Victrola has launched its Hi-Res lineup of premium turntables, which feature support of the Qualcomm aptX Adaptive Bluetooth connectivity or wired with switchable preamp. Victrola’s new Hi-Res Carbon and Hi-Res Onyx are equipped with Qualcomm’s next-gen audio hardware and are optimized for a crystal-clear wireless vinyl listening experience.
The turntables support all Bluetooth connectivity including the latest Bluetooth 5.4 and aptX Adaptive audio technologies. For those seeking a more traditional analog listening experience, the Hi-Res models feature gold-plated RCA outputs for self-powered wired speakers or integration into component-based systems.
“As music lovers ourselves, we understand the importance of delivering the most authentic and immersive audio experience possible. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce our new Hi-Res Carbon and Onyx turntables with aptX Adaptive Bluetooth technology, offering unparalleled audio quality for both wired and wireless listening,” said Scott Hagen, CEO of Victrola. “With so many higher end audio brands creating incredible wireless headphones and powered speakers we felt it was time to introduce a turntable suitable for these products.”
The Victrola Hi-Res Carbon and Victrola Hi-Res Onyx feature the highest quality materials including a low-resonance veneered MDF plinth as well as premium metal turntable components and platter, which ensure high-quality performance. User-friendly features also include a switchable pre-amp with traditional analog RCA outputs, an auto-stop sensor to prevent stylus wear in addition to custom-designed, removable headshells.
Additional Hi-Res Carbon features include two-toned black and silver body with a metal front plate for a class, premium style; vibration dampening, carbon-fiber tonearm that places minimal weight on the record; and Ortofon 2M Red moving magnetic cartridge for audiophile-level sound reproduction.
Additional Hi-Res Onyx features include an all-black signature Onyx design reminiscent of its name; an aluminum tonearm for a sturdy, yet light-weight component; and Audio-Technica AT-VM95E premium cartridge for balanced and distortion-free playback
