The Trettitre Retro Ambient Audio System is a modular, wall-mounted audio setup inspired by Dieter Rams' 1965 Wandanlage. This system combines a record player, CD player, and cassette deck, along with a magnetic phone holder, all snapping onto a metal rack. It aims to evoke a tangible connection to music across different eras, with each player representing a distinct period. The design emphasizes aesthetics, transforming functional components into wall art.The LP3 turntable features a unique glowing panel and wireless charging, with a battery lasting up to 10 hours and an automatically adjusting tonearm. The DP3 CD player and CP3 cassette deck also offer similar battery life and are visually distinct. The magnetic phone holder acknowledges the prevalence of streaming, allowing for Bluetooth connectivity.While designed to be wall-mounted, the vertical playback of records presents engineering challenges, with early users reporting pitch distortion on busy tracks. Trettitre claims to have addressed these issues through mechanical adjustments to the tonearm. The system relies on Bluetooth or a headphone jack for audio output, making it less suitable for audiophiles. The system is currently available for $529, though this price may increase. It appeals to those who appreciate the ritual of physical media over algorithmic music selection.
