And everyone knows someone who’s used a Crosley product as a gateway drug to a lifetime of audio appreciation… so where does the C62 fit into all of this? These can be used to connect the turntable to an external amp, perhaps, or a pair of active speakers - the Crosley has an integrated phono stage, so there’s a toggle for switching between ‘line’ and ‘phono’. Crosley has made quite a name for itself where deeply affordable turntables, radios and cassette players are concerned. This vinyl performance isn’t helped by the inexact, rather diaphanous nature of the soundstage it creates. 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.

It also features an integrated phono stage, for making connection to an external source of amplification as easy as possible. 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. Negative wires will be black (if wires are the same color, these wires will have lines/dashes to differentiate) and connects to the black inputs. There’s no animation to the sound it delivers, no drive or presence… and so consequently, there’s no particular engagement, let alone enjoyment, to be extracted from its sound. Created with an eye for interior design the (ready to go, straight out of the box) C62 record player and speakers have a veneer finish and a matt black aluminium tonearm with counter weight.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. It worked beautifully for about six months and then no sound from the speakers (and yes, the wires were hooked up correctly).

Hey CROSLEY, one important note, all of your products should be available to ship in unlabeled boxes.

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. If you are using Line Out on your Crosley, you need to use the Line In or Aux In on your receiver or self-powered speakers. The turntable, meanwhile, is a belt-driven design, and features a steel platter with a felt slip-mat.

Nothing about the design of the Crosley C62 is going to startle or perturb - it looks exactly as you’d expect a turntable and a pair of compact bookshelf speakers to look. Hooking up my iphone to bluetooth was simple, and the sound was just as good streaming music from my phone. The speakers have two hanging wires (positive and negative) that will connect to the red and black inputs on the back of the unit.

First, everything you need is in the box; speakers, turntable, turntable mat, speaker wires and needle. And there’s a slight, but definite, suggestion that the platter isn’t turning at a consistent speed in this review sample. With the ability to improve your magnet and stylus to one that suits you as your collection grows, the fidelity can go as high as you want it.The Crosley C62 Bluetooth turntable system is a complete record-playing solution for both beginner and advanced vinyl hobbyists alike. The amount of amplification that’s built in, meanwhile, is not a number that the company is prepared to divulge. We’re certainly not about to suggest you should spend more money on a particular product just for the sake of it.
