Audio-Technica

An analog record rotates harmoniously, accompanied by a coordinated lighting system that enhances the visual experience. Collectively, they generate distinctive, indelible experiences.

The turntable features a floating mechanism, realized through strong magnetic repulsion. This novel design reduces both internal and external vibrations, hence improving playback precision. The lighting system provides 20 adjustable color palettes, encompassing gradient and dynamic modes, to visually synchronize with the music.

Designed for superior sound quality, the system produces rich, three-dimensional audio with brilliant highs, balanced mids, and deep bass. The VM cartridge, honed over decades of analog proficiency, catches complex sound nuances. The hidden belt-drive system and streamlined tonearm guarantee auditory precision and visual sophistication.

The Hotaru Turntable, constructed from precision-engineered acrylic, a high-quality aluminum casing, and robust brass feet, merges performance with sophistication. The floating platter shape captivates attention while integrating effortlessly into any environment. Available for pre-order at a price of $9,999 USD on Audio-Technica's Japan website.
