The Retrolife RT522 is an all-in-one record player with built-in stereo speakers. It plays 7", 10" and 12" records at 33⅓ or 45 RPM. It also streams music from a phone or tablet over Bluetooth and can connect to an external audio system through RCA output.
Playback uses a belt-drive system with a full-size 12-inch iron platter. The turntable comes with an Audio-Technica AT3600L moving magnet cartridge and a replaceable stylus. A variable-diameter spring suspension system is built in to reduce vibration and mechanical resonance.
The 50W speaker system has two 20W mid-high drivers and a dedicated 4-inch 10W subwoofer. The RL-DAC902E audio chip processes digital audio up to 24-bit / 192kHz. Bluetooth is input only, so the player does not send vinyl audio to Bluetooth headphones or speakers.
