Andover Audio Andover-One™ Walnut Record Player

Product Overview

Thanks to meticulous design and patent-pending technology, the Andover-One record player delivers effortless musicality with an impressive tonal range and an actual stereo soundstage – all from a sleek, mid-century design.

So, even if your space is limited, your listening pleasure doesn’t have to be.

Conquering Compromise

Under conventional circumstances, mounting the turntable, amplifier and loudspeaker together in the same cabinet is a definite no-no. Fortunately, the Andover-One system is anything but conventional. A trio of technologies overcomes the limitations of typical all-in-one systems. Our IsoGroove® technology, Class D amplifier and 270° loudspeaker array combine to deliver soul-satisfying, room-filling music reproduction.

Turntable Hand-Made in Europe

Your precious vinyl records have the potential for great sound. The Andover-One turntable brings that sound to life. It starts under the surface, where a custom sandwich of MDF and steel establish an ultra-stable platform of high mass and low resonance. Your records are traced beautifully by a high-compliance Ortofon 2M Silver cartridge, working at the end of a super-stiff, ultra-light carbon fiber tonearm. It’s everything you expect of a turntable made in Europe by Pro-Ject. And more.

Feedback, Defeated

Loudspeakers work by producing vibration. The business end of a turntable works by detecting vibration. So under normal circumstances, placing your turntable together with a loudspeaker is a recipe for a miserable distortion called “acoustic feedback.” Andover’s patent-pending IsoGroove technology protects your turntable from vibration – and protects your music from feedback.

Independent audio critics who rarely agree on anything have declared the technology “lived up to its billing” and “works as advertised” and called it “so amazing” and “genius.”

Class D Bi-Amplification

Most power amplifiers generate substantial heat along with the wattage. So it’s difficult to fit a high-end turntable, a powerful amp and a capable stereo loudspeaker into a single, compact enclosure. But that’s what we accomplished.

Our Class D amplifier is remarkably cool and compact while delivering a room-shaking, house-filling 200 watts total RMS. We even provideseparate amplifiers for bass (70 watts x2) and treble (30 watts x2). As featured in ultra-high-end audio systems, this “bi-amplification” helps reduce distortion – even when the music is at its loudest.

270° Loudspeaker Array

Getting legitimate stereo from a single, compact cabinet is a challenge. The Andover-One system rises to the challenge with pair of Air Motion Transformer (AMT) tweeters and four inverted dome woofers, carefully arranged in a 270° array. The AMT design reproduces your music’s high-frequency detail with effortless transparency. You’ll appreciate the results every time you listen.

Intuitive Interface

Inspired by the mid-century design aesthetic, Andover-One is a study in minimalism. Rather than a jumble of knobs and switches, a single graceful dial handles all your selections, including bass, treble, turntable speed adjustment (+/- 3%) and display brightness. The front panel display shows an easy-to-read menu, making it a breeze to navigate sources and settings. Equally elegant is the radio frequency (RF) remote control. Unlike infrared remotes, it doesn’t require aiming.

The Right Connections, Including Bluetooth Audio

Ready for anything, the Andover-One system connects to music from a wide range of Bluetooth devices across a choice of advanced formats: SBC, AAC, aptX, aptXHD, and aptX low-latency.

Feel free to plug in an external CD player, USB source, a subwoofer and an external audio system.

We offer optical and coaxial digital inputs as well as analog line input. And you can rip vinyl records to your computer, using the USB interface as an output. As an added touch, when you connect an Andover Audio Songbird streamer to the Stream/Aux 2 input, the system will automatically switch on when you’re streaming and switch off when you’re done.
