With turntables reclaiming the audio space for many Millenials, the Spinbase comes as a way to support turntables and record players to give additional high-quality sound. The namesake of this innovative device comes from the company's slogan: "you bring the SPIN, we bring the BASE."
The Spinbase features Bluetooth wireless streaming, allowing it to connect to other devices like your television, Alexa Dot, or even to use in your car. What really sets this system apart is its balanced sound stage. While traditional turntable/speakers create a "sweet spot" -- an area that gets the best audio -- the Spinbase ensures that the sound is balanced so there is no optimal position. It boasts a clever arrangement of audio systems to produce high clarity and optimal output levels including two woofers and two tweeters.
