REVOX B77 MK III: Iconic Device Meets Shock-Rock Icon Alice Cooper – Limited & $28,000!
When Audio Technology Meets Rock History
Swiss audio company Revox has teamed up with rock icon Alice Cooper to present an extraordinary collector’s item: a special edition of the classic REVOX B77 MK III tape machine, limited to just 25 units worldwide. This exclusive version of the tape machine not only bears the musician’s distinctive black and red signature, but is also individually numbered and signed. But that’s not all!
REVOX B77 MK III: Alice Cooper Immortalized on Legendary Tape Recorder
The model is technically based on the revised version of the well-known Revox classic, whereby a digital counter, a newly developed capstan and optimized pick-up heads were installed in addition to the original motors. Buyers will also receive a master tape of Cooper’s 2018 EP “The Sound of A,” which is considered an audiophile document of his later creative period.
The REVOX T77 will also be released in a strictly limited edition of only 50 units. The lid features a large portrait of Alice Cooper, which, in combination with the special design, visually emphasizes the closeness to the artist.
The technical features of the model include an integrated MC phono preamplifier, a tonearm made of high-quality metals and a carbon tube, and an Ortofon Quintet Black S MC cartridge with a Nude Shibata diamond on a sapphire mount. A sophisticated electronic speed control via a non-contact optical sensor and a specially developed record weight in the form of the NAB adapter complete the setup.
What is Behind the Exclusive Alice Cooper Edition?
The REVOX B77 MK III Alice Cooper Edition stands for the combination of technical refinement, historical significance and artistic individuality. The design of the turntables goes far beyond pure branding, as both the workmanship and the accessories have been carefully curated.
In addition to the technical features, the personal connection to the artist is also in the foreground: buyers not only receive the signed equipment, but also the opportunity to participate in an exclusive meet & greet with Alice Cooper, either in Munich or in the U.S. – an offer aimed specifically at collectors with a strong connection to rock history.
Pricing and Availability of the Revox B77 MK III Alice Cooper Edition
The REVOX B77 MK III Alice Cooper Edition is priced at approximately $28,000 including shipping, making it not only an audiophile object of desire, but also an exclusive design piece with collector’s value. The corresponding T77 turntable edition costs about $9,000 and will be delivered together with the turntable from July. The focus of this cooperation is therefore less on functional use than on the experience of a sonic journey through time, embedded in an elaborately designed audiophile work of art.
