Audio-Technica - Stereo Turntable - Sleek black
- 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.)
- Integrated Preamp: true (An audio component that amplifies the turntable's audio signal to a level compatible for connection to a sound system.)
- 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.)

Whats Included
- Audio-Technica Stereo Turntable
Q: Does this unit have auto arm return? Does it have a pre-amp?
A: It is an excellent manual turntable. As such, it does not have an automatic return arm. Manual turntables require you to place the tone arm down with the cueing lever to start listening to the record, and lift it with the cueing lever when it's finished. But they sound much better than automatic turntables, because there are no additional motors idling constantly to create vibrations that are transmitted through the stylus to your ears. It does have a preamp.
Q: does it have an automatic stop when it gets to the end of a record?
A: The AT LP5 turntable not an automatic turntable. It is a completely manual one. You need to use the cueing lever to start listening to the record, and to return the tone arm to its resting place after the record is finished. Because manual turntables do not have an additional motor dedicated to operating the tone arm, there are fewer vibrations that might distort the sound.
Q: Does it come with a dust cover? I read somewhere you have to pay extra for it.
A: Yes, a dust cover is included at no additional cost.
Q: Can you recommend compatible speaker system for this record player?
A: Check out the Edifier R1280T and R1280DB Powered Speakers.
Q: Will the AT-LP60XHP record player play 16" records?

Q: I understand this item is SOLD OUT. Is there a wait list for this item ?
A: This item has been discontinued. At some point, it may be replaced with an updated version.
Q: Can this be used to record vinyl records to CD?
A: Along with a computer to connect it to, yes.
A: The AT-LP3 and the 60 Series turntables are both fully automatic as you have described.
