The AT-LPW50PB is a fully manual belt-drive turntable designed to give you optimal high-fidelity audio reproduction from vinyl. It features an anti-resonance 30 mm thick MDF (medium density fiberboard) plinth with a high-gloss piano-black finish to dampen low-frequency acoustical feedback and a sensor-monitored motor to ensure accurate platter rotation speeds of 33-1/3 and 45 RPM.
The turntable includes a straight matte-finish carbon-fiber tonearm with adjustable tracking force and an AT-HS4 universal "-mount headshell with a black AT-VM95E Dual Moving Magnet phono cartridge (black). Audio-Technica has been a leader in phono cartridge design for more than 50 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.
The AT-LPW50PB is equipped with a built-in selectable phono preamp and a detachable dual RCA output cable to enable direct connection to components with or without a dedicated phono input.
