While vinyl saw a noteworthy resurgence in the early 2000s as a part of hipster culture, the market for vinyl has only continued to rise since then, despite fading into the background of 2010s and 2020s. A Vinyl Records Business Report 2024 estimates that sales soared to $1.5 billion in 2023 and vinyl sales are projected to hit $2.4 billion by 2030.
While nostalgia and aesthetics certainly play a factor in the revival of the format, analytics firm Camoin Associates also suggests that digital burnout has been a major factor fueling the vinyl renaissance.
“Some people have fallen out of love with the high-tech gadgets that are the hallmarks of our modern times,” the company states in its report on vinyl’s resurrection.
“They are opting to trade in their smartphones, digital streaming services, and Bluetooth stereos for lower-tech options like flip phones or (gasp!) landlines, film or fully manual digital cameras, portable personal CD and cassette players, and (you guessed it) record players.”
Designed to complement its turntables, Victrola has also released several new speakers that can be aesthetically paired with its products. The $199 per pair Tempo Bookshelf Speakers feature Bluetooth 5.4, Auracast broadcast audio, and RCA, 3.5mm Aux, USB-C, and Optical inputs, while also coming in matching colors with the Victrola Wave turntable, the Automatic turntable, and Stream Onyx standalone turntables.
Priced at $199 each, the Zen Outdoor Speaker is designed to provide an easy setup experience, low maintenance, and a modern design. The company boasts the Zen Outdoor Speaker’s modern design delivers expansive sound and seamlessly integrates into most outdoor gardens, patios, porches, and backyards. The solar-powered speaker features the latest Bluetooth technology and Auracast broadcast audio for pairing an unlimited number of speakers.
