Korg handytraxx tube

Korg Handytraxx Tube is a portable belt-drive turntable with CPU-controlled rotation compensation. Preamplified with NuTube tube technology, it features an aluminum platter, balanced tonearm, JICO J44A 7 MM cartridge, USB port for recording to a computer, built-in stereo speakers, RCA line/phono and mini-jack headphone outputs. Works powered by power or 6 AA batteries. Plays 33, 45 and 78 rpm vinyls.

With built-in stereo speakers, a portable design and battery-powered operation, Handytraxx Tube provides a comfortable, quality listening experience for your vinyl records. Every component has been meticulously designed to prioritize sound output, including a die-cast aluminum platter for precise and stable rotation, a balanced tonearm with a MM cartridge, and a phono preamp powered by Korg's innovative Nutube technology.

Unlike a standard turntable, Handytraxx Tube, in addition to being compact and transportable, optimizes sound quality through the warmth of Nutube tube technology developed by KORG INC. in collaboration with Noritake Itron Corporation. Like conventional tubes, Nutube is constructed with an anode, grid and cathode and operates exactly like a complete triode tube, effectively generating the same response and characteristic harmonic richness. With the TUBE parameter you can manage the harmonics, then the tube's intervention in the sound to your liking.

Rediscover the charm of vinyl

Have you ever picked up those old records set aside in the corner of your room, looking at the covers, reading the booklets, wishing you could hear those sounds once again? Whether you are dusting off a collection of classics or exploring new vinyl releases, handytraxx tube will bring back the passion of listening to vinyl records. Designed for both experienced audiophiles and simple enthusiasts, this turntable combines analog technology and innovation. You can listen to your favorite records without the need for separate amplifiers or speakers-an instant listening experience.

Listen with extraordinary sound

Korg Handytraxx Tube goes beyond the classic standard turntable to give you a superior listening experience in a compact format. The die-cast aluminum platter ensures precise and stable rotation, enabling accurate playback of your records. The belt-drive system, supported by specially developed software, constantly monitors tone and speed, maintaining optimal performance.

Key components such as the stylus and cartridge are carefully designed. The tonearm features a universally compatible design with an interchangeable cartridge to give you the freedom to use your favorite stylus or experiment with a different sound by installing one of the many on the market that adopt the MM installation standard. The adjustable counterweight ensures precise stylus pressure, supporting cartridges with a recommended pressure of 4 grams or less. With the MM JICO J44A 7 preinstalled, Handytraxx Tube delivers powerful and dynamic bass as well as excellent groove tracking performance. In addition, the device includes customizable bass and treble controls, enhancing the tonal richness of analog records.

Phono equalizer with advanced NuTube performance

At the heart of the Handytraxx Tube is its built-in phono amplifier, which takes advantage of Korg's innovative Nutube technology. This next-generation design not only enriches audio with warm harmonics, but also adds depth and clarity to every record. Tubes, once mainstays of high-quality audio, are becoming increasingly rare and expensive due to the decline of raw materials at the time. To address this need, Korg developed Nutube-a modern solution that preserves that timeless appeal.

The Handytraxx Tube's phono equalizer plays an indispensable role in achieving optimal sound quality. Designed to enhance the original sound of your records, it adds those pleasing harmonics characteristic of tubes for a rich, immersive sound experience. The TUBE control allows you to fine-tune the harmonics, allowing you to find the perfect sonic balance according to the listener's preferences. Integrated directly into the Handytraxx Tube, this phono amplifier provides both convenience and performance, with the ability to connect to a conventional stereo system via the line output or use dedicated phono jacks for those enthusiasts who prefer external preamps.
