Victor Beacon 5-in-1 Turntable System Bluetooth FM Radio

What the product is

The Victor Beacon is a new 5-in-1 turntable system that plays vinyl at 33, 45 and 78 RPM. It adds FM radio reception across the 87.5 to 108 MHz band and dual Bluetooth for wireless streaming in both directions. Built-in stereo speakers, a 3.5 mm aux input and RCA audio outputs complete the package.

Who it suits and who should look elsewhere

Buyers wanting an all-in-one centrepiece for casual vinyl listening, radio and Bluetooth streaming from a phone will find everything integrated. Collectors who need a dedicated phono preamp output, upgradeable cartridge or isolated motor for critical listening should look at separate component systems instead.

Capacity and headroom

The three-speed platter handles standard 7-inch, 10-inch and 12-inch records at 33, 45 and 78 RPM. Bluetooth range extends to roughly 33 feet for streaming to an external speaker or from a smart device. The internal speakers cover everyday room volume; larger gatherings will require the RCA outputs or Bluetooth out to a more powerful system.
