Toshiba has expanded its audio lineup with the introduction of the Aurex AX-RP10, a portable wireless record player designed for vinyl enthusiasts seeking both mobility and high-fidelity sound. Measuring 160 × 74 × 300 mm and weighing 1.2 kg, the AX-RP10 combines sleek design with robust functionality, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
Equipped with a 109 mm die-cast aluminum turntable, the Aurex AX-RP10 supports both 33 1/3 and 45 rpm records. The belt-driven mechanism ensures minimal wear, with developers citing a wow-and-flutter rate of just 0.2% and a signal-to-noise ratio exceeding 60 dB. The statically balanced tone arm is fitted with an MM-type cartridge, maintaining consistent needle pressure to preserve audio integrity. Additional features include an external arm lifter and an automatic stop function to further reduce record wear.
Connectivity options are versatile, allowing audio transmission via a 3.5 mm input or wirelessly through Bluetooth 5.4, utilizing SBC and LC3 codecs for enhanced sound quality. Although the AX-RP10 does not include built-in speakers, it can seamlessly integrate with external headphones and speakers. The built-in 2000 mAh battery provides up to nine hours of playback, supporting extended listening sessions without the need for constant recharging.
Designed for convenience and performance, the portable record player also features a user-friendly cover that can be held upright during playback, offering both protection and ease of use. The compact build ensures that the AX-RP10 is easily transportable, catering to the dynamic lifestyles of modern audiophiles.
Set to launch in April, the Aurex AX-RP10 is poised to make a significant impact in the portable vinyl market. While pricing details remain undisclosed, the combination of technical excellence and practical design underscores Toshiba's commitment to delivering quality audio experiences for record lovers.
