About The Entry

Andover Audio sets a new benchmark with the next evolution of its award-winning Andover-One all-in-one record player. The Andover-One MK2 is designed for listeners who want a high-performance, compact vinyl playback system. Retaining the classic sophisticated mid-century aesthetic, the MK2 integrates easily into modern interiors while elevating performance where it matters most.

At the heart of the Andover-One MK2 is a precision-engineered turntable with a carbon-fiber tonearm, removable headshell, and pre-installed Audio-Technica VM95E cartridge for stunning clarity and detail. Digitally synthesized electronic speed control makes switching between 33.33 and 45 RPM simple, while the new end-of-record auto-stop ensures your premium vinyl performance is completely effortless.

The MK2’s Split-Plinth design isolates the motor from the platter by mounting it directly on the speaker enclosure rather than the turntable structure, reducing vibration transfer and rumble. A 12-inch damped aluminum platter and silicone-rubber mat further control resonance.

Andover’s patented IsoGroove® technology actively cancels vibrations to eliminate acoustic feedback, letting the turntable and speaker system share a single chassis without compromising sound. Six front- and side-firing drivers, powered by 200 watts of amplification, produce an immersive 270-degree soundstage.

The Andover-One MK2 offers a class-A headphone amplifier to deliver accurate, low-distortion sound for optimal performance with a wide range of headphones.

Connections include analog and digital line inputs and Bluetooth for seamless integration with a wide range of sources. A bidirectional USB port also enables computer connectivity for playback and ripping to digital files. Additional outputs include a mono subwoofer output and a stereo pair of preamp outputs for system expansion. The MK2 also adds an optical digital output for connecting to compatible streamers such as Andover’s Songbird HR or others that support multiroom linking.

Operation is simple: using either the supplied RF controller or the intuitive central knob and LCD display, users can easily select sources, navigate settings, and fine-tune custom EQ.

The Andover-One MK2 is a complete high-end audio experience designed to fit naturally into the living room, bringing uncompromised sound into an integrated form without the clutter of separate components.
