At the heart of the Audio-Technica Hotaru turntable is a levitating sub-chassis with magnetic repulsion. The sub-chassis "floats" above the body of the device, effectively isolating the cartridge and tonearm from external vibrations, providing clear sound. The adaptive lighting system with a palette of twenty colors synchronizes with the music in real time. Owners can choose from three different modes - basic constant glow, gradations for a smooth transition or pulsation.
