AUDIO-TECHNICA’S HOTARU TURNTABLE

The Audio-Technica Hotaru Turntable creates an immersive sensory experience by harmonizing sound and light. A floating analog record spins melodically, while a synchronized lighting system adds a mesmerizing visual element. Together, they produce unique, unforgettable moments.

The turntable incorporates a floating structure, achieved through powerful magnetic repulsion. This innovative design minimizes internal and external vibrations, thus enhancing playback accuracy. The lighting system also offers 20 customizable color palettes, including gradient and dynamic modes, to visually align with the music.

Engineered for exceptional sound quality, the system delivers rich, three-dimensional audio with shimmering highs, balanced mids, and resonant bass. The VM cartridge, refined through decades of analog expertise, captures intricate sonic details. The concealed belt-drive mechanism and minimalist tonearm ensure sonic clarity and aesthetic elegance.

LOOP X COACHELLA EXPERIENCE 2

As part of the inaugural partnership, the innovative lifestyle brand, which describes its “fashion-forward” earwear as “sunglasses for your ears,” debuted limited-edition Loop x Coachella Experience 2 earplugs. Built with 17 dB (SNR) of filtered noise reduction, the collaborative model is designed to protect festivalgoers’ ears from the Mojave Stage’s bumping bass while still ensuring clear sound.

Each set boasts a gradient design mixing soft peach and blue tones inspired by the colors of Coachella, from sunrise to sunset. Notably, the earplugs come with a matching Loop x Coachella carry case, and there’s an optional link connector cord sold separately to keep the set as secure as possible.
