Our review was full of players of different formats, but always ready for the road Alive Audio Liberty is encountered for the first time.
This neat little suitcase transforms into a fully functional vinyl record player with a simple movement.
You can take it with you to the park, to the water and to any suburban battery, connecting it to a regular external battery. from your smartphone and enjoy authentic tube sound.
Below we will tell you what else it is budget Live Audio Freedom. In short, it is a full-fledged player with all the necessary functions. In more detail, we will go over the design, characteristics and unusual features.
Features: Three speeds, two-way Bluetooth and speakers
Alive Audio Liberty belongs to the entry-level budget segment, but it supports all the necessary functions and even wireless connection:
The disc support supports have three record sizes (7, 10 and 12 inches). In addition to the player, the kit also includes a USB-C cable and a power supply.
Among the important points is the support of smooth automatic stop after playing the record to preserve its quality.
In addition, despite the budget segment, there is a built-in phono equalizer and three target speeds: 33⅓ or 45 rpm for modern records and 78 rpm for retro discs. Most other players use only two speeds.
Let’s take a closer look at the appearance. The player is styled quite elegantly.
Lamp design with real wood
Although we are dealing with the budget segment, therefore not every department here imitates real materials. There is and I will do.
The outside of the device has a soft eco-leather cover, pleasant to touch. It is stitched with threads like on suitcases. Inside, under the disk, a plate of real wood is installed, this greatly adds points to the aesthetic part. The cover is covered in fabric.
In general, the view classical – the materials here go well together. I even said that eco-leather, wood and fabric together create a feeling of coziness.
Ceramic tonearm with diamond coating
The platter and tonearm are plastic.
As for the corrections of elements, the price of the player is slightly higher, up to 10,000 rubles.
The platter and tonearm are made of plastic, the pickup needle is ceramic, albeit with a diamond coating. Here I would immediately look at the spare cartridge with a diamond tip, so that the records will serve you longer. Fortunately, there are budget options among them.
As for the dimensions, when folded it is very neat. It takes up space of 32.2×26×13 cm, weighs only 2.6 kg or like a laptop with a 16-inch display.
It is possible to connect external speakers. But there are also some
The Alive Audio Liberty produces a clean sound with an emphasis on highs and bass. Since it comes with a ceramic stylus and simple speakers, the player “out of the box” has no Hi-Fi pretensions.
At the same time, it can penetrate into a room with a soft sound, and in nature (more about this below) the “turntable” will confidently dilute your collectible records in the evening.
There is a port for RCA connection on the back
Two three-inch speakers are located in the front part. It does not produce particularly crystal sound, but it is enough for background listening. If you want something more, you will have two options.
The headphone output is located on the top panel next to the volume and speed controls. This is convenient and Allows you to connect a more powerful portable speaker with one movement. An excellent option for an event.
Also a player with RCA output support (“tulip”) for more serious headsets. This is more likely to be useful at home.
All structures in the open position rest on four plastic knives without hydraulics.
Powered by external battery. Can be taken on a picnic
An unexpected feature for me was the ability to take it with me, which is rare for vinyl players.
The suitcase design is perfect for this. Slam the lid, click the lock, grab the handle and put it in the trunk of the car. Ready for a picnic.
And it’s not just about the design. The player supports power supply via an external battery. You can simply plug the cable into the USB-C port and enjoy music outdoors. The device requires only 5 W of power, which is what all external batteries are for.
Let me remind you that the speakers are built-in, so in essence this is a turnkey kit.
Bluetooth 5.3 works both in and out, meaning you can wirelessly connect a Bluetooth speaker to the player, and also play music through the player’s built-in speakers on your smartphone.
A new friend for home and on the road
You don’t expect crystal clear sounds from the Alive Audio Liberty for only 9,990 rubles. This is a functional player with stable sound that provides functionality for friends of the company or the owner of a family.
Among the advantages, pleasant eco-leather materials and wood in the design, the ability to instantly transform the gadget into a portable computer and two targeted options for built-in sound enhancement were immediately noted.
It will look organic in an apartment and cook it, and its weight is 2.6 kg, so it is easy to transport it to the countryside.
You can buy it on the official website. For 9,990 rubles This is a good gift for yourself and your loved ones.
