- Majority Unveils D50X Bookshelf Speakers…
- … and Auto Turntable
- Both affordable, colorful and here in time for Record Store Day
If the high cost of a vinyl-ready Hi-Fi is putting you off the hobby, then Majority’s new release may change your mind (as may our Sound Editor’s four-strong roundup of two-product wireless vinyl setups), and it’s here just in time for Record Store Day on April 18.
The brand has revealed two new offerings which are on sale right now from various UK retailers (US and AU availability TBC, but unlikely).
First, there’s the Majority D50X, a pair of bookshelf speakers that come in red, green, white, or black. They put out 60W with a range of connectivity options and cost £69.95 (approx $100 / AU$140).

Then there’s the Majority Auto, an automatic Bluetooth turntable which is priced at £129.95. It has a built-in phono preamplifier, automatic tonearm and belt drive, and aux and line-out outputs as well as Bluetooth. Sounds like perfect RSD prep to me…
As you can see from the price, none of these devices are aimed at the very discerning audiophile for whom money is no obstacle, especially since Bluetooth is the name of the game. But they are an affordable way for the average buyer to get an easy-to-use vinyl setup.
Record Store Day incoming
Record Store Day is a UK institution where indie record stores around the UK and Ireland come together to offer promotions to celebrate the vinyl format.
This year it falls on April 18 and the organizers have already shared a list of the exclusive releases that will be sold on the day.
Of course, people who don’t own a turntable are left out of the festivities, and with many of the best turntables costing a pretty penny (not to mention decent speakers costing more), people who don’t have big budgets can feel left out.
Luckily, there are some budget turntables available, and this new Majority bundle will be a perfect way to get in on the Record Store Day fun without breaking the bank.
