Audio-Technica AT-LP8X Turntable

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 comes equipped with a AT-VM95E BK cartridge with elliptical stylus, providing excellent channel separation and low distortion for outstanding tonal quality. For easy customization, the tonearm’s VTA adjustment and sub-counterweight enable the use of a broad range of cartridges.
