Die Ontwerp

Oor Hotaru Platenspeler

Transformeer jou ruimte met hierdie pragtige platenspeler. Die swewende draaiplateau smelt naatloos klank en lig saam en skep 'n meesleurende sensoriese ervaring. Die minimalistiese patroon en toonarm lewer suiwer klank en visuele elegansie, terwyl die verskuilde riem-subplateau-aandrywing vibrasies minimaliseer vir suiwer klanklariteit. Vervaardig uit premium akriel, aluminium en geelkoper, bied hierdie stelsel nie net uitsonderlike klankgehalte nie, maar dien ook as 'n treffende middelpunt in enige vertrek.

Unieke Eienskappe: This strikingly designed turntable features a floating platter that seamlessly integrates into any space, creating an atmosphere of harmony and depth. Its innovative design fuses sound and light for a captivating sensory experience. The minimalist cartridge and tonearm, paired with a concealed belt sub-platter drive, ensure both sonic clarity and visual elegance. Crafted from premium materials like acrylic, aluminum, and brass, the system delivers an unparalleled audio experience.
Afmetings & Verpakking: 430mm x 430mm 235mm
Etikette: analog, floating, turntable, record player, vinyl, music
Produksietegnologie: The floating turntable, achieved through powerful magnetic repulsion, eliminates unwanted vibrations, unlocking the full potential of the cartridge. It also seamlessly blends function and aesthetics with a minimalist VM cartridge and carbon tonearm. Precision-crafted acrylic, a high-quality aluminum case with integrated speakers, and solid brass feet create a refined aesthetic. The meticulously engineered structure produces a depth and richness of sound that defies its compact size.
Ontwerpuitdaging: The challenge was to make sure that the magnets used in the floating structure didn't affect the cartridge. This was especially important for cartridges, which contain strong magnets. If any magnetic energy leaked from the floating structure, it could directly lead to an unusual tracking force and sensitivity to movement. By using tools that analyze magnetic flux in product development and adding the right shielding materials to the case, we solved this problem.
Navorsing: Speaker-integrated turntables typically use rubber or springs for vibration damping. But this time we considered a method of suppressing vibration by using magnetic repulsion to float the turntable from the speaker. Through repeated prototyping and signal analysis, we realized to achieve effects greater than existing structures. Generally, vibration suppression structures are internal mechanisms, but through these studies, we succeeded in sublimating this mechanism into an external design.
Inspirasie: We envisioned a musical experience that transcends the ordinary. We believe that the moment of listening to an analog record holds the potential for more than just sound - it can be a captivating spectacle. With its floating analog record and ethereal glow, HOTARU is designed to stimulate the senses and create an immersive world where every moment becomes a cherished memory. This is our vision - to elevate the act of listening to an unforgettable sensory experience.
Projekduur: The project started in December 2022 in Japan and will be exhibited in Milan Design Week in April 2025.
Bedryfsvloei: It is operated using three knobs.
The left knob selects the lighting mode, type, and brightness.
The center knob selects the turntable speed.
The right knob controls the speaker volume.
