This Stunning Turntable Pairs Vinyl With A Sonos Secret

The Victrola Stream Carbon is the flagship model in the company’s new lineup; it boasts a physical (and illuminated) knob for manually controlling the turntable during times when you don’t feel like pulling out your smartphone. As you’d expect, the music played from the record on one of these turntables can be sent to one or more Sonos speakers located on the same network, meaning you can enjoy your favorite classic jazz records even when you’re in a different room.

The turntable has an official Works with Sonos certification, and it sports what is described as a high-end finish alongside its sleek design. Among other things, Victrola explains that it used a veneer plinth that facilitates a low resonance and that, when paired with the removable headshell and carbon fiber tonearm, should help ensure a quality audio experience. The company also revealed that this turntable sports an Ortofon Red 2M magnetic cartridge, which is said to offer “optimized” sound reproduction for what will hopefully be a faithful digital transmission of the record to whichever Sonos speaker you feel like using at any given time.

The Victrola Stream Carbon model is first up for pre-order in the U.S., but the company plans to launch it in other markets at some point in the future. Beyond that, the rest of the models in the Victrola Stream line will be announced early next year, but no hard date was given. Hopefully “early” means, in this case, at CES 2023, but we’ll have to wait and see.
