How To Connect Edifier Speakers To Turntable Bluetooth
First things first, make sure your Edifier speakers are turned on and in Bluetooth mode. You can do this by pressing the Bluetooth button on the remote or pushing the “volume adjustment/input selector” on the back panel of the active speaker until the indicator LED turns blue.
Next, put your turntable into pairing mode by pushing the Bluetooth button to the bottom left of the platter and holding it for two seconds. The LED light will alternate flashing between blue and red, indicating that the turntable is in pairing mode.
Make sure that your turntable and Edifier speakers are within 1.0m of each other to pair. Once they are in range, your turntable should automatically start searching for nearby Bluetooth devices.
Now it’s time to put your Edifier speakers into pairing mode. To do this, touch “search for devices” on your device’s settings app or connections tab. Your Edifier speaker should show up on the list of available devices. Touch and hold the speaker’s name until it gives you the option to connect. Select it and listen to the flawless sound.
If you’re using a Bluetooth turntable, you can connect it to compatible Bluetooth speakers wirelessly without needing to cable them together. This process can be a bit of a pain to connect up the first time but it’s relatively simple. We’d recommend that you first read the instructions of your specific turntable. They are all relatively the same, but to save yourself any unnecessary aggro it’s worth a scan of the manual to familiarise yourself with the exact steps your turntable needs.
Understanding Turntable Bluetooth
Turntable Bluetooth is a technology that allows you to connect your turntable to external speakers or headphones wirelessly. It works on the same principles as wireless speakers, enabling the turntable to communicate with external devices without being connected to them through wiring. The Bluetooth connectivity range is typically around 30 feet, which means that you can play music wirelessly from a distance.
However, it’s important to note that wireless technology, including Bluetooth, can have its drawbacks when it comes to sound quality. Audiophiles will tell you that the main difference between wired and wireless headphones is the dip in audio quality in the latter. The same goes for Bluetooth turntables, which struggle to communicate valuable sound information through the airwaves.
To connect your turntable via Bluetooth, you will need a phono preamp, a Bluetooth transmitter, and powered speakers or an amp with a Bluetooth input or receiver. Once your turntable and speakers are in pairing mode, they should automatically start searching for each other. Make sure that they are within range of each other before attempting to pair them.
It’s worth noting that there are other wireless systems available that offer higher fidelity than Bluetooth. Sonos is one such system that provides better sound quality than Bluetooth. However, it comes at a higher price point than most Bluetooth setups.
Preparing Your Edifier Speakers
Before you can connect your Edifier speakers to your turntable via Bluetooth, there are a few things you need to do to prepare your speakers.
First, make sure your Edifier speakers are turned on and in Bluetooth mode. You can do this by pressing the Bluetooth button on the remote or pushing the “volume adjustment/input selector” on the back panel of the active speaker until the indicator LED turns blue.
Next, put your turntable into pairing mode by pushing the Bluetooth button to the bottom left of the platter and holding it for two seconds. The LED light will alternate flashing between blue and red, indicating that the turntable is in pairing mode.
Make sure that your turntable and Edifier speakers are within 1.0m of each other to pair. Once they are in range, your turntable should automatically start searching for nearby Bluetooth devices.
Now it’s time to put your Edifier speakers into pairing mode. To do this, touch “search for devices” on your device’s settings app or connections tab. Your Edifier speaker should show up on the list of available devices. Touch and hold the speaker’s name until it gives you the option to connect. Select it and listen to the flawless sound.
By following these simple steps, you’ll be able to connect your Edifier speakers to your turntable via Bluetooth and enjoy high-quality sound without any messy cables.
Setting Up Your Turntable For Bluetooth
Connecting your turntable to your Edifier speakers via Bluetooth requires a few additional components. You will need a phono preamp, a Bluetooth transmitter, and powered speakers (or an amp) with a Bluetooth input or receiver. Keep in mind that while Bluetooth can sound good, you might lose out on some musical detail and accuracy due to digitized and compressed signals. If you’re looking for higher fidelity wireless sound, you may want to consider a system such as Sonos.
To start setting up your turntable for Bluetooth, make sure that the other Bluetooth device you want to connect it to is within 1 meter of the turntable. This will ensure that the pairing process performs correctly. Then, set your Bluetooth device into “pairing mode.” You may need to refer to your wireless device’s user manual to learn how to set it for pairing.
Next, locate the Wireless Function Button and LED on the turntable. This button is used to activate the Bluetooth transmitter and to “pair” the turntable with other Bluetooth devices. The LED illuminates and changes color during the pairing process. Press the Wireless Function Button to begin the pairing process. The LED will flash blue.
Press and hold the Wireless Function Button until the LED flashes red and blue. Release the button. When the LED is flashing red and blue, the turntable’s wireless transmitter is in “Pairing Mode” and searching for another device to pair with.
The LED will turn solid blue when it has successfully paired with your wireless device. You may now begin to listen to your turntable wirelessly through your paired device. It’s important to note that most Bluetooth devices, including the turntable, will pair fairly quickly. If either device times out while trying to pair, simply put them back into pairing mode and repeat the pairing process.
When the turntable is transmitting via Bluetooth, the Bluetooth receiving device is used to control volume, equalization, and other audio-related functions. Additionally, keep in mind that AT-LP60XBT will save pairing information for up to 8 devices, however, it will only communicate with one device at a time.
Troubleshooting Tips For Edifier Speakers And Turntable Bluetooth Connectivity
If you encounter any issues with connecting your Edifier speakers to your turntable via Bluetooth, don’t panic. Here are some troubleshooting tips to help you get back on track:
1. Make sure that the Bluetooth input is selected on your Edifier speakers. You can do this by pressing the button with the Bluetooth symbol on the remote or cycling through the inputs using the “volume adjustment/input selector” on the back panel of the active speaker. If the LED indicator turns blue or the Bluetooth symbol appears on the screen, you’re good to go.
2. If you’re able to pair your devices, but still not getting any audio, check that the volume is turned up on both your turntable and Edifier speakers.
3. Disconnect any previously paired devices by pressing and holding the volume knob down on the control speaker for 2-5 seconds. Then, pair with your Edifier speakers from your turntable’s Bluetooth settings.
4. Try resetting the Bluetooth chip to factory settings by unplugging your Edifier speakers for at least ten minutes to allow for the capacitors to fully drain. Then, plug them back in, select the Bluetooth input, and pair your turntable with your speakers.
5. If you’re still experiencing issues, refer to the instructions supplied with your specific product for model-specific information. Manuals are posted on your model support page.
6. For low sound or no sound issues, check that both your turntable and Edifier speakers are turned on and that the volume is turned up. Also, check if your turntable is playing back a music file and that any functions or modes are set to the appropriate ones.
7. If metallic objects are near your speakers, move them away as they may be interfering with the Bluetooth signal.
8. If you’re using a cord to connect your turntable and Edifier speakers, temporarily unplug it and then firmly reconnect it to both terminals.
9. If headphones are connected, try disconnecting them.
10. Depending on your product, ducts at the bottom of speakers may be covered by seals. Check whether they have been removed.
11. If you cannot increase the volume, check if your device has an Automatic Volume Limiter System (AVLS) function preset to ON. You may need to turn off this feature to achieve maximum volume.
12. If none of these steps resolve your issue, turn off and back on your devices or perform a RESET if available according to operating instructions that came with product for further information. If this does not improve the situation, service may be required. Go to Product Repair.
By following these troubleshooting tips, you should be able to successfully connect your Edifier speakers to your turntable via Bluetooth and enjoy high-quality sound without any interruptions or issues.
