Renowned audio manufacturer Crosley has set the stage for a new era of vinyl playback with the announcement of the C65 Record Player system. An embodiment of Crosley’s commitment to blend retro design with modern audio tech, the C65 is billed as a full music system for audiophiles and design enthusiasts alike.
A Seamless Blend of Vintage and Modern
The C65 Record Player, priced at £289, is a belt-drive turntable system that blends the charm of yesteryears with today’s advanced audio technologies. The system is powered by a pre-mounted moving-magnet Audio-Technica ATN3600L cartridge and delivers a powerful 50-watt stereo sound through its bookshelf speakers. To keep up with the evolving tastes of music lovers, the cartridge is upgradeable, thus ensuring the system grows with you.
The system also provides seamless Bluetooth 5.1 streaming, allowing users to stream their favorite playlists from their phones, making the most of the speaker system. The C65 also accommodates both 33 â…“ RPM and 45 RPM records and comes with all the essentials, including a 45-adapter, slip-mat, dust cover, cartridge alignment protractor, and a spare NP5 stylus.
Crosley’s Answer to the Future of Hi-Fi
Beyond just being a standalone system, the C65 also offers a switchable amp. This feature allows users to integrate the system into their existing or future Hi-Fi setup or powered/active speakers, making it a perfect stepping stone for those looking to upgrade from all-in-one record players.
Additional features, such as a full-size steel platter, an aluminum tonearm with a cue lever, adjustable pitch control, a belt-drive DC motor, and resonance-dampening feet, ensure a solid performance for anyone seeking a plug-and-play vinyl system.
Introducing the Miles Record Player
In addition to the C65, Crosley has also unveiled the Miles record player, a perfect entry point for anyone looking to delve into the world of vinyl. Priced at £114 / $99, the Miles Record Player is a no-fuss, user-friendly setup designed to get music lovers spinning their favorite records right out of the box.
The Miles record player accommodates 33 â…“, 45, and 78 RPM records and offers a Bluetooth connection for streaming tracks to the built-in speakers. It also has a headphone socket for private listening and supports Bluetooth headphones and speakers for greater flexibility.
Both the C65 and Miles record players will be available for purchase at major retailers like HMV, Amazon, and Gear4Music, as well as your favourite independent record stores.
