Audio Technica AT-LP8X Semi-Automatic Direct Drive Turntable Black

ITEM DOES NOT HAVE A COLOR RETAIL DISPLAY BOX. Product has a brown display box with black image of the turntable and model number.

Audio-Technica expands its line of direct-drive turntables with the semi-automatic AT-LP8X, featuring a newly designed tonearm lift that automatically raises the tonearm at the end of a record side and stops the motor.

The turntable’s J-shaped aluminum tonearm, inspired by classic A-T models of the 1960s and ’70s, comes equipped with a newly designed AT-LT10 headshell and AT-VM95E BK (black) cartridge with 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical stylus, providing excellent channel separation and low distortion for outstanding tonal quality. For easy customization, the stylus can be replaced or interchanged with any of the five additional styli in the VM95 line, and the tonearm’s VTA (vertical tracking angle) adjustment and subcounterwei

The AT-LP8X plays 33-1/3, 45, and 78 RPM records. Its 25 mm rubber-damped, anti-resonance, die-cast aluminum platter comes with a 2.5 mm rubber mat and is driven by a sensor-monitored motor that ensures a continuously accurate platter rotation speed. The motor and its efficient internal switching power supply are housed within a box plinth constructed of 16 mm MDF (medium density fiberboard) and equipped with height-adjustable feet for excellent protection against unwanted noise and vibration.

The turntable comes with a detachable RCA output cable (dual RCA male to dual RCA male with ground), 45 RPM adapter, and removable hinged dust cover.

Features:

CONVENIENT LISTENING: The AT-LP8X's tonearm lifts automatically at the end of a record and its motor automatically stops - rare features on a direct-drive turntable. This gives you the freedom to listen casually and not worry about when a record will end.

REFINE YOUR SOUND: The turntable's AT-VM95E cartridge is compatible with any Audio-Technica VM95 Series replacement stylus, making it easy to experiment with different styli profiles, upgrade to a higher-quality stylus to enjoy more refined sound or switch to an AT-VMN95SP stylus to play 78 RPM records.

QUIET PERFORMANCE: The turntable's robust MDF box plinth, adjustable feet, thick rubber-damped, anti-resonance, die-cast aluminum platter, and 2.5 mm rubber mat work together to temper unwanted noise and vibration so you can enjoy all the details of your music.
