Transparent Turntable: A Symphony of Design and Innovation

Scandinavian Elegance Meets Cutting-Edge Audio Technology

Introducing the Transparent Turntable, a seamless blend of minimalist design and state-of-the-art audio engineering, crafted for the discerning audiophile.

Per Brickstad, renowned for his Scandinavian design philosophy, has unveiled the Transparent Turntable, a wireless vinyl record player that redefines the listening experience. Drawing inspiration from the simplicity and durability of Nordic aesthetics, Brickstad's creation is a testament to the vinyl resurgence, offering a tactile and intentional music journey. The turntable's transparent form is not just a visual treat but a symbol of its functional clarity, resonating with contemporary demands for quality and sustainability.

What sets the Transparent Turntable apart is its exquisite construction of aluminium and tempered glass, coupled with a belt-driven system and an Ortofon cartridge, known for its balanced sound. The turntable's modular design ensures flexibility, upgradability, and repairability, anticipating the needs of the future. It boasts compatibility with Transparent speakers and other brands, offering low-latency Bluetooth transmission for an immersive audio experience.

Brickstad's innovation extends to the technical realm, with the turntable featuring a built-in phono stage and custom-made details that eliminate the need for conventional plastic components. The tempered glass dust cover, with its dampened hinges, adds to the turntable's allure, inviting users to engage with it actively. The Transparent Turntable is not just an audio device but a design piece that enhances any living space.

Technical prowess is evident in the turntable's specifications, which include a pre-mounted Bluetooth 5.0 module, a variety of outputs, and a precision-engineered tonearm. The meticulous attention to detail ensures a superior sound quality with minimal noise interference, allowing the vinyl records to unveil their full sonic potential. The Transparent Turntable is a harmonious addition to any audio ecosystem, designed to connect listeners with music in its most authentic form.

Designed and launched in Stockholm in 2023, the Transparent Turntable is a direct response to the music community's desire for a more intentional and immersive listening experience. It champions the value of physical records over streaming services, providing artists with a more profitable platform. The turntable's design challenges were met with a commitment to sustainability and longevity, embodying Transparent's ethos of reducing electronic waste and honoring the design as a cherished element of the home.

The Transparent Turntable has been recognized with the prestigious Platinum A' Design Award, a testament to its exceptional design and innovative features that contribute to societal well-being. With its EU registered design and protected trademark, the Transparent Turntable is poised to become an iconic piece that defines an era, pushing the boundaries of art, design, and technology.
