The AT-LP70X Fully Automatic Belt-Drive Turntable is the perfect beginner turntable for those beginning their audiophile journey. Designed to offer a quality sound experience for those who love 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 music as the artist intended. Combining the experience of warm, analog audio with user-friendly features, this turntable plays both 33-1/3 and 45 RPM records and has a built-in switchable phono preamp that allows the turntable to connect to a home stereo, powered speakers, or another component, with or without a dedicated phono input. Easy to Use With its integrated AT-VM95C cartridge the turntable’s J-shaped tonearm requires no additional setup, such as balancing or cartridge installation. Simply select the speed you want (33⅓ or 45 RPM) then press the Start and Stop buttons to control automatic operation or use the tonearm lift lever to play specific tracks on a record. Refine Your Sound The turntable’s unique AT-VM95C Integral Dual Moving Magnet™ phono cartridge is compatible with any VM95 Series replacement stylus (see list of styli further below ), making it easy not only to replace the stylus when needed but also upgrade to a higher-quality stylus to enjoy more refined sound. Complete Your Setup Using the included RCA cable, the AT-LP70X can be connected to Audio-Technica’s AT-SP3X powered bookshelf speakers for an easy-to-manage sound system that fits in any room and requires no external amplifier.
