Audio T Verdict
The Triangle AIO TWIN and LUNAR 1 package is a very tidy answer to a surprisingly common question: how do you build a proper stereo system that plays records, streams music and improves the television without filling the room with separate Hi-Fi boxes?
The LUNAR 1 turntable connects straight into the moving-magnet phono input built into the AIO TWIN Master speaker, so there is no separate amplifier or phono stage to accommodate. The turntable comes with its Ortofon OM-5E cartridge fitted and adjusted at the factory, while the active speakers provide 2 x 50W of Class D amplification.
Vinyl is only one part of the system. The AIO TWIN also gives you Wi-Fi streaming up to 24-bit/192kHz, Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD, AirPlay, Spotify Connect, Qobuz, Tidal, Deezer, Amazon Music, internet radio, network music playback and Triangle AIO multiroom.
An optical input means the same pair of speakers can improve television sound, while a subwoofer output gives you an easy route to greater bass extension later if the room or your listening demands it.
Unlike a one-box wireless speaker, the AIO TWIN is a genuine pair of separate stereo loudspeakers. One cabinet contains the amplifier and connections, while the second is connected using the supplied 3m speaker cable. This gives you proper physical left and right separation.
The LUNAR 1 keeps the analogue side similarly straightforward. It is a manual belt-drive design for 33? and 45 rpm records, with an 8.6-inch aluminium tonearm and factory-fitted Ortofon OM-5E moving-magnet cartridge.
For someone who wants vinyl and modern streaming in the same compact system, without buying a separate amplifier, streamer, DAC and phono stage, this is a genuinely well thought-out package.

A Complete Vinyl and Streaming System
A conventional system offering the same range of functions could require several separate components:
- Turntable
- Phono stage
- Network streamer
- Bluetooth receiver
- DAC
- Integrated amplifier
- Pair of passive speakers
The AIO TWIN and LUNAR 1 package brings those core functions together into one turntable and one pair of active stereo speakers.
Triangle LUNAR 1 Turntable
The analogue source within the package is Triangle's LUNAR 1 manual belt-drive turntable.
It has been developed in partnership with Pro-Ject and assembled in Europe.
Key LUNAR 1 features include:
- Manual belt drive
- 33? rpm playback
- 45 rpm playback
- 8.6-inch straight aluminium tonearm
- Ortofon OM-5E cartridge
- Moving-magnet cartridge design
- Elliptical stylus
- MDF platter
- Factory-mounted and adjusted cartridge
- Protective dust cover
Developed With Pro-Ject
Triangle worked with Austrian turntable specialist Pro-Ject on the LUNAR 1.
This gives the record-playing side of the package a foundation based on established specialist turntable engineering rather than simply adding a basic record player as an afterthought.
Ortofon OM-5E Cartridge
The LUNAR 1 comes with an Ortofon OM-5E moving-magnet cartridge already installed.
The cartridge uses an elliptical stylus and is designed to work with a conventional MM phono stage.
Factory Preset
The cartridge and tonearm are set up during manufacture, reducing the amount of specialist adjustment required when installing the turntable for the first time.
Do Not Disturb the Cartridge Alignment Unnecessarily
The supplied Ortofon OM-5E is factory fitted and adjusted.
If the complete cartridge is replaced later, correct alignment and tracking-force adjustment will be required.
33? and 45 rpm Records
The LUNAR 1 plays:
- 33? rpm records
- 45 rpm records
This covers the majority of LPs, 12-inch singles and 7-inch singles found in a modern record collection.
Belt-Drive Turntable
The LUNAR 1 uses a flat drive belt beneath the platter.
Belt drive mechanically separates the platter from direct motor drive and is widely used in specialist Hi-Fi turntables.
AIO TWIN Active Stereo Speakers
The AIO TWIN consists of two separate loudspeaker cabinets.
One speaker acts as the Master and contains:
- 2 x 50W Class D amplification
- Network streamer
- Bluetooth receiver
- Moving-magnet phono stage
- Analogue inputs
- Optical input
- USB playback
- Subwoofer output
- Ethernet network connection
2 x 50W Class D Amplification
The integrated amplifier provides:
2 x 50 watts RMS.
