FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can you add speakers to Victrola record player?****

Can I connect my turntable directly to speakers?****
Some powered bookshelf speaker sets, like the Klipsch R-51PM, feature phono inputs, allowing them to be connected directly to turntables without phono preamps. However, you must use a turntable with an integrated phono preamp or connect an additional phono preamp between the turntable and the speakers if you are using powered speakers.
Can you use a Bluetooth speaker with a turntable?****
The transmitter needs to be connected to the turntable’s RCA output if it has an integrated preamp. Connect the transmitter to the phono output on your external preamp if you have one. You may pair your turntable with any Bluetooth-enabled speaker or amplifier once your transmitter is connected.
Can you Bluetooth to a Victrola record player?****
Each Victrola player features Bluetooth input, so you can pair it with any phone or streaming device to play music wirelessly.
Does Victrola record player need speakers?****

Do Bluetooth speakers work without Wi-Fi?****
Yes, they can work without Wi-Fi.
What is the difference between Bluetooth and wireless speakers?****
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are the two available wireless technologies. Your home network is connected through Wi-Fi speakers. They often need an outlet because the majority run on AC power. Bluetooth speakers connect directly to a computer, phone, or other device.
What are the disadvantages of wireless speakers?****
A minor audio delay that can vary depending on the source is frequently one of the main problems that you’ll experience with wireless speakers. Similar to how your router sends a wireless Internet signal, audio data must be delivered wirelessly in order to reach the speakers.
Are bigger speakers better than small?****
Yes, to answer briefly. The size and cost advantages of small speakers may be greater than those of larger speakers, but this is only true if you choose a high-end new model. Larger speakers perform better than smaller ones. And in general, everyone looks for a speaker’s performance the most.
