Contemporary turntables are increasingly blurring the line between traditional analog performance and modern technology, with the recently announced Victrola Wave exemplifying this trend. After turning heads at the 2025 CES event, the Victrola Wave turntable looks set to revolutionize how music lovers can listen to their favorite records.

The first thing that captured the attention of audiophiles with the Victrola Wave was its status as the first mainstream turntable for consumers to include the Auracast broadcast audio system. This system utilizes Bluetooth 5.4 to share vinyl playback wirelessly. This feature allows music to be instantly played through a range of separate speakers and headphones, mimicking the Mesh network integration.

Using the latest energy-efficient LE Audio Bluetooth incorporating a Public Broadcast profile, the Victrola Wave turntable also includes full support for high-resolution aptX Adaptive and aptX HD. Additional improvements to audio quality come through the precise Audio-Technica AT-VM95E cartridge, combined with the precision-engineered aluminum platter and tonearm for consistently reliable performance.

Music lovers who prefer to stick with the traditional wired setup aren’t overlooked, and the Victrola Wave turntable includes high-quality gold-plated RCA outputs and a switchable pre-amp for these scenarios. Complementing the Victrola Wave are a variety of Auracast-compatible devices, including a pair of Tempo bookshelf speakers and the solar-powered Victrola Zen Outdoor Speakers for outdoor entertainment.

With additional brands stepping on board with support for the tech, including Samsung Galaxy smartphones and a selection of earbuds and portable speakers, the Victrola Wave is a welcome consumer-friendly turntable that offers plenty of scope for bespoke setups.
