Victrola VPS-400 Tempo Hi-Fi Bookshelf speaker Green 2 pcs

Victrola VPS-400 Tempo Green — Powered Bookshelf Speakers for Vinyl, TV, and Streaming

This model is a powered bookshelf pair built for music lovers wanting room-filling sound without a separate amplifier. An 80W RMS amplifier drives 4" woofers and 1" soft-dome tweeters across 50 Hz to 20 kHz, producing a warm, balanced soundstage. A rear-firing bass port in an MDF cabinet adds depth, while the matte green finish and illuminated front knob blend vintage Victrola character with modern convenience.

What Sets the Tempo Apart: Auracast Multi-Speaker and 24-bit USB-C DAC

Two features lift the Tempo above typical desktop speakers. Bluetooth 5.4 with Auracast broadcast transmits audio to unlimited compatible receivers across rooms without latency drops. The rear USB-C port routes digital audio through a built-in 24-bit/48kHz DAC, bypassing inferior laptop converters. A mono-RCA subwoofer output with a high-pass bass filter rounds out the package.

Driver Configuration and Amplification

Each enclosure houses a 2-way active driver array powered by a built-in amplifier. The 80W RMS rating splits into 40W per channel — enough to fill medium-sized rooms without strain.

• LF Driver: 4" treated paper cone woofer with rubber surround for tight, controlled low end
• HF Driver: 1" soft-dome tweeter delivering smooth, fatigue-free highs
• Powering the system is a built-in amplifier with 80W RMS (40W per channel), ensuring no external amp is required for high-fidelity playback.

Connectivity — Five Inputs Cover Every Source

The rear panel accepts analog and digital sources plus wireless streaming. Auto-sensing on analog inputs wakes the system from standby, and the 3.5mm AUX takes priority over RCA when both are connected.

• Wireless: Bluetooth 5.4 with Auracast — range up to 30 m
• USB-C Input: 24-bit/48kHz built-in DAC bypasses your computer's sound card
• Optical (Toslink): 2-channel PCM digital input for TV, Blu-ray, or game console hookup
• Flexible analog options include 3.5mm AUX and stereo RCA with auto-sensing wake from standby.

Physical Specs and Subwoofer Expansion

Compact enough for a desk, shelf, or turntable stand, the pair fits where floorstanders cannot. A mono-RCA subwoofer output with a high-pass filter switch lets owners add a powered sub for deeper bass without muddying the mids.

• Dimensions (each): 151 mm W × 225 mm H × 227 mm D
• Weight (pair): 4.3 kg
• Subwoofer Output — Mono-RCA with high-pass bass filter switch for clean integration with a powered sub

Who Should Choose the Tempo Green

The Tempo Green is the right choice for vinyl enthusiasts, casual TV listeners, and desktop audio users wanting a single powered pair that handles every source. It suits small-to-medium rooms — bedrooms, home offices, apartments — where a full separates system would be overkill. Turntable owners benefit from the RCA input paired with a phono preamp, while TV viewers get clean dialogue through Toslink without lip-sync delay. The illuminated knob and auto-sensing inputs make it approachable for first-time buyers, while Auracast and the subwoofer output give growing systems room to expand.

Victrola Heritage and the Third Man Records Collaboration

Victrola has long been associated with home audio, and the Tempo line continues that legacy with a vinyl-friendly design language. A partnership with Third Man Records produced a limited-edition Tempo colorway in Third Man's signature yellow and black. The Tempo Green sits within an ecosystem designed to complement the Automatic, Wave, and Stream turntables with matching color palettes.
