The 'Vertical Turntable' concept is a retro-modern take on the vinyl record player for audiophiles new and old to incorporate into their setup.
Designed by Eun seok Go, the unit features a metallic form that stands upright and works by having a record placed in via a side slot. The unit features a see-through display on the front to let the listener keep an eye on the moving record within as well as the track information.
The 'Vertical Turntable' concept is equipped with a single knob for volume control along with only the required buttons for starting playback, stopping it or changing the track. The record player balances the aesthetics of retro audio equipment with the modern components of today.
