You may also like
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.
At the heart of the AT-LP70X is a top-notch phono cartridge for unmatched, high-fidelity audio. Built with Audio-Technica’s industry-leading phono cartridge expertise, the AT-VM95C is a versatile, superior-performance cartridge that other turntables in this class simply can’t beat. Integrated into the J-shaped tonearm, the AT-VM95C cartridge with a 0.6 mil conical stylus offers excellent channel separation and low distortion for outstanding tonal quality. To further personalize vinyl listening, the stylus can also be easily upgraded with any other styli (elliptical, micro linear, or Shibata) in our VM95 Series, offering unprecedented customization for a turntable in this category.
To ensure peak sound performance, the AT-LP70X includes a three-piece, anti-resonance chassis that provides a solid foundation to dampen unwanted noise for improved sound quality. The included AC adapter further reduces noise as the AC/DC conversion is moved to the outside of the chassis to limit any unfavorable noise.
The AT-LP70X comes with a detachable RCA cable (dual RCA male to dual RCA male with ground), 45 RPM adapter, and a removable hinged dust cover. Available in three sleek colors, Black/Silver, Black/Bronze, or White/Silver to customize your turntable to your style preference.
Easy to Use
Simple, Intuitive Design
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
Instant Upgrade Path
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
Works with Powered Speakers
