Victrola's New Compact Bluetooth Speaker Enhances Turntables

Renowned for its turntables, Victrola recently showcased their latest product, the Soundstage speaker, at CES. This slim device is designed to fit directly beneath turntables, offering a compact alternative to traditional stereo systems. Although not the pioneer in this functionality, this model boasts cutting-edge features.

Connectivity Options Galore

Equipped with multiple connectivity choices, such as Bluetooth, the Soundstage easily integrates with modern Victrola turntables capable of wireless audio streaming, simplifying installation. For those without Bluetooth-enabled turntables, external receivers are also an option.

Additionally, it supports wired connections, including USB-C, thereby facilitating connections with various devices like smartphones and computers. It also supports Auracast, enabling synchronization with multiple speakers.

Designed for Superior Sound

In terms of acoustics, Victrola touts the Soundstage's impressive audio quality due to its 'vibration-isolated design.' It includes a specialized woofer for enhanced bass and balanced mode radiators to achieve stereo clarity. While it may not completely replace a high-end audio setup, it significantly reduces cable clutter.

Availability and Pricing

Scheduled to launch this summer, the Soundstage is priced at $350. Consumers can choose from various finishes, including walnut and black.
