Eltax, developer of accessible, easy-to-use audio equipment, has unveiled its first all-in-one turntable. The Eltax Spinster integrates a turntable, phono preamp and stereo drivers to form a functional plug-and-play solution. This model, designed to make vinyl listening even more universal, boasts a modern design and practical features.
An all-in-one vinyl solution for simplified listening sessions
The Eltax Spinster turntable stands out for its ease of use and compact size. Unlike traditional turntables, which require an amplifier, phono preamp and stereo speakers in addition to the record player, the Spinster combines all these separate elements in a single unit.
This manual turntable incorporates its own 2″ stereo drivers powered by 2 x 8 watts, and simply needs to be connected to a power source to operate. This means you can enjoy a musical experience right out of the box, without worrying about the various connections. This simplified approach is ideal for discovering the world of vinyl without getting lost in the technical details. In this way, the Eltax Spinster promises a functional plug-and-play experience.
An authentic sound experience
Although the Spinster is aimed primarily at vinyl novices, it remains a reliable piece of audio equipment. For example, it features an Audio-Technica AT-3600L moving magnet cartridge. This model, with its conical stylus, is widely used by turntable manufacturers in this price range. The stylus of this phono cartridge, renowned for its warm reproduction, is easily replaceable.
Thanks to its Bluetooth 5.3 module, the Eltax Spinster turntable can also transmit the audio signal to a Bluetooth speaker, or even to headphones for a solo listening session. This wireless connection also enables the all-in-one turntable to receive an audio signal from a compatible smartphone, tablet or computer. This transforms it into a Bluetooth speaker, revealing the full extent of its versatility. An auxiliary RCA input is also included, for use with a CD player, for example.
This dual functionality is ideal for music lovers who not only want to rediscover vinyl, but also listen to their digital music without having to handle multiple devices. This blend of tradition and modernity enables the Eltax Spinster turntable to adapt to the needs of every user, whether they are a vinyl lover or digital music enthusiast.
Eltax Spinster: a compact, elegant design
By combining all the elements of a vinyl system in a single device, the Eltax Spinster turntable naturally has a slightly larger format than a conventional turntable. However, it remains more compact than a complete vinyl system, as its 40.5cm wide by 33.5cm deep chassis accommodates everything you need to listen to your records.
The design of this turntable is one of elegant simplicity. With its clean lines and meticulous finish, it will fit into any interior. Its compact format makes it easy to install in any room, without taking up too much space. This aesthetic choice makes the turntable not only a functional object, but also a decorative element that blends perfectly into any environment.
