Groove
Groove is a record player that combines vinyl playback with digital technology. The body is machined from a solid block of anodized aluminum and fitted with polished stainless steel components. A short-range projector shows a menu, lyrics, album art and track details on a nearby wall. When a record is placed on the platter, it is detected automatically and the tonearm is deployed from its resting position. Music recognition identifies the song during the first seconds of playback. A retractable dial withdraws when the player is not in use, keeping the form minimal.
