Sony has launched two fully automatic, wireless vinyl turntables in Singapore. They are the PS-LX3BT<\/b> and PS-LX5BT<\/b>, and are made for newbie vinyl collectors and seasoned listeners, respectively.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n Image: Sony Singapore.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n 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<\/sup> and 45 RPM records (7-inch and 12-inch).<\/p>\n The specifics for each turntable are below.<\/p>\n Sony PS-LX3BT.<\/p>\n Image: Sony Singapore.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n 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.<\/p>\n Sony PS-LX3BT.<\/p>\n Image: Sony Singapore.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n This turntable weighs 3.5kg and is 430 x 366mm wide.
