Pairing a playful retro red design with portability, the AT- SB2022 stays true to its original aesthetic while also including modern updates, such as Bluetooth connectivity and USB charging.

“Love at first listen, the limited-edition Sound Burger is an affordable entry-level machine in terms of both features and price,” Audio-Technica said.

“For those who are new to vinyl records, it is a doorway to a deeper knowledge of analog music. Thanks to its Bluetooth connection and compact, lightweight design, the AT-SB2022 is the perfect partner for parties, picnics, or condensed living spaces.” 

Sound Burger’s Bluetooth connectivity extends beyond portable speakers and into headphones, with wireless listening available for up to 12 hours.

There’s high-quality sound reproduction in spades with a belt-drive system that plays 33-1/3 and 45 RPM records. 

To achieve both portability and stability, the tonearm employs a dynamic balance system in which stylus pressure is applied via a spring. In addition, a high-precision DC motor maintains stable rotation.

To commemorate 60 years of Audio-Technica your Sound Burger will arrive in beautifully designed Echizen washi paper, produced using a traditional Japanese technique. In addition, each product is engraved with a serial number, indicating the limited availability and individuality of each AT- SB2022.

Accessories included are a 45 RPM adapter, an RCA audio cable (3.5 mm male to dual RCA male), and a USB cable for charging (USB Type-A / USB Type-CTM). The stylus on the Sound Burger can be replaced with the ATN3600L (sold separately).

The Audio-Technica AT-SB2022 Portable Turntable will be available in limited quantities on the audio-technica.com Australian online store and at selected audio retailers for $429.
