Introducing the JBL Classic Series
Introducing the JBL Classic Series
JBL have now released the classic series of electronics and we are excited to bring these products to our customers. Inspired by the JBL SA600 amplifier from the 1960s, the Classic Series of hi-fi electronics combines retro design with modern technology.
The range includes a CD350 CD player, an SA550 integrated amplifier, an MP350 hi-res music streamer and JBL's first-ever turntable, the TT350. The components feature natural walnut wood veneers and machined aluminium faceplates and controls, while inside are the latest high-resolution digital and analogue audio technologies designed to deliver "an unmatched listening experience."
TT350 Turntable
Starting with the turntable, the TT350 Classic is a direct drive design with a heavy die-cast aluminium platter and natural walnut wood veneered chassis. It can play at 33 1/3 and 45 rpm speeds and has adjustable damped feet that help reduce vibration and make it easy to place the turntable on uneven surfaces. The S-shaped curved aluminium tonearm comes fitted with a "high-quality" Audio Technica moving magnet cartridge in a removable headshell. The TT350 also lets you adjust the verticle tracking angle (VTA) if you're upgrading to different a cartridge.
CD350 CD Player
The CD350 Classic features a "robust" tray loading mechanism and a USB-A input, with an internal high-resolution DAC for "bit-perfect sound", with up to 24-bit/96kHz file resolution supported.
The CD player supports a decent variety of playback formats including CD, CD-R and CD-RW (but no SACD, sadly) and FLAC, WAV, MP3, AAC and WMA files through the USB input. Connections include stereo RCA pair analogue output and optical and coaxial digital outputs.
