BLAUPUNKT VT100BK vertical turntable

Unique design! Great sound! Unobtrusive features!

A complex and unusual vertical design, resonance-resistant construction, and a fully automatic belt drive – these are just a few of the advantages of this device. Integrated dual Bluetooth, Audio Technica AT3600L cartridge, headphone and RCA audio outputs, as well as built-in speakers powered by an amplifier with an output power of 2 x 5 W RMS, and a smart tonearm position control button complete the impressive list of features.

The VT100 is a unique design vertical turntable that combines vintage style elements with modern functionality.

FULLY AUTOMATIC SYSTEM

This is a fully automatic turntable, which means that practically all the work is limited to placing the vinyl record on the platter and pressing the start button. The device then activates the mechanism that moves the tonearm from the resting position to the point where the record starts playing. The turntable supports both 12-inch long-playing records and the so-called 7-inch singles. Before starting playback, you must switch the record size switch on the main turntable panel to the appropriate position. When the record finishes playing, the tonearm will automatically lift and return to the resting position unless the repeat playback function is activated by the REPEAT button on the control panel – in which case the tonearm will return to the starting position and begin playing the record again.

BELT DRIVE

The VT100 features a belt drive – a classic and proven method of transferring torque from a low-speed motor to the turntable platter. The undeniable advantage of this solution is quiet operation and relatively low operating costs – the belt itself is replaced every few years or when the rotation speed noticeably changes.

TWO PLAYBACK SPEEDS

This model supports two playback speeds – 33 1/3 and 45 RPM. The speed is changed using a special switch on the control panel. The rotation speed should be matched to the speed at which the vinyl record was pressed – this information can usually be found on the record label or album insert. If such information is not available, we will quickly hear whether the selected playback speed is correct – if not, it should be adjusted.

ARM POSITION CONTROL

The VT100 also has a rare tonearm position control feature. Using the corresponding switch on the control panel, we can move the knob both forward and backward to select the appropriate track on the disc or return to a specific fragment of the track being played.

ANTI-RESONANCE DESIGN

The integrated speaker has an anti-resonance construction that dampens vibrations and reduces their impact on the cartridge's operation. The entire turntable chassis is also equipped with appropriately flexible rubber feet that minimize the possibility of low-frequency feedback.

BIDIRECTIONAL BLUETOOTH MODULE (IN-OUT)

The player features a bidirectional Bluetooth module that allows you to play music files, such as from a smartphone, using the built-in stereo speaker. However, the main functionality of this module is the ability to connect external active speakers or amplifiers, as well as Bluetooth headphones, and transmit the signal from the vinyl record.

MMC CARTRIDGE

The turntable comes with a renowned Audio-Technica AT3600L cartridge. This is a moving magnet cartridge with a spherically cut diamond stylus that provides detailed and warm sound. To achieve optimal playback quality, the stylus pressure has been set to the optimal level for this design – 3.5 g.

BUILT-IN PASSIVE STEREO SPEAKER

The VT100 features a built-in stereo speaker with a passive diaphragm to enhance low-frequency acoustic properties. The speaker is powered by a built-in amplifier with a rated output power of 2 x 5 W RMS. This allows the turntable to deliver optimal sound in an intimate space.

AUDIO SIGNAL OUTPUTS

There is also a classic headphone output, mini jack, and RCA line output located at the back of the chassis. Thanks to these outputs, using the appropriate cables, the turntable can be connected to a micro system or more advanced audio systems.

HIGH-QUALITY MATERIALS

The turntable is made from a combination of high-quality materials – plastic forming the front panel, metal grilles covering the speaker, and MDF panels forming the chassis. The entire finish is covered with European oak veneer. Unique appearance, functionality, and ease of use are features that will surely appeal to anyone who appreciates the warmth of analog sound and unique design. It is a treat for both vintage style enthusiasts and fans of more modern forms. The VT100 is certainly not an ordinary vinyl player! It is an elegant addition that will fill any space with good sound and provide a sense of good style.
