Flexible sound with Nutube tube technology
To deliver that distinctive analog character and solid hi-fi sound, Korg has equipped the Handytraxx Tube with the heart of this model: a Nutube vacuum tube. Integrated into the built-in phono preamp, this innovative tube is based on Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) technology developed by Japan's Noritake Itron Corporation in 1966. Compared to traditional vacuum tubes, the Nutube is more compact and energy-efficient, without compromising sound quality. Thanks to its true triode construction, the Nutube offers the warm glow, deep tone and distinctive sound you expect from classic tube technology. With the Handytraxx Tube, the Nutube goes beyond mere tone enrichment: a special Tube control lets you precisely adjust the harmonic color of the sound. This allows you to add up to 6dB of gain to your signal and adjust the sound completely to your listening preference. This way you get the most out of every record, with an analog atmosphere that you can shape entirely to your own taste.

Jico precision for crisp clear playback
The Korg Handytraxx Tube is ready to use right away thanks to the pre-installed MM cartridge from Jico. This Japanese brand is known worldwide for its high-quality cartridges and needles for turntables - from DJ use to just listening at home. The included Jico J44 A7 stereo cartridge features a tapered needle equipped with a 0.7mm synthetic diamond tip and an aluminum cantilever. With an impressive frequency range of 20Hz-20kHz, this cartridge delivers powerful bass, solid midrange reproduction and wide dynamic range. The precise tracking and stable guidance of the cantilever create a detailed and spacious soundstage, where every nuance from your vinyl collection comes to life. Whether you're listening, mixing or spinning, this cartridge guarantees reliable performance and rich sound.

Hi-fi sound tailored to your taste
Whether you listen to old classics or modern pressings, the Korg Handytraxx Tube lets you enjoy your vinyl collection your way anywhere. This portable turntable is equipped with a 2-band EQ that lets you adjust the low and high frequencies separately. This way you tune the sound exactly to your preference or the room you are listening in. The frequency bands of this EQ are specifically designed with the character of vinyl in mind, so you always get the most out of your records. Thanks to three adjustable playback speeds - 33-1/3, 45 and 78 rpm - and the included EP adapter, you'll play virtually any type of record without difficulty. This makes the Handytraxx Tube the ideal companion for those who like to be able to play their record collection anywhere, without compromising on sound.

USB functionality: digitize your favorite records with analog warmth
The Korg Handytraxx Tube combines the charm of vinyl with modern capabilities. Besides the characteristic Nutube sound and extensive tone control, this turntable also offers a USB 2.0 Type-B connection. This lets you effortlessly convert your favorite records to digital format without losing the warm, analog sound. The USB output supports 2-channel PCM audio up to 48kHz/16-bit. Ideal for recording your record collection or transferring directly to another system. All set timbre, EQ settings and tube characteristics are included, so you keep your unique sound - even when playing or archiving digitally. This way you connect the best of both worlds in one compact solution.

Cleverly designed for stability and flexibility
Behind the sturdy and portable design of the Korg Handytraxx Tube lies a carefully constructed interior that is all about reliable sound quality and smooth operation. The string drive and DC servo motor work together with a die-cast aluminum turntable, while smart Korg software continuously monitors speed and pitch. This ensures stable rotation and constant precision - your music is reproduced fully and faithfully, without unwanted deviations. Prefer listening through an external system? No problem. The integrated phono preamplifier supports both Phono and Line outputs. You easily switch between the two modes, allowing you to seamlessly integrate the Handytraxx Tube into your existing setup. Whether you opt for the built-in speakers, headphones or an external amplifier, this compact turntable effortlessly adapts to your way of listening.

Listen anywhere without compromise
With a portable turntable you might think: how portable is it really, especially with the fragile nature of vinyl? Yet with the Handytraxx Tube, Korg shows that mobile playback is not an empty promise. Designed for travel, the sturdy case features a fully removable dust cover that locks into a smartly shaped handle - ideal for easy transport. Thanks to the included AC adapter with five interchangeable plugs, you're ready to use worldwide. No outlet nearby?
