## Overview

The Audio-Technica AT-LP5X is a fully manual direct-drive turntable blending classic 1960s-inspired design with modern engineering. Featuring a low-noise motor, J-shaped tonearm, and a versatile 3-speed system, it supports 33-1/3, 45, and 78 RPM records. Its built-in MM/MC preamp and USB output enable seamless analog-to-digital conversion and easy integration with contemporary audio setups. Crafted with anti-vibration materials and a precision aluminum platter, the AT-LP5X delivers superior sound clarity and durability, making it a top-tier choice for audiophiles and style-conscious professionals alike.

## Description

Building on Audio-Technica’s analog heritage and over 50 years of Japanese audio design, the AT-LP5X features upgraded technology while keeping the contemporary style and acclaimed performance of its predecessor, the AT-LP5. The LP5X retains the J-shaped tonearm, a design inspired by the classic Audio-Technica models of the 1960s and ’70s, and features a metallic gimbal suspension system and precision bearings to mitigate tracking errors. The tonearm also includes an adjustable counterweight and anti-skate control and comes fitted with a lightweight (9.3g) AT-HS6 headshell and the black AT-VM95E Dual Moving Magnet stereo cartridge. Constructed of anti-vibration damping materials with heavy-mass metal chassis inserts, the AT-LP5X turntable has been designed to limit low-frequency acoustical feedback. Its precision-machined, die-cast aluminum platter is powered by a direct-drive, low-noise motor, ensuring stable, on-axis rotation at 33-1/3, 45 and 78 RPM. A 5 mm thick rubber-damping mat, which isolates from low frequency feedback while providing a highly stable surface for all LP formats, tops the platter. The AT-LP5x features a built-in switchable MM/MC phono/line preamp that enables it to connect directly to a computer, home stereo, powered speakers and other components that have no dedicated turntable input. The selection of MM/MC cartridges allow for an easy upgrade to a moving coil with additional equipment. The turntable is also equipped with a USB output for direct connection to a computer.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference, if any, between an at-lp5x direct-drive turntable & an at-lp5x fully manual direct-drive turntable?**
A: No difference in this case. They are the same. The Audio-Technica AT-LP5X only comes in manual direct drive. Direct drive turns the platter versus belt driven platter. And is only manual operation, which means you have to start it by using the control knob to set the platter rotation speed (33/45/78). You move the tonearm into place and you have to return the tonearm after the record is finished. A fully automatic turntable will move the tonearm into place, and at end of record, auto-lift it and return it back to the tonearm rest by itself without your intervention.

**Q: Is this unit wireless?**
A: No, this unit (AT-LP5x) does not have any built-in wireless/Bluetooth options. You could buy a Bluetooth adapter and connect it to back of this unit as this unit has a built-in phono stage.

**Q: Are the feet height adjustable?**
A: Thanks for your question. Yes, to adjust the level of the turntable.
World Wide Stereo – since 1979 – and a proud authorized Audio-Technica dealer.

**Q: Is this plinth plastic or metal ?**
A: Don't know what it's made of,  but construction feels solid.
