Shock rock extraordinaire Alice Cooper has teamed up with Revox for the launch of a reel-to-reel tape recorder, decorated with a fitting black and red aesthetic.
The machine is limited to just 25 units, and arrives alongside an Alice Cooper turntable too, of which there are only 50 available. To celebrate the exclusive collaboration, Revox is also offering buyers the chance to take part in a meet and greet with Cooper, with one event in taking place in Munich and one in the USA at the end of 2025.
The tape recorder, which is a revamped version of Revox’s MK III model, is signed and numbered by Cooper himself. It comes with a master tape of his 2018 EP, The Sound of A, and has original Revox motors, improved recording heads, a special capstan shaft with a new pressure roller, and a digital counter.
As for the T77 turntable, this has a full picture of Cooper’s face on it, and also comes with a master vinyl of The Sound of A. It’s described as a high-end record player with a unique, integrated MC phono preamplifier, and also includes a specially designed NAB adapter-shaped record weight and a Neutrik XLR/RCA adapter.
The T77 has a “highly precise” electronic PLL speed control via a non-contact optical sensor, and the tonearm is made of high-quality metals, with a carbon fiber tonearm tube. It also has an MC Ortofon Quintet Black S cartridge, which is very fancily equipped with a Nude Shibata diamond, mounted on a sapphire cantilever.

“The Alice Cooper Limited Edition tape machine and turntable shine in an exclusive and extraordinary design that embodies the uniqueness of Alice Cooper’s music and performance and at the same time reflects the technological brilliance of Revox,” says the brand.
“The incomparable aura that both Alice Cooper and Revox radiate through their groundbreaking innovations is a source of great fascination. This makes each of these limited edition products an audiophile masterpiece and also a visual work of art for the music world.”
The tape recorder is priced at £23,123, while the turntable is £7,655. You can find out more over at Revox. The units will begin to ship in July.
