Turntable operation is through several large front panel buttons that include; power, start/stop, repeat, up/down, pairing and rumor has it a sixth button for electronic speed selection of either 33 or 45rpm. There is also LED lighting for the logo and around the platter, which light up green when the tonearm moves towards the record and are blue when on standby.

Its belt-driven platter, plinth and arm (with tracking weight and anti-skating adjustments) are all made from aluminum, and the detachable headshell comes with a pre-installed and aligned Audio-Technica AT3600L moving magnet (MM) cartridge. The TT13 supports the Bluetooth aptX HD codec for streaming to compatible wireless speakers and earphones. While it appears that the turntables built-in RIAA phono pre-amp cannot be bypassed so only RCA line level output is available to drive suitable active speakers or amplifiers.

Finally, a slimline remote for control of playback and operation is also included.
