AUDIOTECHNICA AT-LP2X

The AT-LP2X combines high fidelity features in a sleek design to deliver impressive sound quality at a great price. It's perfect if you're looking for an automatic turntable that will grow with your needs as you build the perfect home stereo system. It offers ease of use, performance, affordability and options to add or upgrade the turntable's core features.

The AT-LP2X is a fully automatic belt-drive turntable with switchable controls to play 12" and 7" vinyl records at one of two speeds: 33-1/3 and 45 RPM. Being fully automatic, starting and stopping records is done by simply pressing the START and STOP buttons on the front of the player. With these controls, you don't have to manually lift the needle to play your favourite music: the buttons will automatically lift and position the toner. However, if you want to do it manually, a hydraulically damped lift control allows the stylus to be lowered and raised precisely and safely at any point on the disc.

The AT-LP2X's straight, balanced tone arm comes with a 1/2" universal mounting head and Audio-Technica's AT91R dual moving-magnet phono cartridge, with the option to swap in other moving-magnet or moving-coil cartridges. All this gives you an excellent, high-fidelity listening experience and the flexibility to upgrade. It has a die-cast, anti-resonant aluminium platter with a felt mat; features a damped base construction to reduce low-frequency feedback; and includes a 45 RPM adapter and a hinged, smoked-clear dust cover.

On the back of the AT-LP2X is a PHONO/LINE switch; an attached dual-RCA output cable; and an AC input for connecting the included power cord. Depending on your setup, switch the PHONO/LINE switch to LINE when using the AT-LP2X with a stereo preamp, or to PHONO - which will turn on the internal preamp - when connecting directly to speakers.
