Bluetooth Record Player LENA

A retro record player makes an impression before you even hear it. This one centres on a bright golden honey finish, two brass knobs and a transparent dust cover: three considered details, with no screen or flashing lights.

A retro record player that brightens the room

The colour is bold and distinctive: a warm honey shade that looks almost amber in soft side lighting and turns golden yellow in daylight. Unlike dark finishes designed to blend into the background, this retro record player catches the light and becomes a warm focal point, especially against a white wall, black console or neutral bookcase.

Two brass knobs sit on the right-hand side of the front panel. Their gold tone complements the cabinet rather than competing with it. There is no oversized manufacturer name beside them, giving the player the look of a carefully chosen interior piece rather than an entry-level appliance.

The lighter colour also changes how large the player feels. Dark cabinets can appear heavier and dominate a small piece of furniture, whereas golden honey visually softens the outline. On a narrow chest of drawers or office shelf, it takes up less visual space than an equally sized dark model — a practical benefit in a studio flat or bedroom.

Why the dust cover matters

The transparent dust cover lifts for placing a record and closes between listening sessions. Dust settles on the platter, moves into the grooves and collects beneath the stylus, gradually wearing it with every rotation. As a retro record player is usually displayed in a living space rather than stored in a closed cabinet, the cover is its most effective everyday protection.

It also preserves the visual pleasure of vinyl. You can still watch the platter turn and the tonearm travel towards the centre — part of what makes playing a record so different from starting a file on a phone.

Automatic stop: discreet protection for your records

At the end of the final track, the stylus reaches the run-out groove and would otherwise continue circling. The automatic stop function halts the platter at the end of the side, protecting both the record and the stylus if you leave the room or forget to lift the arm.

It is the kind of feature whose value becomes clear over time. On a player used regularly by several people, it prevents much of the unnecessary wear caused by distraction.

Connections for every time of day

The built-in stereo speakers provide instant listening: place a record on the platter, turn up the volume and fill the room without needing an amplifier or separate speakers. Explore our record players with built-in speakers. A front-mounted headphone socket makes private listening easy when the hour or your neighbours call for it.

Bluetooth receives music from your phone and plays it through the same speakers, just like our other wireless models, so the player remains useful between records. The AUX input accepts a wired source, while the RCA output connects to an amplifier or active speakers. This places the model alongside our hi-fi record players and lets your system grow without replacing the source.

The three speeds cover 33⅓, 45 and 78 rpm, and the platter accepts 7-, 10- and 12-inch records, from albums and singles to older pressings that many modern players cannot handle. A 45 rpm adaptor is included.

Nothing needs adjusting before the first listen: the cartridge is fitted and there is no counterweight to balance. It is ready within five minutes of unboxing, making it equally suitable as a first turntable or a gift that can be enjoyed without a complicated set-up.
