Audio Technica LP70X Fully Automatic Belt Drive Turntable

The AT-LP70X Fully Automatic Belt-Drive Turntable is an ideal starting point for those beginning their audiophile journey. It delivers a quality sound experience for record enthusiasts, from flipping through albums at the store to placing a record on the turntable, cueing the tonearm, and enjoying music as the artist intended. Combining the warmth of analog audio with user-friendly features, this turntable plays both 33-1/3 and 45 RPM records and includes a built-in switchable phono preamp for easy connection to a home stereo, powered speakers, or other components, with or without a dedicated phono input.

At the heart of the AT-LP70X is a top-tier phono cartridge for unmatched high-fidelity audio. Leveraging Audio-Technica’s industry-leading expertise, the versatile AT-VM95C cartridge integrated into the J-shaped tonearm offers excellent channel separation and low distortion for outstanding tonal quality. For further personalization, the stylus can be easily upgraded with any styli from the VM95 Series, including elliptical, microlinear, or Shibata options, providing unprecedented customization for a turntable in this category.

To ensure peak sound performance, the AT-LP70X features a three-piece, anti-resonance chassis that dampens unwanted noise for improved sound quality. The included AC adapter minimizes noise by moving the AC/DC conversion outside the chassis. The turntable also comes with a detachable RCA cable (dual RCA male to dual RCA male with ground), a 45 RPM adapter, and a removable hinged dust cover. Available in three sleek colors—Black/Silver, Black/Bronze, or White/Silver—you can customize the turntable to match your style preference.
