Seth Rogan's cannabis lifestyle brand Houseplant joins forces with premium audio brand Pro-Ject on a special new project that highlights the special edition HP1 Phono BT turntable. It is designed with a retro surfer-themed aesthetic as it celebrates Rogan's admiration of a relaxed lifestyle and blends that together with the expertise of Pro-Ject.
It features a cream finish and is accented with bright hints of blue and orange for the perfect touch to any home. It also features technicalities including a "built-in phono preamp with by-pas switch, an 8mm thick glass platter with vibration-absorbing feet, an Ortofon OM 5E moving magnet cartridge, HiFi sound system, and Bluetooth support, an adapter for 7-inch singles, am 8.6-inch high-precision, lightweight, one-piece aluminum tonearm."
