Audio-Technica AT-LP70XBT

AT-LP70XBT The AT-LP70XBT Automatic Wireless Turntable is the perfect beginner turntable for those beginning their audiophile journey. Combining the experience of warm, analog audio with the convenience of Bluetooth® technology, you can listen to your vinyl over Bluetooth-enabled speakers, headphones, or other devices, including those that support the high-quality Qualcomm® aptX™ Adaptive audio codec. This user-friendly turntable plays both 33-1/3 and 45 RPM records and, in addition to its Bluetooth wireless technology, has a built-in switchable phono preamp that allows the turntable to connect to a home stereo, powered speakers, or another component, with or without a dedicated phono input. At the heart of the AT-LP70XBT is a top-notch phono cartridge for unmatched, high-fidelity audio. Built with Audio-Technica’s industry-leading phono cartridge expertise, the AT-VM95C is a versatile, superior-performance cartridge that other turntables in this class simply can’t match. Integrated into the J-shaped tonearm, the AT-VM95C cartridge with a 0.6 mil conical stylus offers excellent channel separation and low distortion for outstanding tonal quality. To further personalize vinyl listening, the stylus can also be easily upgraded with any other styli (elliptical, micro linear, or Shibata) in our VM95 Series, offering unprecedented customization for a turntable in this category. To ensure peak sound performance, the AT-LP70XBT includes a three-piece, anti-resonance chassis that provides a solid foundation to dampen unwanted noise for improved sound quality. The included AC adapter further reduces noise as the AC/DC conversion is moved to the outside of the chassis to limit any unfavorable noise.     Simple, Intuitive Design Easy to Use Equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology for simple connection to powered speakers and headphones, the AT-LP70XBT plays 3313 and 45 RPM records automatically at the press of a button. And since the J-shaped tonearm features an integrated AT-VM95C cartridge there's no installation, balancing or other tonearm setup required.     Instant Upgrade Path Refine Your Sound The turntable’s unique AT-VM95C Integral Dual Moving Magnet™ phono cartridge is compatible with any VM95 Series replacement stylus (see list below on page), making it easy not only to replace the stylus when needed but also upgrade to a higher-quality stylus to enjoy more refined sound.       Plays 33-1/3 and 45 RPM Records Wireless or Wired Connectivity Fully Automatic Operation AT-VM95 Series Replaceable/Upgradable Stylus     Works with Wired or Wireless Speakers Complete Your Setup The AT-LP70XBT can be connected to Audio- Technica's AT-SP3X powered bookshelf speakers via Bluetooth wireless technology or the included RCA cable for an easy-to-manage sound system that fits in any room and requires no external amplifier.       Features Fully automatic belt-drive turntable operation with two speeds: 33-1/3, 45 RPM High-fidelity audio with Bluetooth wireless technology Connects wirelessly to speakers and other devices equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology or to wired audio systems and powered speakers via included dual RCA output cable Compatible with the high-quality Qualcomm® aptX™ Adaptive audio codec A fixed-body AT-VM95C Integral Dual Moving Magnet™ phono cartridge is compatible with any VM95 Series replacement stylus, offering a wide choice of options for every budget and application Stylish three-piece chassis construction dampens resonance for improved sound quality* J-shaped tonearm is engineered to minimize tracking errors Tonearm lock reduces risk of stylus damage Built-in switchable phono/line pre-amplifier Anti-resonance, die-cast aluminum platter with felt mat AC adapter handles AC/DC conversion outside of the chassis, reducing noise in the signal chain  Includes detachable RCA output cable (dual RCA male to dual RCA male with ground), 45 RPM adapter, and removable hinged dust cover Available in Black/Silver, Black/Bronze, and White/Silver        REVIEW & AWARDS Audio-Technica AT-LP70XBT turntable review: a primo player that deftly marries quality, cost and convenience - Read More "The AT-LP70XBT was never meant to be a customisable last-turntable-you’ll-ever-buy affair. Instead, it’s aiming at being the best in a crowded field of often-lacking automatic turntables, offering reliable performance and great sound as an accessible appliance, as opposed to an audiophile-appeasing starter turntable. As such, it might not be of much value to anyone that already knows their hi-fi onions, but represents a massive amount of value to someone getting into (or back into) records as a format." -  James Grimshaw     SPECIFICATIONS Motor DC motor Drive Method Belt-drive Speeds 33-1/3 RPM, 45 RPM Turntable Platter Die-cast aluminium Wow and Flutter < 0.25% (WTD) Signal-to-Noise Ratio > 55 dB Cartridge Type This product is equipped with an AT-VM95C Dual Moving Magnet Stereo Cartridge.
