Unveiled at the Munich High End, the FiiO TT13 BT turntable is now in stock on Son-Vidéo.com for €249! This automatic, belt-driven model combines the charm of analog sound with state-of-the-art technologies such as a Bluetooth transmitter and integrated LED lights. The FiiO TT13 BT turntable is also available in a non-Bluetooth version for €229.
FiiO TT13 BT, new functions
To set itself apart in the turntable market, FiiO has opted for a modern design and offers an advanced model at a competitive price. The TT13 BT features an aluminum chassis and LED lighting for the logo and under the platter, with seven customizable colors. The latter are reminiscent of those found on the FiiO SP3 BT PC speakers. The LEDs can be adjusted with their four brightness levels to create a tailor-made ambience in the dark.
The FiiO TT13 BT turntable not only looks good, it also boasts modern technologies never before seen on a record player. First and foremost, the turntable features a Repeat function, which allows you to restart vinyl record playback from the beginning. This feature can be accessed via a button on the turntable or directly from the remote control.
While the integrated phono preamp cannot be deactivated, the FiiO TT13 BT turntable remains upgradeable. It features an integrated switched-mode power supply, supporting a wide range of 100-240V AC voltages, but is also compatible with a separate DC power supply (12V 1A). Another special feature of the TT13 BT is the balance adjustment potentiometer. Located on the rear of the turntable, it adjusts the sound reproduction according to the distance of the speakers from the listening area. So, when the TT13 BT is combined with active speakers, the balance adjustment offers greater freedom of placement.
FiiO, a strategy to support physical media
The FiiO TT13 BT turntable marks the Chinese manufacturer’s entry into the record player market. This launch is in line with the brand’s desire to offer equipment dedicated to physical media. Following on from the FiiO DM13 portable CD player and the FiiO CP13 cassette player, the firm is now rolling out its first turntable.
The FiiO TT13 BT turntable is an automatic model. It is therefore an ideal solution for music lovers looking for an easy-to-use record player. Featuring a phono preamp, a pre-mounted Audio-Technica AT-3600L cartridge and a remote control, it’s a true plug-and-play solution. The Bluetooth transmitter, which supports High Definition codecs such as aptX LL and aptX HD, enables music from records to be streamed wirelessly to compatible speakers.
The FiiO TT13 BT turntable, as well as the FiiO TT13 standard version, which is identical apart from the absence of a Bluetooth transmitter, are available in black and silver finishes. The first units, which will be in stock on November 20 on Son-Vidéo.com, are already available for sale at €249 and €229 respectively.
