High quality records
at the push of a button
In case you are not a subscriber of the Dutch Playboy (yet), we're proud to share the proof of concept: PHONOCUT is among the most wanted Tech Gear Porn Items for next year!!! Hardly ever before have we felt so sexy about our invention...
Our dream to introduce a new chapter of record production by creating PHONOCUT - a revolutionary machine that reduces record production to 3 simple steps - was made possible thanks to a breathtaking Kickstarter campaign. Successfully funded as of November 15th, 2019, with 387 backers pledging a total amount of EUR 458,689.00. You can still view our Kickstarter video here. This fund will be used in order to trigger the next essential steps, as it takes 12 more essentially important months of development before we can introduce the PHONOCUT and provide the final facts and figures for this dream machine.
Since the invention of record discs in 1889, mankind has been dreaming of a simple but precise desktop machine which would enable anybody to produce their own quality records with just the push of a button. Since the 1930s several machines were introduced to the market that all failed to reach a broader audience, mostly due to poor sound quality, overly complicated technical handling or unaffordable pricing.
2019, more than 70 years later, vinyl records are celebrating a surprising worldwide comeback but still their production is still locked up inside of high-tech, high-volume pressing plants. But as we know technology exploded in many fields opening up the incredible opportunity to finally re-think and re-invent record production. This is exactly what we did together with a small team of globally acknowledged experts:
Today introducing the PHONOCUT HOME VINYL RECORDER.
A simply revolutionary precision machine, to finally introduce a new chapter of record production by reducing it to 3 simple steps:
1) Place the Vinyl blank on the platter
2) Connect to the music input of your choice

Currently we are traveling LA, one of the world`s music capitals, with our sexy shining and fully functional PHONOCUT HOME VINYL RECORDER prototype for a whole series of first PHONOCUT recording test sessions. Surprising not only true professionals and high end studio owners but basically all music lovers with all the opportunities this machine opens up. Allow us to take us with you on our first adventures.

One of the maybe most important facts about the PHONOCUT is that it allows to expand the classic mixed tape concept to vinyl. Enabling you to create your very personal real vinyl compilations from your virtual playlists.
We had the pleasure to personally introduce the Homecut to attending journalists and fair attendees of Making Vinyl on Monday, October 14, at PHONOCUT's demo suite at Making Vinyl. Impressing everyone, from hobby musicians to studio owners.
