About this deal
Bluetooth 3.0 + HS (High Speed) uses the power of Wi-Fi, allowing faster transfer speeds. As such, it transmits larger amounts of audio and video data, making it one of the most common Bluetooth versions for headphones, speakers, and portable media players. Main features Bluetooth turntables are often more expensive than wired turntables. This is because the added Bluetooth technology adds to the cost of the turntable.
Their newest specification, LE Audio, is clearly in line with this. Completed in July 2022, LE Audio brings several new features to the table for Bluetooth 5.2 devices and pushes the boundaries of interconnectedness in commercial, consumer, and industrial sectors.
A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile): Allows users to stream audio from one device to another. For example, a smartphone to a headset, a smartphone to a car stereo, or a microphone to a computer. Released in July 2021, the latest iteration of Bluetooth 5 features enhancements that improve the efficiency of how data is processed and strengthen connectivity in general, particularly in the IoT framework. A Bluetooth codec compresses and decompresses audio data into a specific format. It then transmits it at a specified bitrate.
A Bluetooth turntable, on the other hand, has a built-in Bluetooth transmitter that allows you to wirelessly connect to a speaker. You’ll still need to plug the turntable into power but you won’t need to connect it to your speakers via cable. The name “ Bluetooth” originated from King Harald “Blåtand” Gormsson, a Danish ruler, because of a single rotting tooth in his mouth that was bluish-gray. According to the founders of Bluetooth SIG, the name was supposed to be temporary until the team could think of something “cooler.” Aside from power consumption, Bluetooth 4.0 has improved audio data transmission with aptX codec support. This enables manufacturers and developers to take advantage of the codec’s higher bitrate and efficient lossy compression algorithm. Don’t forget that you can still plug a Bluetooth turntable into speakers and benefit from the best of both worlds.
