Metallica Designs Its Own Turntable For Metalheads To Rock Out To Vinyl
Metallica aims to be the Master Of Puppets Turntables with its very own uniquely-designed deck to blast its music from.
The deck, created in tandem with Austrian sound equipment maker and long-time collaborator Pro-Ject Audio Systems, the music player notably sports a base in the shape of the music group’s famous Star motif.
The Metallica logo has been turned into an MDF plinth which is topped with a mirror-finish metal plate and a heavy glass table.
There is also an 8.6” S-shaped aluminum tonearm, VTA tracking, and anti-slip functions so that you can headbang to your favorite tunes without being interrupted.
The Metallica-inspired record player measures 16.9” by 4.7” by 16.9” and would make a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame-worthy addition to your living space.
Band-themed decks are on the rise as of late, with electronic dance group Swedish House Mafia recently releasing its own turntable with IKEA.
The Pro-Ject Metallica hi-fi will be on sale later this summer at a price of US$1,599.
