Description
The next-generation Audio-Technica AT-LP5X Fully Manual Direct-Drive USB/Analog Turntable pushes the performance of its predecessor, the renowned AT-LP5, to new heights. Offering upgraded features like 3-speed (33-1/3, 45, 78 rpm ) motor, a preamp gain switch to accommodate both moving-magnet (MM) and moving-coil (MC) cartridges, an AT-VM95E dual moving-magnet stereo cartridge, and a sleek, contemporary style with matte finish, this versatile deck looks every bit as good as it sounds.
Fully manual operation with three speeds
Fully manual operation often requires a degree of expertise or training to use the device effectively. Users must have a good understanding of the device's functions and capabilities. Maintenance and troubleshooting may also be the responsibility of the operator.
Direct-drive
One of the primary advantages of direct drive systems is their high efficiency. Unlike some other transmission methods that may involve gears, belts, or pulleys, direct drive systems minimize energy loss that can occur due to friction or slippage in these components. This results in a more energy-efficient operation.
low-noise motor
A low noise motor prioritizes the reduction of sound emissions generated during its operation. Noise in motors can originate from various sources, including mechanical vibrations, electromagnetic interference, and aerodynamic factors. Engineers and designers employ various techniques to mitigate these sources of noise.
Built-in switchable MM/MC
The AT-LP5x features a Built-in switchable MM/MC phono/line preamp that enables it to connect directly to a computer, home stereo, powered speakers and other components that have no dedicated turntable input. The selection of MM/MC cartridges allow for an easy upgrade to a moving coil with additional equipment. The turntable is also equipped with a USB output for direct connection to a computer.
