The Crosley Voyager delivers a straightforward and enjoyable vinyl experience. To play a record, simply lift the tone arm, select the appropriate speed (33 1/3, 45, or 78 RPM) using the selector switch, and place the needle gently on the record's outer groove. The auto-stop function will halt the platter once the record finishes. For 45 RPM records, remember to use a 45 adapter (often located in the player itself). You can listen directly through the built-in speakers, which are great for casual listening or small rooms. For a richer sound, connect the RCA outputs to a stereo receiver or powered speakers. This allows the Voyager to act as a source component for your home audio setup. The 2-way Bluetooth functionality is a standout feature. You can stream music from your phone to the Voyager's internal speakers, effectively turning it into a Bluetooth speaker. Conversely, you can stream the audio from your vinyl records to your Bluetooth headphones or external Bluetooth speakers, offering wireless flexibility. The pitch control knob allows for slight adjustments to the playback speed, useful for correcting records that may sound slightly fast or slow. The aux-in port provides another way to connect non-Bluetooth audio sources, such as an MP3 player.
Unpack: Carefully remove the Voyager from its packaging and place it on a flat, stable surface.
Power: Connect the included power adapter to the DC IN port on the back of the player and plug it into a wall outlet.
Stylus Guard: Gently remove the clear plastic stylus guard from the needle before first use. Save it for storage or transport.
Initial Playback: Place a record on the platter, select the correct speed, and use the tone arm lift lever to lower the needle onto the record.
Records: Compatible with 33 1/3, 45, and 78 RPM vinyl records.
Audio Output: RCA stereo outputs connect to home stereo systems, pre-amps, or powered speakers. Also features Bluetooth output for wireless speakers/headphones, and a headphone jack for wired private listening.
Audio Input: Bluetooth receiver for streaming from smartphones or other Bluetooth devices. 3.5mm Aux-In port for wired audio sources.
Needle: Uses an NP6 needle.
Stylus Care: Periodically check the NP6 stylus for dust or debris. Use a soft stylus brush (brushing front-to-back only) to clean it. Replace the stylus approximately every 1000 hours of playback or if sound quality degrades.
Record Care: Keep records clean and free of dust. Handle them by the edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin.
Player Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the Voyager with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Storage: When not in use or for transport, ensure the tone arm is secured in its rest and the stylus guard is re-applied.
