Audio-Technica AT-LP70X-BG Fully Automatic Belt-Drive Turntable

The AT-LP70X fully automatic belt-drive turntable is designed for budding vinylphiles – those who love the engaged, real-world experience of listening to records, from flipping through albums at the record store, to placing a record on the turntable, cueing the tonearm, and sitting back with the album art in hand to enjoy warm, analog music as the artist intended.

Arguably, the most important component for generating high-fidelity audio from vinyl is a quality phono cartridge. Audio-Technica has been a leader in phono cartridge design for more than 60 years, and we’ve drawn on that expertise to create a versatile, high-performance cartridge for this turntable – performance that other turntables in this class simply can’t match.

Integrated into the J-shaped tonearm, the AT-VM95C cartridge with 0.6 conical stylus offers excellent channel separation and low distortion for outstanding tonal quality. And the stylus can also be easily upgraded with any of the other styli (elliptical, microlinear, or Shibata) in our VM95 Series, offering customization that is normally only possible on a turntable with a detachable headshell and cartridge.

The easy-to-use AT-LP70X plays both 33-1/3 and 45 RPM records and, with its built-in switchable phono preamp, can be connected directly to a home stereo, powered speakers, computer and other components, whether they have a dedicated phono input or not. The three-piece, anti-resonance chassis provides a solid foundation that dampens unwanted noise for improved sound quality. Noise is further reduced by the inclusion of an AC adapter that moves the AC/DC conversion outside of the chassis to limit its impact o

The turntable comes with a detachable RCA output cable (dual RCA male to dual RCA male with ground), 45 RPM adapter, and removable hinged dust cover, and is available in three color schemes: Black/Gray, Black/Bronze, and White/Silver.
