Audio-Technica AT-SBC1 Sound Burger Storage Case at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada

The AT-SBC1 is a hard-shell storage case from Audio-Technica (Tokyo, Japan), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada. Designed exclusively for the Sound Burger portable turntable series, it is compatible with both the AT-SB727 and the limited-edition AT-SB2022 models. Constructed from recycled ABS plastic, the AT-SBC1 replicates the look of classic fast-food take-out containers from the 1970s and 1980s, complete with the original green SOUND BURGER logo on the lid. The case features a snap latch closure and integrated carry handle for secure, comfortable transport, and it is designed to allow full use and charging of the Sound Burger without removing the turntable from the case. Available in beige or white, it measures 414.4 mm wide by 144.4 mm deep by 94.2 mm tall.

Purpose-Built Protection for the Sound Burger

The AT-SBC1 is contoured specifically to the dimensions of the AT-SB727 and AT-SB2022 Sound Burger models, providing a secure fit that prevents the turntable from shifting during storage or transport. The hard ABS shell guards against scratches, dust, and incidental impacts that are inevitable when carrying any portable device. A dedicated accessory storage compartment inside the case holds the included RCA audio cable, USB-C charging cable, and 45 RPM adapter, keeping all components together in one place. The snap latch closure keeps the case sealed during transit without requiring tools or additional hardware to operate.

Retro Aesthetic and Play-Through Design

Audio-Technica designed the AT-SBC1 to be more than a protective shell. The case is modelled after the iconic clamshell hamburger containers that were ubiquitous in fast-food restaurants during the same era as the original AT-770 Sound Burger, extending the retro identity of the turntable to its carrying case. The original green SOUND BURGER logo is printed on the lid, matching the period-accurate branding of the AT-SB727. Crucially, the case allows the Sound Burger to be played and charged while seated inside it, so there is no need to unpack the turntable before spinning records at a picnic, a social gathering, or a compact living space. The integrated handle sits flush with the case profile for easy one-handed carrying.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Audio-Technica AT-SBC1?

The Audio-Technica AT-SBC1 is a hard-shell storage and carrying case made from recycled ABS plastic, designed specifically for the Sound Burger portable turntable in AT-SB727 and AT-SB2022 variants. It protects the turntable from scratches, dust, and transit damage while replicating the visual style of 1970s and 1980s fast-food take-out containers. It is available in beige or white with the original green SOUND BURGER logo on the lid.

Which turntable models does the AT-SBC1 fit?

The AT-SBC1 is designed exclusively for the Audio-Technica Sound Burger AT-SB727 and AT-SB2022 portable turntables. It is not a universal turntable case and will not fit other record players due to its custom-contoured interior. Owners of either Sound Burger variant can use the AT-SBC1 interchangeably.

Can I play and charge the Sound Burger while it is inside the AT-SBC1?

Yes. The AT-SBC1 is specifically designed to allow the Sound Burger to be played and charged via USB-C without removing the turntable from the case. This makes it practical for use at a picnic, a friend's home, or any setting where unpacking and repacking would be inconvenient.

Does the AT-SBC1 have room for accessories?

Yes. The AT-SBC1 includes a dedicated internal storage compartment for cables and accessories. The Sound Burger's included RCA audio cable, USB-C charging cable, and 45 RPM adapter all fit within the case alongside the turntable, keeping the full kit together in one portable package.

What material is the AT-SBC1 made from?

The AT-SBC1 is constructed from recycled ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) plastic, a rigid thermoplastic commonly used in hard-shell protective cases for its resistance to impact, heat, and chemical exposure. The use of recycled ABS reduces the environmental footprint of the case without compromising durability or structural integrity.

How does the AT-SBC1 compare to third-party Sound Burger cases?

The AT-SBC1 is the only case made by Audio-Technica specifically for the Sound Burger, with an interior contoured to the exact dimensions of the AT-SB727 and AT-SB2022. Third-party alternatives such as the CASEMATIX travel case are universal-fit soft or semi-hard cases with shoulder straps but without the play-through design that lets you spin records without unpacking. The AT-SBC1 is the only option that matches the Sound Burger's retro visual identity and allows in-case use.
