The Audio-Technica AT-LP5X Turntable:

The Audio-Technica AT-LP5X Turntable builds on over 50 years of Japanese audio excellence, updating the acclaimed performance of its predecessor while maintaining a contemporary design. It features a J-shaped tonearm, inspired by classic models from the 1960s and 1970s. This tonearm includes a metallic gimbal suspension system and precision bearings to minimize tracking errors. The adjustable counterweight and anti-skate control ensure precise tracking.

Constructed for durability, the AT-LP5X uses anti-vibration damping materials and heavy-mass metal chassis inserts to reduce low-frequency feedback. The die-cast aluminum platter, powered by a low-noise, direct-drive motor, provides stable rotation at 33-1/3, 45, and 78 RPM. A 5 mm thick rubber-damping mat enhances stability and isolates feedback, supporting all LP formats.

The turntable’s switchable MM/MC phono preamp allows direct connection to computers, home stereos, and powered speakers. Additionally, the USB output facilitates digital recording, offering flexibility for preserving your vinyl collection. Included accessories like the AT-VM95E Dual Moving Magnet cartridge and the lightweight AT-HS6 headshell ensure a high-quality listening experience.

Combining classic design with modern features, the AT-LP5X delivers exceptional sound quality and flexibility, featuring a J-shaped tonearm, high-quality cartridge, built-in preamp, and USB output.
