Gadhouse is a Bangkok-based music and lifestyle brand from Thailand that makes retro-styled record players for people buying their first turntable. It was started by two engineers who wanted to pair vintage looks with modern connectivity, and its range stays small and inexpensive.
Range & what it's known for
The best-known model is the Brad, a three-speed belt-drive deck with built-in speakers, Bluetooth 5.0, RCA outputs and a 3.5mm jack, taking 7 to 12 inch records. A Black Edition adds a 2000mAh rechargeable battery for three to four hours of cordless play. Higher up sits the Henry, a mid-century styled deck in mahogany with an Audio-Technica AT3600L cartridge, USB recording and a pair of bookshelf speakers.
Who owns it and where it's made
Gadhouse is a privately held company founded in Bangkok. Ownership and production locations beyond that are not disclosed in public sources.
The lineup in this catalog
Turntables. The Brad Retro Mk II is listed here - a belt-drive player with 33, 45 and 78rpm speeds, a plastic platter and a compact 330 x 280 x 115mm body of about 2kg.
Who it's for
Newcomers to vinyl who want a compact, low-cost player that works out of the box, including 78rpm discs. The Brad covers the basics, while the Henry with its separate speakers and named cartridge is the better-equipped model.
