NTS Radio and Swedish audio company Atonemo released a dedicated hardware player on June 19, 2026, that streams the station’s live channels and archived mixtapes to any stereo or powered speakers. 5 mm jack. An adapter cable for RCA inputs is included.
Two dedicated buttons on the top panel tune directly to NTS 1 and NTS 2. A large dial with 16 detents lets users switch between the station’s various mixtape streams. The device supports AirPlay 2, Google Cast, Spotify Connect and Tidal Connect, allowing listeners to move from NTS programming to services such as Qobuz or Apple Music without additional hardware.
Bluetooth is not available out of the box. Atonemo confirmed that support will be added through a future firmware update. NTS Radio has operated since 2011, relying on human curators and guest hosts rather than algorithmic playlists.
Frequent guests have included Axel Boman, Arushi Jain and Wu-Lu. The Verge published the report and added the Bluetooth update notice on the same day.
