Known as the Kozmophone, this unique record player that functions as an alternative reality gramophone combines a miniature hologram with the warm sound of vinyl. The holographic display featured on the gramophone offers up visualizer-style graphics and is projected onto a transparent pyramid within a clear enclosure. Accompanying the music and hologram is an ambient under-light that helps the projection better stand out and sets a mood when working in tandem with the hologram and music.
The turntable that makes up the bulk of the Kozmophone features an avant-garde design beautifully blending retro and modern. In terms of specifications, the gramophone uses an Audio Technica AT91 cartridge with built-in vibration damping and 35-45 RPM compatibility. The tonearm can be fully adjusted with a counterweight and the signature horn functions as an aesthetic feature are well as a built-in amplifier.
