Overview

AT-LPW30TK

The AT-LPW30TK is a fully manual, belt-drive turntable designed to give you optimal high-fidelity audio reproduction from vinyl. The two-speed (33-1/3 and 45 RPM) turntable features an aesthetically pleasing anti-resonance MDF (medium density fiberboard) plinth with simulated teak veneer to limit low-frequency acoustical feedback.

The turntable includes a straight aluminum tonearm with adjustable tracking force and an AT-HS4 universal ½"-mount headshell with an AT-VM95C Dual Moving Magnet phono cartridge. Audio-Technica has been a leader in phono cartridge design for more than 50 years, and that expertise shows in the versatile, high-performance AT-VM95C cartridge, which comes with a 0.6 mil conical stylus, but is also compatible with any VM95 Series replacement stylus, offering a wide choice of options for every budget and application.

The AT-LPW30TK is equipped with a built-in selectable phono preamp and a detachable dual RCA output cable to enable direct connection to components with or without a dedicated phono input.

Optimal High-Fidelity Audio Reproduction

Sleek and Sophisticated Wooden Turntable

Featuring a plinth made from simulated teak veneer, the mid-century design of the LPW30TK makes it a perfect aesthetic addition to your home. The realistic wooden finish contrasts against the aluminium of the straight tonearm and professional anti-resonance, die-cast platter, for a striking and stylish design.

With a built-in, selectable phono preamplifier, you can plug in and play without the need for extra equipment. Simply connect your LPW30TK turntable to your active home speakers using the detachable RCA audio cable provided (the red jack is for the right (R) channel and the white for the left (L) channel) and enjoy your vinyl in crystal clear high-fidelity audio.
