The story behind it
Turntables and the analogue experience have gained in popularity the last few years, many people are searching for a
true and simple plug-and-play solution. A lot of products have been introduced to the market which are supposed to end this search, though there have only been two solutions so far, which in our opinion still are not adequate to enjoy the full potential of analogue players.

TURNTABLES WITH BUILT IN SPEAKERS: Probably the most popular solution. Those are mostly made in far-east with cheap construction and toy-like build quality. These products are very far from the analogue sound as it is supposed to be, they even are close to destroying your valuable records. The built-in speakers also cause lots of vibrations which are picked up from the cartridge, the outcome is a very distorted and boomy sound. On top of that, you wont get close to a real concert-like stereo feeling, as the speakers are too close to each other to form a room-like sound stage.

ACTIVE SPEAKERS PLUS TURNTABLE: The problem here is that the cable from the turntable to the speakers can be maximum 1.2 meters. This again causes many distortions and a coloured sound. With the short distance between the speakers of approximately 2 meters you will also not create a stereo effect. If you would like to add a second source, like a CD player or even your smartphone, you will very likely come into difficulties with the cabelling.

We believe that the
only true solution to this request is our active turntable
Juke Box S2. It offers built-in pre and power-amplifier, which allows you to place the speakers far away from each other to minimize the possibility of acoustic feedback and to create a real analogue stereo experience.With Juke Box S2 we want to show all vinyl enthusiasts and growing audiophiles, how easy and great a music experience from a modern record player can be
