House of Marley made its name with consumers offering eco-conscious headphones and loudspeakers. The brand new Stir it Up Lux Bluetooth turntable has been unveiled and it comes equipped with an Audio-Technica MM Phono Cartridge, Bluetooth connectivity, and a switchable phono pre-amplifier.
The Stir It Up Lux (Model Number: EM-JT010) honors Bob Marley’s legacy of love for music and the planet by providing an excellent music listening experience with sustainability in mind.
The new Stir it Up Lux features an updated design and upgraded features.
In addition to vinyl record playback, the Stir it Up Lux is equipped with Bluetooth (vr 5.3) connectivity adding flexibility for music playback (allows wireless connection to any Bluetooth speaker).
For added flexibility, the Stir it Up Lux has a switchable phono preamp output. This enables it to physically connect to any amplifier or audio system that has either a dedicated phono input or standard RCA line inputs.
The Stir It Up Lux was created in collaboration with Bob Marley’s family to honor the music legend’s love for music in its purest form.
From Cedella Marley, daughter of Bob Marley and an accomplished singer and entrepreneur: “Vinyl is the most genuine way to listen to your favorite music – there’s no skipping tracks, so you’re listening to the album exactly as the artist intended you to…That’s everything for a musician. Immersing yourself deep in the roots of an album with House of Marley’s new Stir it Up Lux turntable is an unforgettable experience.”

Sustainability
As stated previously, the Stir It Up Lux Bluetooth Turntable is also about sustainability. Carefully crafted using bamboo, aluminum, glass, and cork, this music must-have harnesses the power of mindfully-sourced materials while delivering a sleek and compact design.
Bamboo is one of the world’s fastest-growing plants which can grow up to a meter in height in just 24 hours – making it an extremely renewable resource.
Aluminum and glass are both infinitely recyclable, while cork is made from stripped-down bark as opposed to cut-down trees.
The anti-slip reversible mat has a cork natural aesthetic on one side, while the flipside has a special Zoetrope design that adds a pop of color and an unexpected animation that elevates your vinyl experience.
Tip: Each purchase contributes to House of Marley’s global give-back initiative, Project Marley, which supports global reforestation through One Tree Planted.
Price and Availability
The Stir it Up Lux is priced at $399.99 and is available at House of Marley, Amazon, and other select retailers.
