Floating Record: When Modern Design Meets Old School Vinyls [Video]

Gramovox successfully completed their Kickstarter campaign and created something really cool. The Gramovox Floating Record, a.k.a. vertical turntable. They managed to give the most classic of all ways to play music a new design without sacrificing the sound quality. They built in speakers into the main module as well so it can work as a standalone entertainment system.

Ok, vinyls might not be the…

Conclusa la campagna di finanziamento su Kickstarter. Il successo del progetto trova riscontro nella somma raccolta, quasi 1,6 milioni di dollari. Floating Record è realizzato con una base in legno di noce o acero, mentre il braccio è costruito in fibra di carbonio, con una cartuccia AT95E Dual Magnet di Audio-Technica.

E' possibile riprodurre sia i 33 che i 45 giri, sistemando manualmente la cinghia. Oltre a leggere i dischi, Floating Record integra anche un sistema audio stereo, con due speaker full range al neodimio da 2", pilotati da un amplificatore Tripath TA2024 in Classe D / Classe T, capace di erogare 15Wx2.

Non è comunque obbligatorio utilizzare l'audio integrato: sul retro è presente un'uscita analogica stereo, con un interruttore per selezionare se ricorrere agli speaker, oppure se deviare il segnale sull'uscita, in modo da poter sfruttare qualunque tipo di impianto audio separato. E' inoltre presente anche un'uscita cuffie. Le prime consegne sono previste per Dicembre.

Vinyl albums may have been the primary (and only) source of music back in the old days, and its growing popularity is changing everything. The sales of vinyl albums have grown by 260% in the United States alone, which shows how popular vintage albums have become. If you are a vinyl enthusiast who likes showing off their cool 12 inch discs to the crowd, the Gramovox Floating Record might just be…

近期似乎不少人開始玩黑膠碟，廠商亦重新推出唱盤產品。雖然加入了 USB 輸出或無線連接等功能，但設計方面還是和舊款沒大分別。最近有公司終於突破常規，推出了一款垂直式唱盤 Floating Record，並且在 Kickstarter 集資。

設計師表示，垂直的唱盤設計能夠減少佔用的平面。Floating Record 的底座以楓木或胡桃木製成，配合低震動的摩打和皮帶驅動系統，令到播放時更加穩定。它已經內置立體聲喇叭，亦有 RCA line out 讓用戶連接外置揚聲器。

有興趣參予 Kickstarter 集資的朋友可以 349 美元（約 2,705 港元）入手，由於目標已經超額完成，預計 12 月就可以正式付運。
