Crosley C62 Belt-Drive Bluetooth Turntable System with Included Speakers, Walnut

Product Information

Nothing about the design of the Crosley C62 is going to startle or perturb - it looks exactly as you’d expect a turntable and a pair of compact bookshelf speakers to look. It has a super minimal, two-knob design that makes it easy to switch speeds, crank up the volume, and switch to the built-in Bluetooth receiver.

Bass is woefully curtailed and lacks both presence and definition, while at the opposite end of the frequency range the Crosley achieves what until now I’d considered to be ‘the impossible’: treble sounds are simultaneously dull and sibilant.

The soundstage the Crosley creates is confined, vague and not especially easy to follow - it’s the audio equivalent of driving through fog.

If you have recently purchased a replacement power adaptor from a third party, it could have the wrong polarity for your turntable.

These can be used to connect the turntable to an external amp, perhaps, or a pair of active speakers - the Crosley has an integrated phono stage, so there’s a toggle for switching between ‘line’ and ‘phono’. At the rear there’s a small bass reflex port above a pair of spring-clip speaker cable terminals, and on the bottom of the cabinet some small silicone feet to make positioning on a shelf as simple as can be.

A quality record player with an aluminium platter, fully equipped with bluetooth, builtin amplifier and two external speakers. The Crosley C62 Shelf System is an all-in-one turntable and speaker system designed for music lovers and vinyl enthusiasts.

My older turntable didn’t have this feature and it took a read of the manual and quick check of some YouTube videos to ensure I dialed the tracking force in properly.

There are a few brands that will sell you a system as extensive as this for an outlay similarly modest, but Crosley is by far the highest-profile of the lot. Hey CROSLEY, one important note, all of your products should be available to ship in unlabeled boxes.

The super minimal, two-knob design makes it easy to switch speeds, crank up the volume and switch to the built-in Bluetooth receiver if you want to stream music from your favourite digital playlist. There’s a lot of nostalgia in this turntable for me as opening up and playing some old vinyl has been a great experience in the last week since I set it up.If using as a Phono output unit will need to be connected first to a phono pre-amp or the phono input of the stereo system. I’ve been meaning to upgrade for a long time from our suitcase turntable (which is also a Crosley, but a much smaller, and older model than this) in to something we could keep at home and place on some new shelving.
