It looks like Audio Technica is going back for a third. Not content with re-releasing its iconic Sound Burger turntable last year to commemorate the brand’s 60th anniversary, it’s now bringing it back for a third release to meet demand.
The 2022 re-release sold out within days. That is why Audio Technica has announced that a new batch of Sound Burgers will go on sale in the spring of this year.
The original Sound Burger was a portable turntable that, thanks to its mix of pop art style and high-fidelity sonics, took the vinyl scene of the 1980s by storm. The new model looks the same but has some modern touches like Bluetooth wireless connectivity and a USB-C port for charging. There’s also an RCA port, so you can connect it to your home stereo or speaker system with cables instead of Bluetooth.
The battery lasts for 12 hours, which should give you plenty of listening time.
Audio Technica says it hopes the new run will satisfy fans who missed out on the 60th anniversary re-release.
“The response to the limited edition 60th anniversary model of the Sound Burger portable turntable has been nothing short of extraordinary,” said Gary Boss, Marketing Director of Audio Technica US. “We heard loud and clear the frustration of those who hoped to purchase one of these turntables but were unable to do so. While the new model coming in the spring will not feature the numbered badge for the 60 anniversary, the color and packaging of the limited-edition version, it will be more widely accessible.
“We hope Sound Burger fans will be just as excited about this new model and that it will inspire the next generation of analog enthusiasts.”
The 60th Anniversary Edition retailed for £199.99 / $199 (about AU$360). Look out for more information on pricing and availability for the new run soon.
