The Andover Audio Spinbase 2 is a top - notch speaker system crafted specifically for turntables, and it also offers Bluetooth connectivity. This updated '2' model has significant improvements in sound, functionality, and design. It uses Isogroove Technology, developed by a team with experience at Cambridge SoundWorks, A/D/S, and JBL, which virtually eliminates vibration and feedback issues. With 70w peak power, it's perfect for small - medium sized rooms and delivers a 270o room - filling, expansive sound. When you're not listening to vinyl, you can connect to the speaker via Bluetooth. It features a built - in phono preamp that can be switched off for turntables with their own preamp. There are also bass + treble EQ controls and a full array of analog + digital inputs. The stealth display lights up beneath the heathered fabric grille. It has a minimal design and a sturdy metal construction, weighing 11 lbs. Compared to the original SpinBase, the SpinBase 2 uses Andover's Dual Direct Drive amplification design for richer, clearer sound. It also has Bluetooth send + receive, a wider range of inputs like Phono, Line, Optical Digital, and USB output. There's a full - featured remote, an easily accessible headphone input on the side, a new visual design with a heathered fabric grille, and a selectable 100Hz high - pass filter. Tech specs include a 70W total peak power, 1.75' x 4' oval woofers, 20mm soft dome tweeters, phono RCA and 3.5mm AUX inputs, a frequency range of 60Hz - 20kHz, dimensions of 13.5(l)' x 18(w)' x 3.25(h)' / 343 x 457 x 83mm, and it weighs 11 lbs. / 5 kg. It comes with a remote control, an RCA cable with ground, and a power supply.
Using the Andover Audio Spinbase 2 is a breeze. First, connect it to your turntable using the RCA cable with ground. If your turntable has its own preamp, you can switch off the built - in phono preamp of the Spinbase 2. For non - vinyl listening, pair your device with the speaker via Bluetooth. You can adjust the sound using the bass and treble EQ controls. The remote control makes it easy to operate from a distance. When it comes to placement, thanks to the Isogroove Technology, you can place the Spinbase 2 directly under your turntable. Just make sure to place it on a flat and stable surface. As for maintenance, keep the heathered fabric grille clean by gently dusting it regularly. Avoid exposing the speaker to extreme temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight. If you're not using it for a long time, unplug the power supply. With proper use and care, your Spinbase 2 will provide great sound for years to come.
