"The VS-01 Vertical Turntable by CoolGeek challenges the traditional layout of record players by rotating vinyl upright, transforming music playback into a visible, spatial event. Conceived as an all-in-one audio system, the design integrates vertical vinyl playback, built-in speakers, and Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity. By exposing the motion of the record, the turntable treats listening as both an auditory and visual act, allowing analog music to occupy space in a more deliberate way."
"With records spinning vertically, the VS-01 Vertical Turntable recalls a suspended art object rather than a conventional piece of audio equipment. The design combines CNC-machined aerospace-grade aluminum with an MDF body wrapped in vegan leather, balancing industrial precision with material warmth. A handcrafted carbon fiber tonearm adds a technical accent, reinforcing the project's focus on refined detailing and contemporary manufacturing techniques."
"The VS-01 Vertical Turntable incorporates a built-in sound system composed of two 10W mid-high speakers and a 30W independent subwoofer, supported by a hi-fi-grade amplifier and reflective acoustic structure. A closed-loop speed control system ensures accurate 33 and 45 RPM playback, while a zirconia ceramic spindle contributes to smooth, long-term operation. In addition to vinyl, the turntable supports Bluetooth streaming, LINE OUT mode, and wireless transmission of vinyl audio to Bluetooth speakers or headphones, extending analog playback into modern listening environments."
