Lab Advice: Ideal Starter Package. If price and ease of use are key in your decision, this package is perfect. It has everything you need to enjoy vinyl. The AT-LP60X turntable is an industry standard in its price range, sturdy and reliable. The Edifier R1280DB speakers have a built-in amp, Bluetooth for non-vinyl streaming, EQ controls, and removable grills. This is our most popular budget bundle. Lab-configured, it includes all essentials to play and listen to records. The turntable has start-stop buttons, auto-needle placement, and the motor stops at the end. Powered speakers plug directly into the turntable. It comes with a dustcover, cartridge, and cables. Freebies include a Record Mat, Record Brush, free shipping to the Continental US, and VIP program enrollment. Turntable dimensions are 14.7 x 3.84 x 14.17 inches (373 x 97.5 x 360mm), and speaker dimensions are 5.75 x 9.5 x 7 inches (146 x 241 x 177mm). This is an affordable setup without sacrificing quality. The turntable and speakers are well-reviewed. The Edifier speakers offer great value with Bluetooth and EQ. Upgrade available: Select +BLUETOOTH for the AT-LP60xBT turntable, enabling wireless connection. The Edifier speakers come with Bluetooth by default. Package includes one Audio-Technica AT-LP60X turntable, two Edifier R1280DB powered speakers, one Record Mat, one Carbon Fiber Brush, and a Lab folder with a visual setup guide. Free upgrade to the Edifier R1280DB 'S Model' includes subwoofer output, improved TI amplifiers, sound specializer control, and an improved remote control. As Engadget said, 'Our favorite tech in 2024... great value for $300.'
Using your turntable package is easy. First, unpack all the items. Place the turntable on a flat and stable surface. Connect the powered Edifier speakers directly to the turntable using the included cables. You don't need an extra amp. If you want to use Bluetooth, pair your devices with the speakers or the upgraded turntable (if you choose the Bluetooth option). To play a vinyl record, just press the start button, and the needle will automatically place on the record. You can also place it manually. When the record ends, the motor will stop. Remember to handle the records carefully, using the included carbon fiber brush to clean them regularly. Keep the turntable dustcover on when not in use to protect it from dust. For the speakers, you can adjust the EQ controls to get your preferred sound. If you want a deeper bass, you can connect a subwoofer to the 'S Model' speakers. And don't forget to keep the record mat clean for better sound quality. Enjoy your vinyl listening experience!
