Sony launches two turntables for new and seasoned vinyl collectors in Singapore


Sony has launched two fully automatic, wireless vinyl turntables in Singapore. They are the PS-LX3BT and PS-LX5BT, and are made for newbie vinyl collectors and seasoned listeners, respectively.

According to Sony, the turntables are simple to operate, and they pack a robust suite of audio connectivity options. Both models have one-button full-auto playback (no need to cue the tonearm), and their Bluetooth connectivity supports Qualcomm aptX, aptX Adaptive, and Hi-Res Wireless Audio.

They also support USB output with three-level gain control, and include the cartridge, aluminium platter, and transparent dust cover. Both can play 331/3 and 45 RPM records (7-inch and 12-inch).

The specifics for each turntable are below.

Designed for vinyl newcomers, PS-LX3BT offers a built-in phono equaliser (the component that converts and amplifies the turntable signal for your wireless speakers or headphones). It also has a pre-attached audio cable with its phono/line switch on the back, making it widely compatible with various wired audio setups.

This turntable weighs 3.5kg and is 430 x 366mm wide. The arm pipe is aluminium, with an aluminium die-cast alloy for the platter (the plate where your records sit when playing).

Besides the aluminium tonearm with a reinforced headshell, it also uses a rigid one-piece body, a rubber mat, and a circuit design to minimise distortion and preserve sound purity.
