Kestrel Audio KT-50 Turntable
The KT-50 is the introductory turntable to our range which offers a brilliant sound and high quality finish whilst still accommodating the lower end of the budget. This product is ideal for someone inexperienced but still striving to find an amazing performance-to-cost ratio or someone just looking to keep to a budget.
As our entry level turntable we found it important to meet customers needs in terms of performance as this may be a turntable you look to after only just starting your journey as an audiophile, however we also wanted to assure that the tone was set from the start of the range of our high expectations and standards. With no less than 9 coloured or wood finishes to choose from the KT-50, suiting the A1 uni-pivot arm including vertical tonearm adjustment collar (VTA) and high accuracy machined parts such as our sub platter machined from military grade acetal plastic proves those high standards.
Performance is extremely important to us and we believe for the price the KT-50 truly provides a complex sound which any person would be impressed by for the money. Furthermore to compliment the already outstanding standard of this turntable, the ease of use and simplicity of functionality that the TALK A1 arm delivers finalises the well rounded attributes of the KT-50, with the adjustable lift lower device and VTA you will never struggle to find the perfect set up for yourself.
As of 2024 we have added to the before mentioned features of the KT-50 by including electronic speed change, instead of manual belt change as prior, for the same £499.95 price. We hope this improvement shows how much we value our customers needs and our care to make an easy to use, high performance product. This can be found in the rear case along with the power button and RCA sockets/Ground terminal. We are also now offering an in built phono stage option with our KT-50 and KT-100 which costs an additional £49.95 retail for those who may require it.
Perfect for newcomers or just on a budget… the KT-50 is certainly a fantastic place to start.
