Turntable - Black
The Transparent Turntable brings a considered clarity to the act of playing records. Formed from aluminium and tempered glass, it sits lightly in a room while offering a stable, precise platform for vinyl playback. The design nods to classic turntables but pares the form back to its essentials, leaving only what is necessary for clean, reliable performance.
A belt-driven system with a built-in phono stage, it arrives pre-fitted with an Ortofon OM5E cartridge. The result is a warm, articulate sound with an ease of use that suits everyday listening.
Modular by Design
In keeping with Transparent’s modular philosophy, the turntable is built for longevity. Key components can be replaced or upgraded over time, allowing the turntable to evolve as technology shifts or preferences change. Standard mounts for both cartridge and headshell ensure compatibility with a broad range of parts.
Effortless Connectivity
The turntable pairs seamlessly with Transparent speakers but performs just as well within any high-quality audio setup. Playback can be wired or wireless through Bluetooth 5.0, offering flexibility without compromising clarity.

About Transparent
Transparent is a Stockholm-based audio studio committed to creating products that age with grace rather than obsolescence. Their work pairs pared-back forms with durable materials such as aluminium and glass, resulting in pieces that sit comfortably in any interior. Each object is designed to be opened, repaired, and upgraded, reflecting a long-view approach to technology and the home.
In place of disposable electronics, Transparent pursues a circular model: components are modular, materials are traceable, and the aesthetic is intentionally restrained. The result is audio equipment that feels both precise and quietly expressive, encouraging a more deliberate relationship with sound.
