Victrola is a historic American audio equipment manufacturer with deep roots tracing back to 1906 when it was first introduced to the American public by the Victor Talking Machine Company in Camden, New Jersey, founded after Emile Berliner (inventor of the gramophone and disc record) contracted Eldridge R. Johnson to manufacture spring-driven motors for gramophones, establishing what became the largest and most successful turntable manufacturer of its time. Originally incorporated in 1901 as Victor Talking Machine Company and best known for its iconic 'His Master's Voice' trademark and popular 'Victrola' line of phonographs, the company pioneered the revolutionary concept of folding the horn downward into large floor-standing cabinets (1904-1907), creating the Victor-Victrola 'Sixteenth' model that remained their flagship until 1921. Following corporate transitions through RCA acquisition in 1929 (becoming RCA Victor Division) and eventual evolution to RCA Records in 1968, the modern Victrola brand was revived and now operates under RAF Industries, a private investment group in Pennsylvania, having recently relocated headquarters to Denver, Colorado at 3350 Walnut Street (previously 3513 Brighton Blvd in River North Art District) with offices also in New York and Shenzhen, China. Under the leadership of CEO Scott Hagen, the company has grown from about 20 core operations staff to plans for 40 employees, maintaining offices across multiple time zones with remote employees worldwide united by their mission of bringing lifelong music memories to everyone through innovative audio products. Victrola continues its legacy as a leading manufacturer of audio products specializing in turntables, record players, wireless speakers, and Bluetooth-enabled audio solutions that blend nostalgic vintage aesthetics with modern technology, offering everything from traditional-style record players to contemporary wireless turntables with superior sound quality and exquisite craftsmanship. The company operates comprehensive customer service through multiple channels including dedicated email contacts for online orders ([email protected]), general inquiries ([email protected]), wholesale ([email protected]), sales ([email protected]), press ([email protected]), technical support ([email protected]), and social media ambassador program ([email protected]), with phone support at (877) 483-2497 during business hours Monday-Friday 9am-5pm ET. The company maintains active social media presence through LinkedIn (2,654 followers) and other platforms, offering career opportunities for music lovers, team players, and innovators with competitive spirits who embrace their core values, representing over 118 years of audio innovation and American manufacturing heritage in the vinyl record player and audio equipment industry.
