Victrola Unveils Automatic Turntable For Vinyl With Bluetooth Built In

Victrola is a brand that’s been linked with record players for more than 115 years and today the company has announced the launch of the Victrola Automatic, a fully automatic turntable that leaves the days of old 78RPM shellac far behind.

The new turntable is designed to be easy to use and has a modern sleek look. Along with automatic play and tonearm lowering/raising functions, the Victrola Automatic has a few other modern features up its sleeve, including Bluetooth connectivity and a repeat button to play the same side of a record over and over again. The neighbors will love it.

The development of the Victrola Automatic turntable followed four basic principles: ease of use, ease of setup, quality of sound and elevated design. Its front-facing illuminated power and output selection button is complemented by additional control buttons that sit flush with the turntable.

The new turntable’s tonearm is factory-fitted with an Audio Technica AT-3600L moving magnet cartridge on a fixed headshell with a tonearm that has an adjustable counterweight.

The Victrola Automatic has both wired and wireless outputs. For listeners who prefer a more analog setup, there are RCA Phono outputs with a switchable preamp that can be used with both powered speakers and high-end systems that already have a built-in phono stage.

The Victrola Automatic also includes VINYLSTREAM Bluetooth output for transmitting sound to speakers or headphones for listeners who prefer to do without a wired connection.

Pricing & Availability: The Victrola Automatic turntable is now available at Victrola.com, Amazon.com,Walmart.com, BestBuy.com, Target.com and other major retail outlets for a suggested retail price of $199. It will also be available to purchase in the UK from October 1, 2024, from Argos, Very, Simply Sound and Vision and Amazon, priced at £219.
