The Design

About Shr.d Wandmontierter Plattenspieler

Shr.d ist ein wandmontierter Plattenspieler für moderne Wohnräume. Das Gerät wird an der Wand befestigt und an die Stromversorgung angeschlossen. Die Schallplatte wird auf der Vorderseite aufgelegt, ein Drehhebel startet die Wiedergabe. Über einen USB-Anschluss an der rechten Seite lassen sich weitere Musikdateien abspielen, sodass das Gerät zugleich als Heim-Stereoanlage dient. Das Gehäuse besteht aus ABS – einem Material, das schlag- und kratzfest ist, formstabil bleibt und Wärme nur langsam leitet. Shr.d misst 32,5 cm in der Länge, 7,9 cm in der Breite und 28 cm in der Höhe.
