Where to Place My Turntable Speakers?

If you’re wondering, "Where should I place my turntable speakers?" you’re not alone. For decades, turntable owners have had to carefully plan their setups to avoid one major issue: feedback. This unwanted hum happens when vibrations from the speakers travel back into the turntable, distorting the sound and ruining the listening experience.

Traditionally, it’s recommended to place speakers 4 to 6 feet away from your turntable to minimize this potential feedback. In rooms where bass resonates more, you might even need more distance. This is because low-frequency waves produced by bass-heavy tracks can cause the turntable to pick up vibrations, creating unwanted noise. While this guideline helps, it often complicates speaker placement and results in messy wires trailing across your room.

For those who have already bought separate speakers, you might have found a good arrangement after some trial and error, but the feedback issue, along with finding the right amount of space, can still make setups tricky. However, for those who are still searching for new speakers—or for anyone who wants to simplify their setup—Andover Audio has introduced solutions that eliminate these issues entirely.

Enter SpinBase & SpinBase MAX: No More Feedback or Messy Wires

At Andover Audio, we’ve developed SpinBase and SpinBase MAX to make speaker placement easier and more flexible than ever. Both systems come with our patented ISOGroove technology, which allows you to place speakers directly underneath your turntable—something that’s traditionally been a no-go due to feedback issues.

By isolating vibrations and preventing feedback, SpinBase eliminates the need for the traditional 4 to 6 feet of separation. This design not only saves space but also eliminates messy wires and unnecessary speaker stands, making your setup cleaner and more streamlined. You get room-filling sound without having to worry about where to place your speakers or dealing with complicated wiring.

Here’s why SpinBase is a game-changer:

  • Compact, space-saving design: You can place it directly under your turntable, no need for extra space.
  • No feedback: ISOGroove technology ensures no vibrations get picked up by your turntable, even on bass-heavy tracks.
  • Simple, clean setup: Fewer cables and components mean less clutter in your listening space.
  • Plus crisp, clear room-filling sound is an amazing feature!

For Those Who Already Have Separate Speakers

If you’ve already invested in separate speakers and love the look and sound of a more traditional setup, you’re not alone. Many vinyl enthusiasts enjoy the stereo separation that comes with spreading speakers around a room. But finding the right distance and avoiding feedback can still be a challenge—especially when bass starts booming.

For those who want the flexibility of separate speakers, Andover’s SpeakEasy line offers a solution with even more versatility. Not only are these speakers perfect for vinyl playback, but they can also be used for TV sound, gaming, computer audio, and more. Plus, SpeakEasy speakers have more input options than most powered speakers on the market, including Bluetooth, digital, and phono inputs, allowing you to switch between devices with ease.

Why SpinBase or SpinBase MAX Might Be Your Perfect Match

If you’re looking for new speakers or an upgrade that makes your vinyl setup more convenient, the SpinBase or SpinBase MAX could be exactly what you need. Both systems offer exceptional sound quality while solving the feedback and space problems that come with traditional speaker setups.

The benefits of SpinBase include:

  • No need to worry about feedback: Unlike traditional setups, SpinBase doesn’t require you to place your speakers far from the turntable.
  • Streamlined design: Fewer cables, fewer components, and a cleaner look overall.
  • High-quality sound: Despite its compact size, SpinBase delivers powerful, room-filling sound that rivals larger systems.
