Spinbox - A DIY Portable Turntable Kit

Created by Spinbox Team

Spinbox is a do-it-yourself turntable kit designed to encourage more people to enjoy vinyl records. It’s great for everyone from vinyl novices to professional scratch DJs, includes everything you need straight from the box and can be assembled in half an hour. Constructed with versatility in mind, Spinbox plays all sizes and speeds of vinyl records and works as a scratch turntable. It contains a built-in amplifier and speaker units, with the option to connect to headphones or external speakers via line out connection. Spinbox can also be used as a speaker for other devices through line in connection. It was fully funded within 40 minutes of going live, hit $50,000 in funding within the first 4 hours, and finished with over $240,000 in pledges by the end of the campaign. Spinbox was featured as a Kickstarter “Project We Love” and a Kickstarter featured product in the Design category, as well as by press including FACTmag, Discogs, NME, Uncrate, and Mixmag. Miss out on the Kickstarter campaign? No worries! You can still get Spinbox at a great value by pre-ordering from this site, along with Spinbox styluses, stickers, tote bags, and our specially produced Record Pack.

Latest Updates from Our Project:

$200k Stretch Goal Unlocked + BackerClub!
over 6 years ago – Fri, Aug 25, 2017 at 09:41:38 AM

Hey Kickstarter backers!

We did it! We’ve hit our stretch goal of $200,000!

Your replacement stylus will ensure you’ve got tons of top quality listening time on your Spinbox. It’s recommended that vinyl lovers replace their styluses annually or after 500 hours of listening time, whatever comes first!

As for the record, to share both vinyl and DJ culture with the Spinbox community, we’re producing the Spinbox 7” record to give collectors a taste of both worlds.

One side will be a skipless scratch tool for DJs and the other side will be music produced by our founder, DJ QuestionMark.

Add US$25 to your pledge for the add-on record + stylus pack:

1 x Spinbox Record

1 x Replacement Stylus

If you’d like 2 packs or more, add US$50, and so on.

Please note: we’ll be shipping the record packs at a later delivery date than Spinbox, as we want to ensure top quality production of the vinyl pressing. You’ll get FREE SHIPPING on the record packs.

Also, please be sure to confirm your order including the shipping address, units of record, and color of exterior at the end of the campaign.

We’re also pleased to announce that we’re working with BACKERCLUB!
