JBL SPINNER BT: unleashing a new era of wireless vinyl listening

Bluetooth-enabled turntable offers vibrant design, providing wireless vinyl playback without sacrificing audio quality

Amsterdam, 15th November 2023 - With a vibrant design, the versatile JBL Spinner BT Bluetooth-enabled turntable allows listeners to enjoy their records wirelessly without sacrificing audio quality.

The JBL Spinner BT pairs easily with portable speakers, soundbars, and headphones via Bluetooth for wireless vinyl playback, with aptX™ HD encoding ensuring that the authentic sound of records isn’t compromised. For a wired connection, the turntable features analog output with a switchable moving magnet phono stage perfect for use with traditional component audio systems or active loudspeaker systems.

Easy on the eyes, the unit’s sleek design consists of an aluminum platter and tonearm, black MDF plinth with gold or JBL orange accents, a contemporary front panel, and a hinged dust cover.

Playing records in perfect time at 33 1/3 rpm for LPs and 45 rpm for EPs and singles, the

Spinner BT’s speeds are locked with a speed sensor to guarantee perfect pitch from the belt-driven aluminum platter. The tonearm features a high-quality Audio Technica moving magnet cartridge pre-installed on a removable headshell for easy replacement and upgrading. The turntable’s feet are damped to reduce vibration ingress to records.

“The JBL Spinner BT is a testament to the joy of music and vinyl,” said Carsten Olesen, President of Consumer Audio, at HARMAN. “With Bluetooth 5.2 technology, the turntable provides listeners with an instant wireless connection to their record collections — allowing them to enjoy their albums without losing the signature sound of vinyl. And with its analog output and integrated phono preamplifier, the Spinner BT is equally at home with purists who prefer a wired connection.”
