Bluetooth 5.3
Audio-Technica AT-SP3X Powered Bluetooth Bookshelf Speakers, Black | AT-SP3X
Compact powered bookshelf speakers with Bluetooth 5.3, dual RCA inputs and 30W maximum output.
AT-SP3X combines built-in amplification with Bluetooth and analogue RCA connectivity in a compact stereo pair. The 76 mm woofers and 27 mm tweeters are housed in dedicated left and right speakers.
The system supports Bluetooth 5.3 and multipoint pairing, while dual RCA inputs keep traditional wired sources in the mix. It is designed to work without a separate power amplifier when fed a suitable line-level signal.
Ideal For
Desktop Audio
Compact powered speakers for a computer or work area.
Turntable Setups
A direct RCA option for a compatible line-level or preamplified turntable source.
Wireless Listening
Bluetooth 5.3 for phones, tablets and other compatible sources.
Key Features
Maximum Output
The pair is rated for 30W maximum output.
Woofer
Each speaker uses a 76 mm woofer.
Tweeter
Each speaker uses a 27 mm tweeter for the upper frequencies.
Bluetooth
Bluetooth 5.3 supports convenient wireless playback.
Multipoint Pairing
Multipoint pairing lets the system stay connected to two compatible Bluetooth devices.
Analogue Inputs
Dual RCA analogue inputs support a direct wired line-level connection.
Flexible Source Switching
Use Bluetooth for compatible wireless devices or the dual RCA inputs for a wired source. Multipoint pairing adds convenience when two Bluetooth devices share the speakers.
Designed as a Complete Pair
Amplification is built in, and the speakers are linked as a stereo pair. That keeps the system compact and reduces the amount of extra hi-fi hardware required.
How It Compares
Unlike passive bookshelf speakers, AT-SP3X includes amplification and Bluetooth connectivity. It is therefore designed as a more self-contained option for compatible line-level and wireless sources.
The Verdict
Strengths
- Powered stereo pair with no separate power amplifier required
- Bluetooth 5.3 with multipoint pairing
- Dual RCA analogue inputs
Considerations
- Bluetooth codec support is SBC
- A turntable without a built-in phono stage still needs suitable phono amplification
