Audio-Technica announced the release of its AT-LPW50BT fully manual belt-drive turntable, with a stunning rosewood-finished wood veneer. Additional features include an anti-resonance 30 mm thick MDF (medium density fiberboard) plinth and a sensor-monitored motor to ensure accurate platter rotation speeds of 33-1/3 and 45 RPM.
Audio-Technica AT-LPW50BT is equipped with a built-in selectable phono preamp and a detachable dual RCA output cable to enable direct-wired connection to components with or without a dedicated phono input. The turntable also connects wirelessly to speakers and other devices equipped with Bluetooth® wireless technology – giving users the option to enjoy optimal high-fidelity audio reproduction from vinyl with the choice of wired or wireless operation.
The turntable includes a straight carbon-fiber tonearm with adjustable tracking force and a matching matte-silver AT-HS4 universal 1⁄2″-mount headshell with a black AT-VM95E Dual Moving Magnet phono cartridge. Audio-Technica has been a leader in phono cartridge design for more than 60 years, and that expertise shows in the versatile, high-performance AT-VM95E cartridge, which comes with a 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical stylus but is also compatible with any VM95 Series replacement stylus, offering a wide choice of options for every budget and application. Accessories included are a dual RCA (male) to dual RCA (male) stereo cable, 45 RPM adapter, rubber mat, and removable hinged dust cover.
The AT-LPW50BT turntable is available with an MSRP of $499.00.
