Hotaru: floating on color and sound waves

The Japanese company Audio-Technica has unveiled the Hotaru turntable, captivating with its futuristic design and minimalism. It combines high-quality sound, dynamic LED lighting, and a levitation effect.  The unique design suspends the turntable in midair using powerful magnetic repulsion.  This floating structure isolates both internal and external vibrations, maximizing the playback accuracy of the cartridge.


The turntable's lighting operates in music sync mode, aligning with the audio track. It offers 20 different color palettes and three lighting modes: basic static, Gradient Mode for smooth transitions, and Link Mode for music synchronization. The concealed belt drive and minimalist tonearm ensure sound purity and aesthetic elegance. The turntable is crafted from acrylic and aluminum, resting on substantial brass legs. Pre-orders are now available on the product's official website.
