The bamboo plinth and glass platter enhance audio performance, while the double-sided cork slipmat adds a touch of playful colour. With Bluetooth connectivity, its anti-skate mechanism, adjustable counter-balance and a built-in pre-amp, the Stir It Up Lux Turntable brings epic sound and sustainability together. Experience your favourite tracks the way they were meant to be heard with the Stir It Up Lux Bluetooth® Turntable by House of Marley. Carefully crafted with sustainability and performance at its core, this turntable promises an audio-visual experience you can enjoy again and again.  Complex Design, Straightforward Sound The replaceable AT-95E elliptical stylus takes a more complex shape than its conical counterparts, meaning it boasts a narrower profile and larger contact area. Ultimately, this means enhanced sound quality and improved tracking – so we’re big fans. Its narrower profile allows the stylus to delve deeper into the record groove, capturing even the smallest aspects of your favourite albums. In addition to this, the lightweight aluminium headshell and tonearm work together to ensure the turntable’s tracking ability is next level. The lighter tonearm effortlessly follows the contours of each record, which results in improved tracking and less distortion, so it’s a win-win for everyone. As for the redesigned headshell, well – it’s lighter too, meaning it demands less tracking force to maintain proper stylus contact with the groove. What does that mean? Less wear on the stylus and records and a longer lifespan for both. Professional Heavyweight Crafted with a solid bamboo plinth, the Stir It Up Lux Bluetooth® Turntable is denser and heavier, meaning it effectively absorbs motor and bearing noise (as well as any vibrations from external sources) while providing a cleaner and more accurate audio experience. Clever, right? The glass platter helps here too – its added mass and inertia help maintain a consistent rotation speed, leaving you to enjoy a listening experience that’s sharp, clear and true to its roots.  Feature Favourites  Double-sided cork slipmat  Choose the cork side for a natural aesthetic, or the Zoetrope side for a pop of colour (and an unexpected animation that comes with it*). 45 and 33 RPM speeds Enjoy playing 33 1/3 or 45 RPM records while the belt-driven mechanism reduces vibration and motor noise - promising optimal audio performance.  Bluetooth® connectivity Quickly and easily pair the turntable with your favourite wireless speakers or headphones (no cables necessary). Anti-skate mechanism Keeping the stylus properly seated in the groove, this mechanism ensures improved sound quality and record longevity. Built-in pre-amp There’s no need for an external amplifier thanks to the built-in pre-amp, however - if you want to use an external amp - you can simply switch off the built-in pre-amp.  Sustainable Sound In true Marley style, the Stir It Up Lux Bluetooth® Turntable is all about sustainability. Carefully crafted using bamboo, aluminium, glass and cork, this music must-have harnesses the power of mindfully-sourced materials. One of the world’s fastest growing plants, bamboo can grow up to a metre in height in just 24 hours – making it extremely renewable. Aluminium and glass are both infinitely recyclable, while cork is made from stripped-down bark as opposed to cut-down trees. The box includes the Stir It Up Lux Bluetooth® Turntable, cork slipmat, mains adapter with UK, AU, US, and EU plugs, RCA to Aux cable, stylus pressure gauge, and a quick start guide. Embrace sustainable craftsmanship and unparalleled audio quality with the House of Marley Stir It Up Lux Bluetooth® Turntable. *More on the Zoetrope slipmat A zoetrope slipmat is a specialised slipmat that creates the illusion of motion while the turntable is spinning. There are two different ways to enjoy the animation: 1.    In a dark room under a strobe light (you can download free apps that can transform your phone’s torch into a strobe light) 2.    Download an app that changes your devices camera’s frame rate. You can then record a view on your device. Note: Our zoetrope works best at 33RPM and 11 Hz or 11 FPS.
