The Audio Technica AT-LPW50BT-RW Manual Belt-drive Turntable may look like a device straight out of vinyl’s golden age, but it’s loaded with a host of modern appointments for the next generation of record enthusiasts! This turntable begins with a belt-drive design that serves as the standard for audiophiles everywhere, while the speed-sensor motor, dynamic anti-skate control, and AT-VM95E cartridge ensure that your sound is exceptionally consistent and true to the recording. Next, an external AC adapter, anti-resonance die-cast aluminum platter, and anti-resonance 30mm MDF plinth (with a charming rosewood veneer) all but eliminate unwanted noise during playback. Well, what’s so modern about the AT-LPW50BT-RW? Full Bluetooth wireless functionality allows you to stream your turntable’s sound to your Bluetooth-enabled speakers, headphones, and other devices, cutting out the cords entirely ? unless you’re into cords, of course, in which case you can simply use the industry-standard RCA outputs!





Built for high-fidelity sound





The AT-LPW50BT is built for high-fidelity sound, and it manages to do it at a budget-friendly price. Its belt-drive, DC servo-controlled motor with speed stabilization combines with a 30mm MDF plinth and a high-quality AT-HS4 headshell to deliver impressive tracking and minimal low-end rumble. Its durable die-cast aluminum platter bucks resonance to lessen ringing and unwanted vibrations, while its AC adapter handles AC/DC conversion outside of its chassis to further reduce noise. What’s more, an integral dual moving magnet phono cartridge with a 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical stylus delivers an incredibly full-range audio response, boasting crisp trebles, rich lows, and punchy mids.





Stream straight to your wireless headphones and speakers





There’s no doubt about it, vinyl has made a massive comeback ? an impressive feat for such a timeworn medium. But that doesn’t mean your playback system needs to hail from the Stone Age. That’s why the Audio-Technica AT-LPW50BT-RW includes Bluetooth connectivity. With it, you can stream vinyl records straight to your favorite set of wireless headphones or speakers. Plus, if you’re a dedicated cord user, industry-standard RCA outputs are available to hook up your speakers the old-fashioned way.
