Reinvented Record Players

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

'LOVE' is a Modern Turntable That is Enhanced with Smart Features

— February 15, 2017 — Art & Design
Over time, there have been many modern turntable designs that have been introduced to catch the eyes of music lovers who favor a sleek, minimalist aesthetic, but the technology behind most record players has remained unchanged. 'LOVE' is being introduced to the world as "the first intelligent turntable" to change this pattern.

Rather than having a large rectangular form, LOVE is a small, handheld device that can be fitted on top of a record to commence play. Although LOVE is smartphone-controlled, the device can be used with or without phone connectivity. Through an app, LOVE introduces the ability to skip or repeat tracks, as well as change volume settings and modify RPM speeds.

LOVE is a creation by world-renowned product designer Yves Behar and is currently running as part of a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter.
Trend Themes
1. Smart Turntables - Incorporating smart features like app controls and track skipping/repeating into turntables could disrupt the traditional vinyl player market.
2. Handheld Record Players - Smaller, portable, and handheld record players like LOVE could cater to the on-the-go music needs of today's consumers.
3. Crowdfunding for Audio Products - As evidenced by LOVE's crowdfunding campaign, crowdfunding platforms can be a viable option for launching and funding innovative audio products.
Industry Implications
1. Audio Equipment - Established audio equipment companies could incorporate smart features and portability into their turntables to compete with new entrants like LOVE.
2. Consumer Electronics - Manufacturers of consumer electronics could explore developing handheld and portable audio products like LOVE to appeal to the on-the-go lifestyle of today's consumers.
3. Crowdfunding Platforms - Crowdfunding platforms could expand their reach to include better support for niche audio products like LOVE, enabling more entrepreneurs to launch innovative audio startups.
