The Analogue: Globe-Trotter X Analogue Foundation Listening Station

Portable audio has continued to minimise. However, the fruits of a collaboration between a luxury luggage brand and The Analogue Foundation shows that a listening station can be refined – and large. Meet The Analogue.

High-end travel lifestyle brand, Globe-Trotter has teamed up with The Analogue Foundation to bring us the ultimate Listening Station: The Analogue.

The Analogue Foundation, in case you were unaware, was established by Audio-Technica, Grammy Award-winning producer and studio engineer Russell Elevado and the international art and genre-bending music group Soundwalk Collective.

Globe-Trotter X Analogue Foundation Listening Station

The Analogue listening station will be unveiled on February 1, 2018 at Spiritland, King’s Cross – London’s leading music cafe? and bar. Naturally, GadgetyNews will be there.

In a world where everything is going digital, Globe-Trotter and The Analogue Foundation both appreciate the quality and richness of analogue. Furthermore, they place value on craftsmanship and design.

Additionally, they are aware of the power of an object to evoke memories and how we can form a personal attachment to it. The analogue listening experience is one you won’t forget in a hurry.

Vinyl and cocktails

Mixing life’s greatest pleasures – good music with good drink – the Globe-Trotter X Analogue Foundation Listening Station allows you to play records carefully selected by The Analogue Foundation on a customised turntable.

Stored in a rugged flight case is all you could possibly need. It goes without saying that this is a rather sylish flight case.

The turntable is offered with a selection of high-quality Audio-Technica phono cartridges. Choices include the AT-ART9 magnetic core moving coil and AT33Sa Shibata stylus.

Also, you are presented with a choice of Audio-Technica’s ATH-ADX5000, ATH-A2000Z, ATH-W1000Z and ATH-W5000 headphones.

Once you’ve settled down with your favourite vinyl, lean back and enjoy a favourite drink from a built-in cocktail drawer. As you would expect, this comes complete with a set of tumblers and decanter.

Then it’s time to kick back, relax and listen: even your most frequently played tracks will take on new life through the power of analogue.

Come and listen

The Globe-Trotter X Analogue Foundation Listening Station will be on display in Globe-Trotter’s UK flagship store: 35 Albemarle Street, London from Monday 19th February, 2018. Head to the bespoke lounge.
