The Audio-Technica Hotaru Turntable creates an immersive sensory experience by harmonizing sound and light. A floating analog record spins melodically, while a synchronized lighting system adds a mesmerizing visual element. Together, they produce unique, unforgettable moments.

The turntable incorporates a floating structure, achieved through powerful magnetic repulsion. This innovative design minimizes internal and external vibrations, thus enhancing playback accuracy. The lighting system also offers 20 customizable color palettes, including gradient and dynamic modes, to visually align with the music.

Engineered for exceptional sound quality, the system delivers rich, three-dimensional audio with shimmering highs, balanced mids, and resonant bass. The VM cartridge, refined through decades of analog expertise, captures intricate sonic details. The concealed belt-drive mechanism and minimalist tonearm ensure sonic clarity and aesthetic elegance.

Constructed with precision-crafted acrylic, a premium aluminum case, and solid brass feet, the Hotaru Turntable combines performance with elegance. Its floating platter design commands attention while blending seamlessly into any space. Priced at $9,999 USD, pre-orders are available through Audio-Technica’s Japan website.
