Behind the grill there are two pairs of woofers and tweeters, each rated at 30 and 10 W respectively.
Similar built-in Lenco models, where the speakers are displayed with noticeable devices.
There is a stereo effect, although in the case of such a combined design it will not look as noticeable as if the speakers were on different sides. However, the large size of the pair allows him to still feel it.
Reliable, powerful vibrations from the bass are counteracted by rubber dampers located directly under the platter and its motor.
It is clear that this includes experience: if you turn up the volume and then place your hand on the disc, there will be no shaking.
Such design thoughtfulness allows you not to worry about the quality of output even at high power and makes the gadget more famous.
3. Important features. Can digitize any record, independent acoustics
Of the important accessories LENKO LS-470WA It is possible to disable the built-in phono stage and connect your amplifier through a separate connector.
All ports are located at the rear. There are output options for the left and right channels if you want to connect the device to even more powerful speakers.

4. What is the result? Compactly replaces a healthy stereo system while maintaining clear sound
During our testing, we were able to draw a simple conclusion. From LENKO LS-470WA The company has approved the miniature functionality of its gadget, which can fill an apartment, digitize a recording and work as an external acoustic system without the need to play vinyl records.
It was important to make sure that the most important point in the design was thought through. Due to rubber dampers, even at the upper level of the ceiling, the vibration of the woofers does not interfere with the disc’s stable rotation; the stylus picks up the signal from the track without interference and helps reproduce the sound crystal clear.
This completely removes the worry, including maintaining the quality of the tracks on the records. There are no unnecessary vibrations, there is nothing to harm them.
It is also convenient that Speakers can be turned on whether you have vinyl or not. The volume is controlled from the top panel, and contactless influence on the smartphone in the case of using external headphones as acoustics gives freedom when connecting and using the device.
The model looks bright, but strictly. The monolithic and therefore minimalist design with natural wood veneer, transparent and streamlined edges, made from LENCO LS-470WA, is a wonderful addition to the interior.
The new product costs 39,990 rubles.
For such capabilities, this is a decent offering in its class. And for a real sound, the quality of the needle is also honest.