There is therefore no need to buy or accommodate a separate integrated amplifier.
Connect the LUNAR 1 Directly
The AIO TWIN includes a built-in moving-magnet phono preamplifier.
The LUNAR 1's Ortofon OM-5E cartridge is a moving-magnet design, allowing the turntable to connect directly to the speakers' phono input.
The signal path is simply:
LUNAR 1 ? AIO TWIN phono input ? built-in amplifier ? speakers.
No Separate Phono Stage Required
The AIO TWIN already contains the MM phono amplification required by the supplied Ortofon cartridge.
This is one of the main advantages of buying the two components together as a package.
Two Proper Stereo Speakers
The AIO TWIN is not a single cabinet using digital processing to simulate stereo.
You receive two separate loudspeakers that can be positioned apart from one another to create genuine physical left and right stereo separation.
25mm Silk-Dome Tweeters
Each speaker uses a 25mm silk-dome tweeter for high-frequency reproduction.
130mm Mid/Bass Drivers
Each cabinet also uses a 130mm mid/bass driver.
Triangle specifies an overall frequency response of:
56Hz – 22kHz ±3dB.
Master and Secondary Speaker
The amplifier and source electronics are contained within the Master speaker.
The second speaker receives its amplified signal through the supplied speaker cable.
The Two Speakers Are Connected by Cable
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth describe how music can reach the Master speaker.
The left and right AIO TWIN cabinets themselves are connected using conventional speaker cable rather than wirelessly.
3m Speaker Cable Included
Triangle supplies a 3m speaker cable for connecting the two AIO TWIN cabinets.
Standard speaker cable can be substituted if a different length is required.
Recommended for Rooms Up to Around 25m²
Triangle recommends the AIO TWIN for listening spaces up to approximately 25 square metres.
Room dimensions are only a guide, as listening distance, furnishings and required playback volume also affect the result.
Wi-Fi Music Streaming
The AIO TWIN supports network music playback up to:
24-bit / 192kHz.
This allows compatible high-resolution music from streaming services and network storage to be played through the system.
Streaming Services
Triangle supports services including:
- Spotify
- Deezer
- Tidal
- Qobuz
- Amazon Music
- TuneIn internet radio
Individual services may require their own account or subscription.
Spotify Connect
Spotify Connect allows the AIO TWIN to be selected directly from within the Spotify application.
The speakers then retrieve the music stream across the network rather than relying on an ordinary Bluetooth audio connection from the phone.
AirPlay
Compatible Apple devices can send audio to the AIO TWIN using AirPlay.
AirPlay 2 Is Not Specified
Triangle specifies AirPlay compatibility for the AIO TWIN but does not specifically list AirPlay 2.
Bluetooth 5.0
Bluetooth provides a quick way to play audio directly from compatible phones, tablets and computers.
Supported codecs include:
- aptX
- aptX HD
- aptX Low Latency
- AAC
- SBC
aptX HD
Compatible Bluetooth source devices can use aptX HD, with Triangle specifying Bluetooth HD playback up to 24-bit/44kHz.
Both the transmitting device and the speakers must support the required codec for it to be used.
Wi-Fi or Bluetooth?
Wi-Fi
- Up to 24-bit/192kHz
- Streaming services
- Spotify Connect
- AirPlay
- Network music libraries
- Multiroom functionality
- Best suited to regular home listening
Bluetooth
- Fast direct connection
- No network setup required
- aptX HD
- aptX Low Latency
- Useful for guests
- Up to 24-bit/44kHz Bluetooth HD specification
2.4GHz Wi-Fi
Triangle specifies IEEE 802.11 b/g/n networking on the 2.4GHz band.
Make Sure Your Network Provides 2.4GHz Wi-Fi
The AIO TWIN is specified for 2.4GHz wireless networking.
Do not assume it will connect directly to a 5GHz-only wireless network.
Ethernet Connection
A 10/100Mbps RJ45 network socket provides the option of a wired connection.
