Audio-Technica - Stereo Turntable - Silver
- Key Specs
- Drive Type: Direct drive
- Operation Type: Manual (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: MM (Moving Magnet) (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 Phono
- Network Connector(s): No network connectors

- Turntable Type: Component (All-in-one turntables have built-in speakers and an integrated preamp for optimal listening pwithout need for other device connections. Component turntables consist of the main turntable (may require separate purchase of cartridge) and require external connections before use. DJ turntables are digital devices with special features and sound effects intended for professional use.)
- Playable Record Speeds: 78, 33 1/3, 45
- Turntable Motor Type: DC (servo controlled)
- Wow and Flutter: 0.2 percent (Measures "frequency wobble" or the level of distortion caused by speed fluctuations typically measured at kHz. The lower the percentage, the better the player's ability to sustain proper pitch and avoid distortion.)
- Speed Variation: 78rpm, 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.)
- Anti-Skate Mechanism: true (Keeps the tonearm in place with an opposing force, to prevent it from "skating" toward the center of the record and skipping or scratching during playback.)

Whats Included
- Audio-Technica Stereo Turntable
A: A pre amp , yes. Can turn it on or off.
Q: Does this have speakers, or do I have to buy them separate? If I do, do I need a stereo receiver?
A: This is just the turntable and it needs to be plugin to a stereo system that takes RCA input cables
Q: Would this turntable work in Europe with 220V power input?
A: Yes. This product would work in Europe.
Q: Why doesn't the turntable arm return to resting position after album is finished playing?
A: Because it is a fully manual turntable. Not everyone wants auto-return, or auto anything. You want either a semi-automatic, or a fully automatic turntable. A semi-automatic turntable will automatically return the tonearm at the end of play and stop spinning. You will still have to manually start the turntable however. A fully automatic turntable will return and stop as well, and it will also start with the press of a button. It will start spinning, the arm will lift up off the tonearm rest, go over to the beginning of the record, then go down to the record and start playing it. We do manufacture some fully automatic models at this time. No semi-automatic models however. Consider the AT-LP60 Series or the AT-LP3 Fully Automatic Turntables instead.
A: It depends on what type of computer you have, Windows or Mac, and the Operating System on the computer. Windows computers have a "Listen to this device" option that will allow the turntable to play through the computers speakers without the use of an audio recording program, Mac computers do not have such an option however, you will need an audio recording program installed on your Mac computer that has a MONITOR function which allows you to listen to a record through the computers speakers without having to actually be recording the record at the time.
A: If the stereo has a dedicated PHONO input that accepts magnetic type phono cartridges, the turntable can be used with this input. If the PHONO input does NOT support a magnetic type phono cartridge, the turntable can be used with a line level input such as AUX IN instead. In this case, you will need to turn on the phono preamplifier located inside the turntable. This is done by setting the preamp selector switch located on the rear of the turntable to the LINE position.
Q: Is there another model that has all these features and auto return?
A: No, there is not.
A: If you are connecting the turntable to any type of input OTHER THAN a PHONO input make certain that the phono preamplifier inside the turntable is turned on. That is the preamp selector switch located on the rear of the turntable is set to LINE.
