At Rockaway Records, we’ve been spinning records and slinging sound gear since way back, and when it comes to trusted audio brands, Audio-Technica is top of our charts. We've proudly stocked their turntables, headphones, and gear for over 10 years, and there's a reason (okay, ten reasons) why we keep going back for more.
So whether you're a seasoned audiophile, a vinyl newbie, or someone who just wants their music to sound right, here’s why Audio-Technica should be your go-to too.
1. Built Like a Brick (But Cooler Looking)
Their gear isn’t just sleek – it’s solid. Audio-Technica products are built to last, whether it’s a turntable that spins every day or headphones that take a beating on your morning commute.
2. Vinyl Royalty
Their AT-LP series turntables have become legends. Easy for beginners, sharp enough for audiophiles, and always delivering that warm, rich analog sound. We’ve sold heaps of them – and they rarely come back. (Unless it’s for accessories. Or a second one.)
3. Headphones That Hug Your Ears
We’re talking serious comfort. Their headphones (like the iconic ATH-M50x) feel like soft marshmallow cushions for your ears – and sound like heaven. Studio-quality audio meets day-long comfort. Yes please.
4. Looks That Never Go Out of Style
Their turntables and headphones have that classic-modern vibe that just works. Whether you want something minimal, retro, or high-tech, Audio-Technica doesn’t just perform – it looks good doing it.
5. Plug-and-Play Simplicity
No audio engineering degree required. Their turntables are intuitive, often featuring built-in preamps and Bluetooth options, making setup a breeze whether you're 17 or 70.
6. Japan-Born, World-Loved
Founded in Tokyo in 1962, Audio-Technica has been obsessing over quality sound for decades. That obsession shows in every detail – from the stylus to the speaker grille.
7. Options for Every Budget
Whether you’re ballin’ on a budget or going full hi-fi, Audio-Technica has options. At Rockaway, we stock models for entry-level listeners and seasoned collectors who want the best in class.
8. Trusted by the Pros
From recording studios to live stages, Audio-Technica gear is trusted by musicians, DJs, and audio techs around the world. If it's good enough for them, it’s good enough for your lounge room.
9. They Don’t Just Do One Thing Well – They Do Everything
Turntables? Check. Cartridges? Check. Headphones, microphones, even accessories – all crafted with the same level of detail and love for sound. It’s an audiophile’s dream buffet.
10. Rockaway Records Approved for Over a Decade
We don’t just stock anything. For the past 10 years, we’ve chosen to carry Audio-Technica because we trust it – and more importantly, our customers love it. From Brisbane locals to online buyers across Australia, the feedback is consistently glowing.
Final Spin
If you’re after quality, durability, and a sound that makes your heart do a little happy dance, you can't go wrong with Audio-Technica. Come see (and hear) the range for yourself at Rockaway Records – in-store or online – and let’s get you listening the way music should sound.
