Rockit Record Players are a Brisbane based online store specialising in retro-styled turntables, and stocking brands such as GPO, Crosley and Mbeat. Their business is built on the idea that the current resurgence in vinyl sales is putting music fans back in touch with a ‘sensory experience’ that digital audio has failed to achieve. The retro aesthetic of their products is delivered with top quality components, ensuring that the listener will not only enjoy the best aural experience possible, but also a visual one.
Rockit are known for their turntable bundles – ready made sets of turntables that are combined with cases and speakers for the perfect portable analogue listening system. One such example is the GPO Ambassador, a portable belt drive turntable in a suitcase styled enclosure with built-in speakers, a rechargeable lithium battery that can run the system for up to 2.5 hours, Bluetooth connectivity for wireless connection to other speakers, vinyl-digital USB recording via the USB port and included flash drive, and a wonderfully vintage appearance. Another popular option are the GPO Bermuda bundles, which package the record player in a portable 1960s-inspired case with a GPO Westwood speaker with removable stand legs and an automatic tone arm. This bundle also comes with a velvet lined attaché record case with a removable lid for easily storing and carrying your precious discs. ‘We noticed that vinyl changes how people interact with music in the most wonderful way,’ reads the company’s website. ‘So we decided to create a store that makes vinyl accessible to everyone, regardless of age or experience.
We’ve curated the largest range of record players in Australia and explained the basics for those keen to learn. We’ve also bundled up products based on their functionality and style so it’s easy to get set up instantly.’
