Audio tech firm A2D2 has announced a small, unassuming device that can turn anyanalogue turntableinto an audio streamer, enabling you to wirelessly stream your records to speakers around the home.
While it works withSonosspeakers, you don’t specifically need one, just a connected smart speaker that’s compatible with Airplay,Alexaor Chromecast.
You can create a multi-room setup from otherwireless speakersandsoundbars, too, including Denon HEOS.
The A2D2 Stream is a relatively small box that you connect to your deck (or another analogue audio source) via its stereo phono inputs. It comes with Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity to hook it up to your home network (the same network as the speakers), and there are also stereo phono and 3.5mm line outputs for good measure.
That means you can put it in the chain if you connect your turntable to separate speakers or an amplifier. And you can use wired headphones with the device.
It’s worth noting though that you will need a pre-amp between your deck and the A2D2 Stream if your’s doesn’t have one built in already. This is not likely to be an issue with modern players or other sources (such as a CD player or tape deck), but it’s worth keeping in mind.
The device works with a dedicated app foriOSandAndroid, which recognises your smart speakers and allows you to connect with a single tap. Alternatively, you can stream playback to Bluetooth headphones via the app (and your phone).
