The Retrolife T27S is an all-in-one belt drive record player with built-in stereo speakers. It plays 33⅓ and 45 RPM records in 7-inch, 10-inch and 12-inch sizes. It also streams audio over Bluetooth from a compatible smartphone, tablet or other Bluetooth device, and has a headphone jack for private listening.
The sound system has four drivers: two 2.5-inch full-range speakers and two tweeters. Two passive radiators reinforce the low frequencies. A built-in warm yellow ambient light adds a retro glow while you listen.
It comes with a factory-calibrated Audio-Technica AT3600L moving-magnet cartridge and a replaceable diamond stylus. A built-in phono preamp has a switchable PHONO/LINE output, so the player can connect to an amplifier, powered speakers or equipment with a phono input. The included RCA cable is used for these connections. The box-style body has a hinged clear dust cover and a front control panel for volume, tone, playback mode, stop and the ambient light.
