Product Information

Le + : BlueTooth in pour diffuser la musique du smartphone, et BT out pour diffuser le son sur enceintes BT Next up, I decided to try something that would work with the mono speaker, choosing " King Harvest" by The Band. This worked perfectly with this speaker. All the instruments were well represented, even the bass, and even as I pushed the volume past comfortable volume levels, I didn't notice any audible distortion. The tonearm is being held in place by the holder beside the turntable. Just release this, then place the arm above the edge of the record. It will start turning, and you can use the cue lever to lower the needle. The Eastwood ships with an external power supply instead of utilizing an internal power supply used by more expensive turntables.

We had no trouble at all getting the Victrola Eastwood up and running. While many record players require a good half-hour pouring over the instruction manual to figure out where various components might fit, the Eastwood works pretty much straight out of the box. The needle has a protective cover that needs to be removed, and then all that's left is to plug it in. Keeping with the general suitability for younger music lovers, the Eastwood works independently without needing additional speakers. An external sound system would absolutely help to enhance the experience, but for those short on space, the in-built speakers are good enough. Victrola Eastwood Turntable: Set-up It also lets you connect to a Bluetooth speaker, which is really amazing! Pop on your favorite record and play the audio through Bluetooth speakers set up strategically around your house.

As the Eastwood is most likely to be used in Phono mode, we tested this first. To play your record, lift the clear plastic dust cover and place it on the turntable. The compact design means that the record won't actually fit perfectly, and you won't be able to close the dust cover again without removing it. Still, the visual effect is nice. Vinyl loving aficionados want nothing but the absolute best for their incredible record collections. In this case, they do not want grime, dirt, or dust accumulating on their records or record player. That would be an unforgivable sacrilege and completely go against everything that they hold sacred. And so, the Eastwood doesn't require additional speakers and can even function as a Bluetooth speaker on its own. The bamboo-effect finish is attractive enough to keep the player on display, but it's also lightweight enough to only have out on special occasions.The Victrola Eastwood is an eye-catchingly unique take on the record player, blending traditional features with modern convenience. The Eastwood turntable by Victrola is a 3-speed record player with Dual-Bluetooth connectivity that allows you to stream music from a smart device to its speakers, or stream records from it to any external Bluetooth speaker or headphone. The ability to stream out to Bluetooth devices is pretty significant. Most turntables in this price range have Bluetooth functionality, but rarely does that include a Bluetooth Out option. The majority of Bluetooth turntables only allow you to stream sound to the device, and since turntables in this price range rarely have quality speakers, the Eastwood being no exception, it’s kind of a pointless feature in my opinion.

The buttons control power, record play functions, and Bluetooth Out pairing. The knobs control volume and switching between phono play and Bluetooth In operation.

The tonearm is fixed in place by its holder, which you need to release. You then move the arm to the edge of your record, and it will start to turn. Then use the cue lever to lower the needle onto the disc. It should start playing. It also has built-in speakers and Bluetooth – Victrola says you can ‘listen your way’ and promises ‘premium, unmatched sound’. Finally, I tried something more complex musically, but not necessarily in choice of instrumentation, playing Faraquet's " Parakeet." The clean guitar sounded great, and the bass came through loud and clear. There is still a quality here---some might say "vintage" while others would say "lo-fi"---but it worked for the sound.I didn’t experience this personally, but I noticed that one customer complained that they had a difficult time connecting their turntable to their Bluetooth speakers. Nélkülözhetetlen sütik Ezek elengedhetetlenek a weboldal és funkcióinak működéséhez, amelyek használatáról Ön dönt. Nélkülük nem működne a weboldalunk, például nem tudna bejelentkezni saját fiókjába, vagy bevásárlói listákat létrehozni. When I connect my phone to the turntable via Bluetooth, and I play my favorite MP3s, the audio seems to come out of the turntable speaker so much louder than it does when I play records. It has the hallmark old-school belt-drive operation of a ProJect model. The belt is accessible from the top of the plinth to change the speed between 33rpm and 45rpm records. There’s one large knob to control power, volume and connectivity modes situated near the front of the turntable. Holding it down for two seconds will turn the turntable on and off. Turning it will control the volume. And, pressing it will let you cycle through three connectivity modes: Vinyl, Vinyl Stream, and Bluetooth mode. Pairing is incredibly simple with the latter two modes. Speaking of, Vinyl Stream is a somewhat unique concept where you can use the functionality of the turntable while using an external speaker system via Bluetooth. It’s a nice, if somewhat niche, feature that makes sense if you have access to a larger Bluetooth-enabled sound system and want to connect a turntable.

Controls on the Victrola Eastwood Bluetooth Turntable are pretty self-explanatory and intuitive, and we only needed to give instructions a glance before diving in. Once you have hit the 'on' button and turned the knob to phono mode, you can open the clear plastic dust cover and place your chosen record on the turntable. Don't be alarmed when your disc doesn't fit, this is part of the design. Le + : Emetteur Bluetooth intégré, permet d'y connecter des enceintes Bluetooth grâce au pré ampli intégré Whenever I put on a record in the old days, I had to play said record for everyone to hear at home. Now, if I prefer to avoid disturbing my family because they’re busy doing other things, I simply plug in my headphones or connect earbuds via Bluetooth and listen to my MP3s or vinyl records without disturbing the people that I love the most. Since there aren't a whole bunch of turntables out there with built-in battery life, it’s hard to say whether the battery life is good or not. After all, there are a lot more moving parts with a turntable than with a portable Bluetooth speaker, where you can expect up to 18 hours of battery life depending on the model. Of course, there are some that will give you just 12 hours like the Revolution Go is advertised as having. The Victrola Eastwood 3-Speed Bluetooth Turntable makes the answers to these questions seem obvious, and for a very affordable price, too. An all-in-one solution that almost everyone can work out how to use, it also makes two-way Bluetooth connectivity part of its feature set.

Setup

But, it's the sound quality that keeps me from saying it’s great. It has a very colored sound that most people getting into vinyl will enjoy. It’s warm with a slightly overemphasized mid-range and slightly rolled-off high-end that will give everything that vinyl warmth, even when you’re using it as a Bluetooth speaker. It actually surprised me by the quality. However, it has the kind of sound that future audiophiles will eventually find a bit too colored. Of course, this is not meant as a HiFi product. And, for its price, functionality and features, it’s hard to ask for more. But, if you’re hoping for a transcendental auditory experience, you won’t find it here.

Több információ a jogairól. While I admit that the audio volume for records is lower than MP3s via Bluetooth player, I also noticed an anomaly that you might be experiencing. When it comes to vinyl and record players, there is a lot of ingrained wisdom, opinions and advice out there. Bringing together music-loving baby boomers and the newly-converted millennial and Gen Z generations, it can be a hard world to get to grips with. Should you go for a component player or something all-in-one? Do you need external speakers? Is it worth the hassle? If you've ever seen an audio player before, you will probably get on well with the Eastwood without even looking at the instruction manual (though we recommend you do!). As previously said, the controls are all clearly labelled, with the pause/play and skip buttons placed next to the power control. The volume control and Bluetooth to Phono switch are on the other side of the display.
