Leading audio brand Victrola makes some of the best turntables on the market, and their latest collaboration with Third Man Records is about to take Record Store Day 2026 by storm.

Combining Victrola’s analogue expertise with record label and music store Third Man Records (co-founded by Jack White), the two music moguls are launching an exclusive collection featuring a revamped version of the Victrola Wave turntable finished in Third Man’s iconic black and yellow colours. In addition to the turntable, the duo are also giving Victrola’s Tempo bookshelf speakers the Third Man treatment, creating a complete system.

The collection launches on the same day as the record store (April 18) and retails for $499.99/£455 for the Victrola Wave turntable and $249.99/£225 for the Tempo speakers, or you can save $100 and opt for the $649.99 limited-time bundle. It will be available to purchase online at Third Man Records and Victrola’s webstore, or you can purchase it at Third Man stores in Detroit, Nashville, and London.

“What Jack and his team have built is truly magical,” says Scott Hagen, CEO of Victrola. “They don’t just paint things yellow and black, it’s as if they give life to inanimate objects, each with its own character and soul. Perhaps that’s why vinyl and vinyl culture fit so naturally into the world of the Third Man.”

Speaking on behalf of Third Man Records, co-founder Ben Blackwell is equally excited about the collaboration, sharing, “Third Man is thrilled to be making these yellow turntables and speakers with the cool guys at Victrola.”

Victrola introduced the original Wave turntable at CES 2025 and it caught the attention of analog enthusiasts for one particular reason. In addition to offering aptX Adaptive support for higher quality listening, Victrola’s Wave turntable comes with Auracast, a Bluetooth setup that enables multi-device connectivity, going a step beyond one-to-one device pairing. Just think how cool it would be to spin your new RSD edits and listen to them all over your place. Absolute happiness.

But Victrola’s funky Wave revamp is just the beginning of the RSD celebrations associated with the company; There is also a carefully compiled collection of Third Man Records releases, including Jack White’s. orange blunderbuss and essential listening to The White Stripes Elephant. There’s also a live album by Brooklyn-based band Geese, which, as a big fan, I’m suddenly looking forward to. The launch will also be followed by an RSD event at Third Man’s store in Chicago. Is there any chance we can be included on the guest list?
