With a total output of 100W (50W per channel), this system fills the room with clear, defined sound, allowing you to rediscover the nuances of your favorite albums. Its belt-drive mechanism ensures smooth and consistent playback, minimizing motor noise so nothing interferes with the warmth of the analog sound.
In addition to being an excellent record player, the RP165D acts as a versatile multimedia center. It incorporates Bluetooth technology , transforming the system into a high-quality wireless speaker. This means that when you're not spinning vinyl, you can stream your favorite digital music from platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube directly from your smartphone, tablet, or laptop, taking full advantage of the acoustics of its full-range speakers.
