Committed to a Permanent Quest for Quality

Turntable with High-Fidelity Heritage

Born of Audio-Technica’s rich analog heritage, the AT-LP5X
incorporates a J-shaped tonearm that takes its inspiration from the classic A-T
models of the 1960s and ’70s.

Upgraded Features

Latest Technology, Contemporary Style

This next-generation LP5 turntable pushes the acclaimed
performance of its predecessor to new heights, with upgraded features like the
versatile AT-VM95E cartridge and a preamp gain switch to accommodate both
moving magnet and moving coil cartridges.

Cartridge Assembly Line circa 1962

Delivering Analog Excellence for Over 55 Years

We got our start in Tokyo in 1962, designing and
manufacturing high-performance phono cartridges. That half-century’s worth of
analog expertise goes into every turntable we produce, ensuring you get the
best listening experience from your vinyl.

Building on Audio-Technica’s analogue heritage and over 50
years of Japanese audio design, the AT-LP5x features upgraded technology while
keeping the contemporary style and acclaimed performance of its predecessor,
the AT-LP5.

The LP5x retains the J-shaped tonearm, a design inspired by
the classic Audio-Technica models of the 1960s and ’70s, and features a
metallic gimbal suspension system and precision bearings to mitigate tracking
errors. The tonearm also includes an adjustable counterweight and anti-skate
control and comes fitted with a lightweight (9.3g) AT-HS6 headshell and the
black AT-VM95E Dual Moving Magnet stereo cartridge.

Constructed of anti-vibration damping materials with
heavy-mass metal chassis inserts, the AT-LP5x turntable has been designed to
limit low-frequency acoustical feedback. Its precision-machined, die-cast
aluminum platter is powered by a direct-drive, low-noise motor, ensuring
stable, on-axis rotation at 33-1/3, 45 and 78 RPM. A 5 mm thick rubber-damping
mat, which isolates from low frequency feedback while providing a highly stable
surface for all LP formats, tops the platter.

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.
