78 RPM stylus for best results and to avoid damage, although a standard stylus will technically work.
