Eindhoven 17th September 2025:  Philips Fidelio will make a welcome return to the home hi-fi market in 2026 with the launch of two new premium affordable components - the FT1 turntable and FA3 wireless active speakers. The new components can be purchased separately as an upgrade to an existing system but have also been designed to perfectly complement each other in a complete Fidelio system - with the FT1 offering both vinyl playback plus the added flexibility of a front-loading CD player.

Philips Fidelio FT1 – Bluetooth enabled turntable/CD player.

The FT1 matches high quality materials with the flexibility to choose between wireless or wired connectivity and vinyl or CD playback.  The heavy duty, die-cast aluminium platter and rubber slip mat combine to reduce vibration and ensure superb clarity. The extruded aluminium tone arm features an adjustable counterweight and replaceable Audio-Technica MM stylus to ensure accurate tracking of the grooves with an auto-stop function pausing the turntable when a side has been played. 

The minimalistic design of the FT1 will look great in any space, whether with or without the turntable’s removable dustcover. A dimmable LED display shows key information including source and volume level, and a clock is displayed when the FT1 is in standby.The FT1 can easily be made part of a traditional hi-fi setup, via a wired RCA connection from the onboard phono stage to the line-level input on an amplifier. The FT1 also features a 3.5 mm headphone connection for more private listening.  Alternatively, the FT1 will quickly pair with wireless speakers or headphones via Bluetooth 5.4 with the option of LC3 codec compatibility for high quality audio.  The FT1 can also broadcast vinyl or CD playback to compatible speakers via Auracast. The FT1 includes both physical controls for source selection including Bluetooth, Auracast and CD playback, or the choice of smart controls, via the Philips Entertainment app including a virtual remote control and source selection.
