What better way to honor National Retro Day than with the nostalgia of the Audio-Technica Sound Burger? Talk a walk back in time with us as we dive into the iconic history behind this legacy product.
The Original Sound Burger
Jumping back to 1983, the original Sound Burger, or known in the U.S. as Master Disc, was officially released. The Sound Burger made history as it was a breakthrough in vinyl history, allowing analog lovers to enjoy music on the go. Back then, the Sound Burger was powered by batteries and included a pair of foldable headphones. With these features, it was no wonder it became an instant cult classic.
The Return of the an Icon
The legendary Sound Burger made its official return in 2022, commemorating Audio-Technica’s 60th Anniversary. The response of the return of the classic Sound Burger was overwhelming – selling out in just a matter of days worldwide.
As part of the 60th anniversary lineup, the AT-SB2022 stayed true to its original version, available in a retro red, black, yellow, and white and included a unique one-of-a-kind serial number. However, it was the modern updates like Bluetooth® connectivity and the impressive battery life that really propelled the Sound Burger to new heights.
