Audio Technica has unveiled four new turntables that build on the brand’s already popular entry-level LP60 turntable series.
The new record players are aimed at modern vinyl enthusiasts, bringing vinyl wireless streaming, a digitised record collection and headphone listening, as well as the high-quality audio and sleek, minimal design Audio Technica is known for.
All four turntables allow you unbox and get on to playing records in seconds and have two speeds: 33 1/3 for long play albums and 45 RPM for singles and 12-inch records.
They also all boast a preamplifier with switchable phono/line output, which allows you to easily connect to active-powered speakers or a phono-enabled amp.
There’s also an AC adapter, which handles AC/DC conversion and reduces noise in the signal chain for a crisper sound.
Here’s a quick run down on each:
