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

Product Information

The speakers are a compact (250 x 159 x 159mm, HxWxD) two-way design, with a soft-dome tweeter above a treated-paper mid/bass driver behind their detachable cloth grilles. 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. Switch to the Bluetooth wireless input, and at least that rather queasy sensation of rotational instability disappears. Two speed modes (33 1/3 and 45 RPM) and compatibility with all vinyl sizes mean that the C62 can handle anything.

Of the brands vying to part you for similar money for a similar level of functionality, Crosley is by a distance the most high-profile of the lot.

This is a “manual” turntable and you’ll need to move the tonearm on the record and move it back after it’s done playing. The Crosley C62 Shelf System is an all-in-one turntable and speaker system designed for music lovers and vinyl enthusiasts.If you are looking for a system that you can hook up and enjoy, I highly recommend giving this unit a shot! At the rear of the turntable there are spring-clips for connecting the deck to its partnering speakers, and a pair of stereo RCA outputs. The matching MDF speakers look just as good as the turntable and each rock a mid[1]range speaker and tweeter. This is not a lot of money to be spending on a turntable and a pair of speakers – so it follows that not much by way of designing has gone on here.

The matching MDF speakers look just as good as the turntable and each rock a mid-range speaker and tweeter. As is only to be expected in a product at this sort of money, there’s nothing remarkable about the way the components are finished - corners are pointy, tactility is negligible.Spending this much money was no easy decision, and to be told that crosley expects me to upgrade to a new unit just three years after purchase is totally unacceptable and predatory. There’s not much plastic here, it’s a very heavy solid steel turntable platter, nice metal switch gear, aluminum tonearm and wood body for the turntable and speakers.

As long as you’ve a level surface and easy access to mains power, getting from ‘opening the box’ to ‘listening to some tunes’ is a job that won’t take long - even setting the counterweight is the work of just a moment or two. Additionally make sure your User-Agent is not empty and is something unique and descriptive and try again. 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. The Bluetooth feature is meant to be a simple convenience for anyone wanting to connect their device to play through the Crosley.At the top of the frequency range, meanwhile, the Crosley manages the by-no-means easy feat of sounding blunt and shrill at the same time. So while there are systems from the likes of 1 By One (visually very similar to the C62), Victrola (a kind of pre-war stereogram vibe) and Looptone (like a trolley-dash around Tandy), we’ve yet to hear them and so must reserve judgement. I should have listened to my colleagues and friends who tried to dissuade me from purchasing a crosley and instead encouraged me to purchase from a reputable company.

And yet the C62’s treble response is dull and rolled off while simultaneously managing to seem edgy and thin.
