Victrola is making it even harder to resist dusting off your vinyl collection with the launch of their latest creation, the Victrola Automatic. This turntable isn’t just a pretty face; it’s fully automatic, Bluetooth-enabled, and it takes the hassle out of spinning records. So if you’ve ever struggled with getting that needle just right (or let’s face it, been too comfy on the couch to do it yourself), Victrola’s got you covered.
With automatic play and tonearm controls, the Victrola Automatic takes care of the nitty-gritty. Feeling lazy? Hit the repeat button, and it’ll keep your favorite track going on loop while you relax. And if you’re more of a “modern convenience” type, the built-in Bluetooth lets you stream your vinyl straight to your wireless speakers or headphones. So whether you’re an audiophile or just like the idea of looking like one, this turntable has you sorted.
The Victrola Automatic is priced at $199 and can be found at the usual suspects like Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, and Target. If you’re in the UK, no need to feel left out – it’ll be available on October 1st for £219 from retailers like Argos and Amazon. That gives you just enough time to start curating your vinyl collection (or at least look up what an LP is).
Victrola’s designers focused on making this turntable a breeze to use. The buttons are intuitive enough that you won’t need a manual, and the sleek design means it won’t ruin the vibe of your carefully curated home décor. Sound quality isn’t an afterthought either, thanks to the Audio-Technica AT-3600L cartridge. No need to pretend you know what that means – just know your records will sound great.
Victrola CEO Scott Hagen shared that the team spent over three years perfecting this design, ensuring it looks good, works well, and is as easy to use as possible. “We weren’t going to release it until we were sure it was better than anything else in its class,” Hagen said. So you can expect a turntable that does its job without turning vinyl listening into a part-time job.
Whether you’re old school with your RCA cables or all about that wireless life, the Victrola Automatic has both options covered. The switchable preamp lets you go analog, while the VINYLSTREAM Bluetooth output makes wireless listening a breeze.
In short, Victrola has found a way to make spinning records even more enjoyable – or at least less of a workout.
