Review on 🎢 ION Audio Photon LP: Lighted Turntable with Multi-Color LEDs, USB Conversion, Diamond-Tipped Stylus - 3-Speed Option by Matthew Rodenbaugh

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Attractive player with USB audio conversion, some features could be improved

This is a nice player from ION with RCA audio outputs as well as a USB output to connect to a computer for digital audio conversion. The turntable does not include an adapter for 78 rpm and must be purchased separately from ION. It has a nice look and the diamond tipped stylus reproduces the grooves of a typical consumer turntable quite well. I don't expect it to be as durable as some professional DJ turntables. Meanwhile, this is meant to add visual atmosphere to a party or club with flashing LED lights, which unfortunately don't have an on/off switch or variable settings. It would be better to have a separate LED light that responds to sound. If you want to play vinyl music and digitize it, then this is a decent option as long as you don't mind the constant blinking of the indicator light. This player may require a design rethink, e.g. B. the addition of options and controls for lighting, including a 3.5mm audio output and a 78rpm adapter.
