For those looking to listen to their vinyl record collection, but don’t want to give up technology, Harman has announced that it will launch a new record player. The device was named after JBL Spinner BT and it will arrive in 2023. The American company pointed out that the two main features of the gadget are support for Bluetooth 5.2 and its sound quality. Something quite demanded by enthusiasts of the good old LP.
The novelty came out of thin air at CES 2023. Its finish has orange details and black as predominant. To offer sound quality, the first point that deserves attention is the addition of the stylus in an Audio-Technica brand moving magnet cartridge. Thus, replacing the item promises to be smooth, but relatively costly.
For those who raised an eyebrow when seeing that the device uses Bluetooth, JBL says there is no need to worry. Support for feature version 5.2 makes it easy to connect to just about any soundbar, headphones or speakers out there. As the transmission is 24-bit in high resolution, the company says no sacrifices will be made on the audio part.
On the other hand, if the user prefers to guarantee the most authentic sound possible, the brand has guaranteed that the record player will have the option of analog outputs.
The JBL Spinner BT will hit stores in the fall and will cost US$399. It is important to remember that to be launched in Brazil, the stereo will need to pass through Anatel first.
