Edwards Audio has partnered with Melbourne-based distributor Jay Vee Technologies, which expands its range to include turntables, tonearms, and stereo audio electronics from the acclaimed UK hi-fi manufacturer.

Edwards Audio has enjoyed a very successful year, winning the 2024 StereoNET Product of The Year in the “Affordable Turntable” category in January, amongst other accolades, for their TT4 turntable.

The brand was created in 2009 by Kevin Edwards, the founder of TALK Electronics. Beginning with the MC1, a compact MM/MC phono stage, the Edwards range has expanded to include ranges of turntables, phono preamplifiers, pre/power/integrated amplification, external speed controllers and tonearms which are offered at several tiers, all manufactured in the UK.

Edwards Audio has taken a unique and innovative approach to turntable design. Its in-house manufactured uni-pivot tonearms and plinths, built with dense MDF panels sandwiched with dampening material, are finished in several colours with acrylic platters across the range. According to the company, this design reduces static and transmission through the plinth of vibration, setting their products apart in the market.

John Vandenberghe, Director of Jay Vee Technologies, told StereoNET:

We are delighted to be working with such an experienced and knowledgeable team as Edwards Audio. Their expansion has been steady and it’s encouraging to know that it is still very possible in this day and age to construct well built and designed equipment in a factory in Wiltshire by hand and still be competitive from the entry-level to the high-end.

Australian pricing and availability are still being confirmed, but stock is on its way - dealer enquiries are welcome.
