Overview
A portable, suitcase-style three-speed turntable with built-in stereo speakers, Bluetooth output, and RCA and headphone connections, styled after Crosley's vintage suitcase players.
The Voyager's main distinction from typical entry turntables is its three speeds, 33 1/3, 45, and 78 RPM, covering older 78s that many budget turntables skip. Its suitcase shape with a carry handle is meant to travel, and Bluetooth output lets it push audio to a wireless speaker instead of relying on its own drivers. The cueing lever and adjustable pitch control are manual touches aimed at listeners who want some control over playback rather than a fully automatic deck.
- Three speeds: 33 1/3, 45, and 78 RPM
- Suitcase design with carry handle
- Bluetooth plus RCA and headphone jack outputs
- Cueing lever and adjustable pitch control
Who it's for
Suited to someone who wants a portable turntable that also plays older 78 RPM records, and who values the suitcase form factor for moving between rooms or taking along somewhere. Less suited to listeners wanting a stationary, high-fidelity turntable built into a permanent setup.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Plays 78 RPM alongside 33 1/3 and 45
- Suitcase design with carry handle for portability
- Bluetooth plus RCA and headphone outputs
- Adjustable pitch control and cueing lever
- Built-in speakers basic versus external hi-fi setups
- Portable build trades off some cabinet rigidity
Performance notes
The belt-drive mechanism runs at three speeds, and the cueing lever lowers the needle onto the record rather than dropping it by hand, which helps avoid scratches on the groove. Adjustable pitch control lets you fine-tune playback speed slightly rather than being locked to the exact factory RPM. Bluetooth handles wireless output to external speakers, while the RCA output and headphone jack cover connecting to a stereo system or listening privately, and the built-in stereo speakers are there for when no other output is used.
