Victrola Launches Automatic Turntable with Bluetooth: Vinyl Revival Gets a Modern Twist
Victrola, a name synonymous with record players for over a century, has announced the launch of the Victrola Automatic, a fully automated turntable designed to bring the joy of vinyl into the 21st century.
This new turntable boasts a sleek, modern design and is built for ease of use. The automatic play function, along with the tonearm's automatic lowering and raising mechanisms, eliminates the need for any manual intervention. The Victrola Automatic goes a step further by offering modern conveniences like Bluetooth connectivity and a repeat button for those who enjoy listening to the same side of a record on loop.
The Victrola Automatic was developed based on four core principles: simplicity of operation, effortless setup, high-quality sound, and an elevated aesthetic. The front-facing illuminated power and output selection button is complemented by a set of flush-mounted control buttons, providing a clean and intuitive user experience.
The turntable features a factory-fitted Audio Technica AT-3600L moving magnet cartridge on a fixed headshell, with a tonearm equipped with an adjustable counterweight. This ensures optimal performance and allows for fine-tuning the sound to individual preferences.
The Victrola Automatic offers both wired and wireless output options. For those who prefer a more traditional setup, RCA phono outputs with a switchable preamp are provided, compatible with powered speakers and high-end systems with a built-in phono stage. For a more wireless experience, the turntable also includes VINYLSTREAM Bluetooth output, allowing users to stream audio to speakers or headphones without the need for cables.
The Victrola Automatic is now available in the US for a suggested retail price of $199 from Victrola.com, Amazon.com, Walmart.com, BestBuy.com, Target.com and other major retailers. It will be available in the UK from 1st October 2024, priced at £219, from Argos, Very, Simply Sound and Vision and Amazon.
This latest offering from Victrola is a testament to the enduring appeal of vinyl and the company's commitment to providing modern listeners with a seamless and enjoyable listening experience. With its user-friendly design, modern features, and high-quality audio performance, the Victrola Automatic is poised to become a popular choice for both seasoned vinyl enthusiasts and new listeners alike.