Ethernet can be useful where:
- Wi-Fi reception is unreliable
- The speakers are some distance from the router
- The building has substantial walls
- Several AIO products are grouped
- Maximum network stability is desired
Triangle AIO Multiroom
The speakers form part of Triangle's AIO multiroom ecosystem.
Compatible AIO products can be grouped for synchronised playback or controlled independently around the home.
Triangle specifies grouping of:
- Up to five compatible AIO devices over Wi-Fi
- Up to ten compatible AIO devices using Ethernet
Play Different Music in Different Rooms
AIO products do not need to remain permanently grouped.
Individual rooms can play different music at different volume levels when required.
Optical Input for Your Television
The AIO TWIN includes an optical S/PDIF input.
This allows the same system used for vinyl and streaming to improve television sound without requiring a separate soundbar.
True Stereo TV Sound
Using two physically separate speakers can provide a significantly wider stereo presentation than a single cabinet placed directly beneath the screen.
No HDMI ARC or eARC
The AIO TWIN uses an optical digital connection for television sound.
HDMI ARC and HDMI eARC are not specified on this model.
USB-A Music Playback
A USB-A connection allows compatible audio files stored on USB flash memory to be played through the speakers.
USB-A Is for Storage, Not Computer USB Audio
The USB-A socket is intended for compatible storage devices.
It is not specified as an asynchronous USB DAC input for connecting a computer directly.
Subwoofer Output
A dedicated subwoofer output allows an active subwoofer to be added later.
This can be useful if you want:
- Greater bass extension
- More impact in a larger room
- Additional weight for films and television
- More substantial low-frequency output from electronic music
Subwoofer Setup Matters
A subwoofer should extend the system rather than dominate it.
Correct crossover frequency, level and room position are important for a natural result.
3.5mm Analogue Input
A 3.5mm stereo input provides another route for connecting a conventional line-level analogue source.
Infra-Red Remote Control
An infra-red handset is supplied for everyday control.
This is particularly convenient when listening to vinyl, television or another physical source without needing to use a phone.
Triangle AIO App
The Triangle AIO application is available for compatible iOS and Android devices.
It provides access to:
- Streaming services
- Internet radio
- Network music libraries
- Multiroom grouping
- Volume control
- Equaliser adjustment
- Alarm functions
- Automatic sleep settings
Position the Speakers Properly
The AIO TWIN should be positioned like a conventional pair of stereo loudspeakers.
As a starting point:
- Place both speakers at similar heights
- Keep left and right positions reasonably symmetrical
- Avoid pushing them unnecessarily into corners
- Leave useful space around the cabinets
- Experiment with toe-in
Triangle S02 Speaker Stands
Triangle recommends using suitable stands to bring the AIO TWIN speakers towards seated ear height.
The Triangle S02 is one of the manufacturer's recommended options.
Explore the Triangle S02 Speaker Stands.
Turntable Positioning
The LUNAR 1 should be positioned on a rigid, level support.
Try to keep the turntable away from:
- Strong loudspeaker vibration
- Subwoofers
- Unstable furniture
- Surfaces that move when someone walks past
Do Not Put the Turntable on a Speaker
A turntable cartridge is designed to detect extremely small mechanical movements.
Placing the LUNAR 1 directly on top of a loudspeaker or subwoofer can feed unwanted vibration back into the cartridge.
Protect the Stylus
The Ortofon stylus is very small and should be treated carefully.
Avoid touching the diamond or cantilever with your fingers and lower the arm gently using the cueing mechanism.
Speaker Dimensions
Each AIO TWIN cabinet measures approximately:
- Width: 165mm
- Height: 304mm
- Depth: 235mm
Each speaker weighs approximately 5kg.
Turntable Dimensions
The LUNAR 1 measures approximately:
- Width: 420mm
- Height: 112mm
- Depth: 330mm
The turntable weighs approximately 3.5kg.
Allow Space for the Dust Cover
The LUNAR 1 includes a hinged protective dust cover.
Allow sufficient vertical clearance behind and above the turntable if you want to open the cover fully while changing records.
