Portable Vinyl Playback with Bluetooth and Classic Sound Burger Style
The Audio-Technica AT-SB727 Sound Burger - Portable Bluetooth Turntable brings one of Audio-Technica’s most distinctive turntable designs into the modern wireless era. Its compact belt-drive system plays both 33-1/3 and 45 RPM records while Bluetooth 5.2 allows vinyl playback through compatible wireless speakers and headphones. A built-in rechargeable battery provides approximately 12 hours of operation, making Sound Burger equally at home in compact listening spaces or taken along for portable record playback.
Despite its unconventional shape, Sound Burger incorporates genuine turntable engineering, including a high-precision DC servo motor, die-cast aluminum-alloy platter with damping, spring-applied stylus pressure, and a replaceable diamond stylus. A built-in RIAA phono stage provides a 150mV line-level analog output, allowing the AT-SB727 to connect directly to active speakers, amplifiers and other compatible line-level audio equipment when wired listening is preferred.

Technology & Design
Dynamic-Balance Tonearm System — To maintain reliable tracking in such a compact design, the Sound Burger applies stylus pressure through a spring-based dynamic-balance mechanism rather than relying solely on a traditional counterweight.
DC Servo Belt Drive — The high-precision DC motor drives the platter through a belt, providing stable rotation while helping isolate motor vibration from the record and stylus.
Damped Aluminum Platter — The die-cast aluminum-alloy platter incorporates damping to help provide stable record support and reduce unwanted vibration during playback.
Integrated Line-Level Output — A built-in RIAA phono preamplifier means the analog output is already at line level, allowing Sound Burger to connect directly to active speakers, AUX inputs and compatible amplifiers without requiring a separate phono preamp.
