Victrola and Third Man Records Launch Limited-Edition Turntable and Speaker Set

The exclusive Victrola and Third Man Records collaboration delivers iconic yellow-and-black turntable and speakers for vinyl lovers and collectors.

If you’ve ever been charmed by the crackle of vinyl and the magic of analog sound, here’s a treat that’ll make your heart skip a beat. Two legends in the music and audio world—Victrola, a name synonymous with turntables since 1906, and Third Man Records, Jack White’s vibrant Detroit-born label—have teamed up to bring an eye-catching limited-edition turntable and speaker set. Wrapped in Third Man’s unmistakable yellow-and-black vibe, this collaboration is a celebration of vinyl culture’s living, breathing soul.

A Collaboration Born from Passion and Culture

When two powerhouses of analog sound unite, it’s more than just a product launch—it’s a celebration of culture. The collection dropped on Record Store Day, April 18, 2026, kicking off with a spirited festivity at Third Man Records’ Detroit pressing plant. For fans craving the full experience, the custom turntable and bookshelf speakers are available individually or as a limited-time bundle at select Third Man Records stores across Detroit, Nashville, London, and online.

Scott Hagen, CEO of Victrola, shared his enthusiasm: “I’ve had the opportunity to visit Third Man many times, and if you haven’t been to one of their locations, you need to go. What Jack and his team have built is something truly magical. They aren’t just painting things yellow and black — it’s as if they’re bringing inanimate objects to life, each one with its own character and soul. Maybe that’s why vinyl and vinyl culture fit so naturally within the Third Man world. It’s certainly why Victrola was incredibly honored when Third Man asked us to design and bring these new products to market together. I’m super proud of the outcome. Anyone who loves Third Man is going to need this new turntable and speakers in their life.”

Turn Up the Yellow-As-Hell-o Vibes

Ben Blackwell, co-founder of Third Man Records, couldn’t hide his excitement either: “Third Man is stoked to be making these yellow-as-hell-o turntables and speakers with the cool cats over at Victrola. Set the volume to ‘stun’ and be blown back and blown away by the sonic magnificence on display.”

The collaboration features the Third Man Records x Victrola Wave turntable. It’s packed with goodies like an MDF plinth, adjustable counterweight, a removable headshell, and high-resolution Bluetooth with Auracast support—all dressed in the bold black and yellow that screams Third Man’s identity, complete with its globe logo.

Complementing the turntable are the Tempo bookshelf speakers, designed to bring your music to life with multiple inputs—optical, USB-C, RCA, Bluetooth, and Auracast multi-room connectivity supporting up to 10 speakers in sync. These Wave and Tempo models have already earned praise from top publications like The New York Times’ Wirecutter, Esquire, Billboard, and Rolling Stone. It’s a sleek blend of style and substance, perfect for any audiophile’s setup.

Vinyl Essentials to Spin Alongside

To top off the experience, Victrola has curated a capsule collection of Third Man Records vinyl, available online. This includes classics like The White Stripes’ Elephant, Jack White’s Blunderbuss, and The Raconteurs’ Broken Boy Soldiers. It’s a perfect way to dive deep into the sound and style that started it all.

Here’s the pricing rundown:

• The turntable retails for $499.99
• The speakers retail for $249.99
• The bundle comes in at $649.98 while supplies last

A Bit of History Behind the Brands

Third Man Records was born in Detroit in 2001, founded by none other than Jack White. By 2009, it blossomed into a physical hub in Nashville, which now includes a record store, label offices, a photo studio, a dark room, and a live venue with an analog recording booth. Their latest outpost in London signals their global reach. Most of their records are made in Detroit, staying true to their roots while blending spontaneous creativity with tangible vinyl culture.

Victrola itself is a century-old trailblazer, pioneering products that bring the warmth and nostalgic magic of vinyl into modern homes. From turntables to speakers, Victrola has been connecting music lovers for over 120 years, blending classic sound with cutting-edge features.
