Audio-Technica - Stereo Turntable - Black/Gunmetal
- Key Specs
- Drive Type: Belt drive
- Operation Type: Automatic (Automatic turntables move the tonearm into position to begin playing a record and remove it when the record is finished, typically with a single push of a button. Semi-automatic turntables require user interaction to place the tonearm inititally, but will automatically remove it after playback. Manual turntables require the user to place and remove the tonearm as needed.)
- Cartridge Type Included: Not included (Phono cartridges translate the grooves in a record into electrical signals to produce sound. There are two main types: moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC). Generally, MM cartridges have a robust design and high output levels. MC cartridges have an inverse design of MM that is lightweight and more precise, but usually require a preamp to boost their lower output signals.)
- Audio Only Outputs: 1 x 3.5mm audio
- Network Connector(s): No network connectors

- Speed Variation: 33.3rpm, 45rpm (The variance in platter revolutions per minute (RPM), typically asserted as +/- RPM. The smaller the variation in speed, the cleaner the sound and the fewer noticeable differences in pitch.)

Whats Included
- Audio-Technica Stereo Turntable
A: You need speakers! No sound without them. I purchased "powered speakers" by Edifier (R1280T) for $100. Love them. Saves buying a receiver. Speakers must be 'powered' without a receiver. Good luck.
Q: What are the speeds? Is a pre-amp or analog digital converter needed? Is a cartridge included?
A: The speeds are 33-1/3 and 45 RPM. A selectable (on or off) RIAA phono preamplifier is built into the unit. All of our USB models, such as this one, contain an A to D converter. The cartridges is an integral part of the tonearm assembly, only the stylus is replaceable - not the entire cartridge.
Q: How do I hook up my JBL speakers to the turntable? The speakers have 2 hook ups for wires.
A: It appears you may have passive type speaker. Passive type speakers cannot be connected directly to the turntable, only active (powered) type speakers can. If you do have passive type speakers, they will need to be connected to a stereo amplifier or receiver installed between the turntable and the speakers.
Q: Does this turntable come with a cartridge
A: Yes, it does. The cartridge is an integral part of the tonearm. Note that only the stylus is replaceable, not the cartridge itself.
A: Make certain you have the preamp selector switch on the back of the turntable set to the correct position for the input the turntable is connected to. If the turntable is connected to the PHONO input on the amplifier or receiver, the preamp selector switch must be set to the PHONO position. Otherwise, there may be a problem with the stylus (needle).
Q: What country is this turntable Made in
A: China
A: Correct. You do not need a separate amplifier if the speakers are powered (aka active) type speakers. Powered speakers have the amplifier built into them.
Q: Can the AT60X be upgraded for better sound quality?
A: Audio-Technica does not have anything for this.
