THE+RECORD PLAYER Special Edition All-in-One Hi-Fi Turntable System Upgraded all-in-one vinyl system with Pro-Ject belt-drive turntable, carbon-fibre tonearm, Ortofon 2M Red cartri dge, 100W bi-amplified speakers and Bluetooth, optical and USB connectivity. THE+RECORD PLAYER Special Edition keeps the same integrated one-cabinet concept as the standard model but upgrades the analogue front end with a carbon-fibre tonearm and Ortofon 2M Red cartridge. That makes it the version to choose when vinyl performance is the priority but a separate amplifier and speaker system is still not practical. The speaker, amplifier and digital-connectivity platform remains built into the cabinet, so the product retains the simplicity that makes the standard model appealing. Carbon-Fibre Tonearm and 2M Red The important Special Edition upgrade is at the record groove A Pro-Ject belt-drive platform is fitted with a carbon-fibre tonearm and Ortofon 2M Red moving-magnet cartridge. Compared with the standard OM10/aluminium-arm configuration, this gives the Special Edition a more ambitious vinyl front end. Integrated Stereo Speaker System Two-way bi-amplified sound without separate speakers Two high-excursion 3.5-inch woofers and two 1-inch soft-dome tweeters are driven by Class-D amplification with up to 100W total maximum power. Double-precision DSP manages the integrated speaker system. Bluetooth, Optical and USB Keep the system useful for TV and digital sources too Bluetooth covers casual wireless playback, optical input can accept a digital source or television, and USB provides computer connectivity. The system can therefore remain the room's main audio hub rather than being limited to records. System Fit and Buying Advice The advantage of THE+RECORD PLAYER Special Edition is system simplification: amplification and some source functions are already built into the product. That makes placement and source selection more important, because you are choosing the electronics and speakers as one package rather than mixing components later.

The Special Edition is an integrated system; its value is in the combined turntable, amplifier and speaker platform rather than modular component swapping. The Audio Experts Take The Special Edition is the one we would choose when the all-in-one concept is right but the record-playing hardware deserves more attention. The carbon-fibre arm and 2M Red move the analogue front end closer to a conventional hi-fi turntable while preserving the compact, single-cabinet convenience that defines the product.
