Henley Audio Launches Scorpions Special Edition Turntable

Henley Audio has unveiled a limited‑run Scorpions Special Edition turntable, pairing the band's iconic aesthetic with audiophile engineering for fans and vinyl enthusiasts.

Positioned as both a collector's item and a serious hi‑fi component, the deck promises crisp, engaging playback with a design that stands out. Exclusive artwork and bold visual accents nod to The Scorpions' legacy, while the platform is built on the acclaimed T2 audiophile belt‑drive architecture, uniting rock heritage with modern precision. Whether on display or in daily use, it’s intended to make a statement.

Build quality focuses on suppressing resonance and external interference. A CNC‑machined plinth, expanded for greater mass and stability, eliminates hollow cavities to curb unwanted vibrations so nothing colours the sound. A heavy glass platter provides a zero‑resonance base that far outperforms plastic or lightweight steel alternatives, and carefully tuned isolation feet help keep ambient vibrations at bay. The result is controlled, clean playback that preserves fine detail from acoustic passages to arena‑scale dynamics.

Tracking accuracy is addressed with a straight 9‑inch aluminium tonearm featuring ultra‑low‑friction bearings. Its one‑piece design with integrated headshell increases rigidity and reduces vibration compared with detachable systems, while an adjustable spring‑based anti‑skate keeps the stylus seated correctly in the groove. Supplied with the Pick it 25A Moving Magnet cartridge, the package delivers rich detail, a wide soundstage and expressive dynamics from the outset, with crisp midrange, taut bass and a lifelike presentation suited to The Scorpions' catalogue.

Part of the Artist Collection, the model blends the spirit of one of rock’s most influential bands with engineering trusted by vinyl listeners worldwide.

• For collectors, it's a striking centrepiece.
• For listeners, it offers a chance to rediscover albums with new depth and detail.
• For Scorpions fans, it serves as a tribute worthy of their sound.
