We love a cool vinyl turntable, and Gearbox’s Automatic Clear Turntable MkII is as cool as it gets! Inspired by Dieter Rams’ 1955 Braun PC 3 SV record player, you can actually observe the inner workings of the transparent turntable. Yes, you heard that right, it’s transparent! Not to mention it’s the perfect culmination of retro meets future. But besides its good looks, the MkII has a lot more to offer as well.
The Gearbox Automatic MkII is said to be a slicker version of its predecessor, featuring an upgraded belt drive equipped with an aluminum pulley to provide heightened speed stability. Bluetooth connectivity allows you to stream vinyl wirelessly, whereas the clear turntable MkII’s onboard music recognition tech lets you add music from your prized record collection to your Spotify playlist within seconds! However, one of its most exciting features would be the turntable’s high-fidelity built-in valve phono stage, making it the first turntable in the world to actually have one! The phono stage has been specially designed for the Ortofon OM10 (other moving magnet cartridges work too), allowing you to plug your turntable into any line input, and providing you easy access to your collection from the box itself.
But, besides its ultra-low-mass tonearm, exceptional sound output, and affordable price tag, the Gearbox Automatic Turntable MkII is a visually intriguing and aesthetic turntable that caters perfectly to the needs of both beginner and experienced vinyl users!
The nice turntables of 2020 are pretty exclusive to the dusty old document players you would possibly find tucked away to your attic – the first-class turntables within the world today are thoroughly contemporary devices, important for any music lover who can’t get enough of the natural sound of vinyl.
You’ll locate that most modern turntables are well-prepared with mod-cons like built-in Bluetooth connectivity and USB outputs that allow you to record your LPs directly onto your computer. Nowadays, you could listen to your vinyls anywhere.
