Mixx Revival 55 Suitcase Record Player Is Cute And Fun

You don’t have to be a vinyl expert to appreciate the delightful appeal of vinyl records, and you certainly don’t have to spend a fortune to start enjoying them. This is the premise behind the new Revival 55 from UK audio brand Mixx, which has just been introduced as a stylish all-in-one suitcase record player that’s ideal for those who are new to vinyl or only spin occasionally, all for an affordable price of $100.

The Revival 55 embraces a retro aesthetic, available in a range of pastel colors including black, cream, green, pink, and turquoise, all encased in sturdy PU leather. Its chrome-plated clasps add a touch of nostalgia, securely closing the lid and ensuring easy portability for this compact player.

Inside, the Revival 55 features a belt-driven turntable that operates quietly, designed primarily from plastic yet still equipped with all the essentials that a vinyl novice would need. It comes with built-in speakers, an auto-stop function that powers off the player once a record is finished (protecting both the needle and your vinyl), speed control for 33 1/3, 45, and 78 RPM records, and a mechanical tone-arm lever for seamless needle placement on your discs.

Notably, the Revival 55 incorporates features that are often overlooked, even in higher-end turntables. It includes a pitch control dial for experimenting with the speed of music and two-way Bluetooth connectivity, allowing users to not only blast records through Bluetooth speakers but also stream playlists from their smartphones or music services like Spotify and Apple Music to the turntable.

Additionally, the Revival 55 provides an AUX input for connecting wired audio sources and line-level outputs for hooking up to an amplifier or powered speakers, delivering an enhanced sound experience.

Described by Mixx as an “all-in-one solution for enjoying music, whether from a physical vinyl collection or streamed digitally,” the Revival 55 offers a practical entry point for anyone interested in discovering the world of vinyl without breaking the bank.
