ℹ Product Information
AT-LPW50PB Turntable by Audio Technica
Welcome to the exquisite, visual feast that is the AT-LPW50PB turntable by Audio Technica. A masterful blend of refined design and cutting-edge technology, this fully manual, belt-drive turntable is purposefully conceived to offer high-fidelity audio reproduction from the beloved vinyl format. Nested within an anti-resonance plinth, constructed from 30 mm thick MDF and finished with a captivating high-gloss, piano-black finish, the AT-LPW50PB is as much a treat for the eyes as the ears. The structure, beyond its aesthetic power, acts as a barrier to dampen low-frequency acoustical feedback. At the device's heart is a sensor-monitored motor that guarantees accurate rotation speeds for both 33-1/3 and 45 RPM records. Paired with a straight, matte-finish, carbon-fiber tonearm and an AT-HS4 universal ½”-mount headshell, it holds the black AT-VM95E Dual Moving Magnet phono cartridge - testament to Audio-Technica's 50 years of supremacy in phono cartridge design. This powerhouse of a cartridge comes with a 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical stylus and is open to any VM95 Series replacement stylus - thus catering to all ranges of budgets and applications. Whilst the internal configuration of this sleek machine is indisputably awe-inspiring, its true prowess lies in its exterior flexibility. Equipped with a built-in, selectable phono preamp and a detachable dual RCA output cable, it ensures direct connectivity to components with or without dedicated phono input. Having over five and a half decades of analog experience tucked securely under their belt, Audio Technica brings an unprecedented level of listening through the elegant AT-LPW50PB. The trust isn't just in the name, but in their unparalleled legacy of crafting high-performance phono cartridges since 1962, in Tokyo. In essence, the AT-LPW50PB isn't just designed, it’s crafted to breathe new life into your vinyl collection, whilst sitting saucily as a statement piece in your living room.
