Audio-Technica Hotaru All-in-One Floating Record Player - AT-FTT
Audio-Technica Hotaru Floating Record Player
Meet the latest innovation in record players. The Audio-Technica Hotaru features a floating turntable and a multicolor light display to truly transform analog listening. The upper turntable and the lower speaker section both feature magnets, which make the main turntable section float. Beyond an impressive design, this floating design actually has benefits: because the turntable isn't touching anything, it's isolated from vibrations that can impact sound quality.
Beautifully Designed for Beautiful Sound
More than a gimmick, the Audio-Technica Hotaru has a durable design for superior performance. It features a special edition version of the brand's AT-VM740xML cartridge, paired with a lightweight tonearm that look great and work great together. You also have the ability to swap the cartridge to your listening preferences. Integrated speakers and solid brass feet contribute to the Hotaru's sleek look without sacrificing sound quality. Its belt-drive design helps minimize vibration while preserving performance and aesthetics, making the Audio-Technica Hotaru a great investment for your home.
Where Light Meets Sound
The Audio-Technica Hotaru offers a unique light show to elevate the listening experience. The music playing triggers light reactions on the player, with a color palette of 20 shades. There are three lighting modes to choose from: Basic Mode, which maintains a constant color, Gradation Mode, where light transitions from one color to the next and Link Mode, where the light's color changes in response to the type of music playing. Whether you're listening alone or hosting, the Audio-Technica Hotaru offers a new, immersive listening experience. If you have a loved one who enjoys listening to albums on vinyl, the Hotaru also makes a great gift. To inquire further about this innovative record player, call our audio experts at 800-860-3577.
