In recent years, Pro-Ject has released several special-edition turntables in its Artist Series, which celebrates some of the most iconic musicians and artists of all time.
For example, the Austrian hi-fi maker has collaborated with the likes of Pink Floyd, Metallica and The Beatles to make audiophile-grade turntables with signature eye-catching designs. According to the brand, they’re meant to be “conversation starters.”
Now it’s AC/DC’s turn. That’s right, the newest addition to Pro-Ject’s Artist Series celebrates the legendary band known for hits like “Thunderstruck,” “Back in Black,” “Shoot to Thrill” and “T.N.T.”
Pro-Ject AC/DC Turntable
Shaped like a giant lightning bolt
The Pro-Ject AC/DC Turntable definitely doesn’t look like your average belt-drive turntable. For starters, it has a glossy black MDF plinth that’s shaped like a huge lightning bolt, paying homage to the iconic band.
It has a heavy glass platter and an acrylic sub-platter — both of which are transparent. And thanks to being integrated with some well-placed LED lights, the turntable glows red when playing records … which is pretty rock n’ roll if you ask me.
