- Audio-Technica Hotaru is a limited edition hub
- Floating tray in magnetic suspension that lights up
- $ 9,999 (about £ 7,582 / $ 15,762 in), only 1,000
If you loved the idea of the neon platinum of Brian Eno but you could not quite extend at a price of £ 20,000 / $ 20,000, Audio-Technica has good news for you. Its Hotaru platinum with magnetic levitation, detecting music and illuminated is half of the price.
If you want one, you will have to be quick: the reservation period takes place until May 30, 2025 and there are only 1,000 decks provided for production. You should pay in August for October delivery.
If you want to see the Hotaru in all its illuminated glory, there is a fun video on the Audio-Technica website here.
Audio-Technica Hotaru: key features
Hotaru – It translates into “Firefly” – has an acrylic platinum in magnetic suspension whose floating structure isolates it from internal and internal vibrations.
And if he did not strike visually, he also has integrated lighting with 20 different color effects and a choice of smooth gradients or more dynamic reactions to music.
Audio-Technica promises that you will love to listen to the Hotaru and watch it. He says “shimmering tops and intertwined mediums with deep and resonant bass” – as you hope, for $ 10,000.
I do not expect that we will review it or to strike our best turntable guide, just as I would like to test it myself; This will surely have exhausted before he arrives in the streets. I would certainly blame anyone who wants to grasp this coolness of audio-technica history as part of their audio collection.
If you want to get your hands on one, you will need to record your interest on the Hotaru website. But if your budget is more modest, Lenco in the United Kingdom will gladly sell you an enlightening flat for £ 169 (around $ 223 / $ 351 in).
