The Audio Technica AT LP5X Fully Manual Direct Drive Turntable (Black) is designed for vinyl enthusiasts who value high performance and modern features. It builds on Audio Technica's rich analog heritage featuring a direct drive low noise motor that supports three speeds: 33 1/3 45 and 78 RPM. The J shaped tonearm inspired by classic Audio Technica models from the 1960s and '70s includes a metallic gimbal suspension system and precision bearings to reduce tracking errors. It comes equipped with the AT VM95E Dual Moving Magnet stereo cartridge known for its excellent channel separation and low distortion. The AT LP5X also features a built in switchable MM/MC phono preamp allowing it to connect directly to a computer home stereo or powered speakers. Anti vibration damping materials and heavy mass metal chassis inserts minimize low frequency acoustical feedback ensuring high fidelity sound. Additionally the USB output enables easy digital conversion of vinyl records. With its combination of classic design and modern technology the AT LP5X offers a versatile and high quality listening experience for audiophiles.
