Andover Audio Unveils Flagship Turntable Speaker Base System

Experience premium sound with Andover Audio’s latest flagship turntable speaker base system, combining sleek design and advanced audio performance.

Introducing the Andover-One Speaker Base (SB)

Boston-based Andover Audio is taking vinyl playback to the next level with their new flagship model, the Andover-One Speaker Base (SB). This stunning system builds upon the success of their award-winning Andover-One series but offers a fresh twist — instead of an integrated turntable, the Speaker Base features a tempered-glass top where users can place their own preferred turntable.

The Andover-One SB boasts a mid-century modern hardwood cabinet that’s both elegant and modular.

The Andover-One series is famous for its mid-century-modern style hardwood cabinets and modular design. The Andover-One SB continues this tradition, allowing audiophiles to either use the base as a standalone speaker or enhance it further by stacking optional LP storage bases or adding subwoofers. This modularity means the system can grow with your vinyl collection and home audio setup, making it as much a visual centerpiece as a sonic powerhouse.

“We understood that there was opportunity to expand the series for customers to personalize their systems. A base-only model was a natural evolution, allowing us to maintain the Andover-One’s sophisticated style and impressive performance in a compact, luxury vinyl playback system.”

— Bob Hazelwood, Director of Engineering and Product Development at Andover

How Does It Work? The Magic of IsoGroove®

What’s truly groundbreaking here is Andover Audio’s patented IsoGroove® technology, which cancels out acoustic feedback by eliminating vibrations. This means you can literally set your turntable directly on top of the speaker base without any loss of sound quality or interference—a feat that seems almost impossible in the world of vinyl playback.

The system's internal design is as impressive as its concept. Thanks to proprietary speaker engineering, optimized internal bracing, and advanced digital signal processing (DSP), the Andover-One SB delivers crisp, clear sound that vinyl lovers will appreciate.

Rich, Immersive Sound With a 270° Soundstage

This system isn’t just about convenience; it’s about delivering jaw-dropping audio. The Andover-One SB features:

• Six precision drivers that create a wide and immersive 270° soundstage using front- and side-firing speaker arrays.
• A total of 200 watts of amplification, filling rooms with rich, vibrant sound.
• Carefully selected internal components, including Dual Direct Drive biamplification and advanced power management, all tuned to work in perfect unison.

The result? Sound that feels effortless and surprisingly expansive—not something you’d expect from a single-chassis design.

Class-A Headphone Amplifier for Audiophiles

For headphone fans, the Andover-One SB includes a class-A headphone amplifier with a discrete output stage. This means low distortion and highly accurate audio reproduction, ensuring top-notch performance with a wide variety of headphones.

Flexible Connectivity and Easy Control

This system is built to handle all your audio needs seamlessly:

• Built-in phono preamp for vinyl playback.

• A USB output lets you rip your vinyl directly to a computer.
• Compatibility with Andover’s optional Songbird and Songbird HR streamers, connected via Aux 2 input for streaming enthusiasts.
