Description

Vinyl Meets MusicCast

The Yamaha TT-N503 MusicCast VINYL 500 combines the experience of vinyl playback with modern wireless streaming and multi-room audio. Its built-in MusicCast technology lets you enjoy records through compatible MusicCast speakers and components while also providing access to digital music streaming from the same system.

Built for Accurate Vinyl Playback

A belt-drive DC motor helps minimize unwanted vibration, while the straight static-balance tonearm is designed for accurate tracking and natural sound reproduction. The aluminum die-cast platter provides a stable platform for your records, and the included MM cartridge makes the turntable ready for playback.

The TT-N503 supports both 33⅓ and 45 rpm records.

Built-In Phono Preamp

A built-in phono preamp provides flexible system integration. Use the LINE output to connect directly to an amplifier, receiver or powered speaker system without a dedicated phono input, or use the PHONO output with compatible equipment that has its own phono stage.

Wireless & Multi-Room Listening

Built-in dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, AirPlay and MusicCast give the VINYL 500 capabilities far beyond a traditional turntable. Vinyl can become part of a compatible MusicCast multi-room system, allowing your record collection to be enjoyed throughout the home.

Bluetooth output also provides the flexibility to listen through compatible Bluetooth headphones or speakers.

High-Resolution Network Streaming

Beyond vinyl, the TT-N503 functions as a network audio player. It supports high-resolution formats including FLAC, WAV and AIFF up to 192kHz/24-bit, ALAC up to 96kHz/24-bit and DSD up to 11.2MHz.

This combination of analog playback and network streaming makes the MusicCast VINYL 500 a versatile centerpiece for both traditional Hi-Fi and modern wireless audio systems.
