The “E” is for “essential” The Andover-One “E” pulls from the core design of the Model-One, but at a lower price point, and with the same physical footprint. It also comes with a free Songbird music streamer for a limited time. Pro-Ject Turntable The Andover-One E features a Pro-Ject belt-drive turntable with a steel platter and pre-set counterweight—ready to go without assembly Ortofon Cartridge The Andover One-E comes with a pre-installed Ortofon OM-5e Cartridge so that the system is ready to go. Should the cartridge need to be replaced at some point, OM-5e can be ordered from Ortofon, or you can use a different cartridge of your choice. Of course, if you just need a new stylus, the Ortofon Stylus 5e is compatible with the cartridge. Integrated Audio System The One-E incorporates Class-D Amplifiers with a bi-amplified speaker system that includes two dome tweeters mounted in front with two 3.5-inch aluminum diaphragm woofers (one on each side). IsoGroove Andover’s IsoGroove Technology is a proprietary means of combining a turntable and speaker system in a single compact enclosure, without feedback, resonances, or any other audio-disruptive noise. Intuitive Control Interface The One-E features a front-mounted graphic interface, with a single-knob operation (a wireless remote is also included). Selectable input sources include phono, Bluetooth (aptX HD), digital optical, USB (input/output), and a dedicated input for a Wi-Fi streaming device (such as the Andover Songbird discussed later in this article). Tip: The USB port can be used to play music files from a USB flash drive or to rip music from the turntable to USB for convenient playback on other devices. On the dedicated output side, the One-E includes stereo line and subwoofer preamp outputs. Listening ModesStereo/Mono (selectable): Listen to music and audio in traditional left and right two-channel channel stereo or for older records listen to the original mono mix. Panoramic: This mode enhances the stereo image, making the unit sound like a pair of widely-spaced speakers. EQ: The settings menu provides EQ settings so listeners can adjust the audio characteristics to their room, content, or listening preferences.
