Audio-Technica - AT-LPW50BT Manual Belt-Drive Turntable (Wireless & Analog)

A rosewood-veneered belt-drive beauty that plays it both ways: classic wired analog or Bluetooth wireless to your favorite speakers and headphones.

The AT-LPW50BT is a fully manual, two-speed (33-1/3 and 45 RPM) belt-drive turntable built on a 30 mm-thick MDF plinth with rosewood-finished veneer that helps damp low-frequency acoustic feedback. Its DC servo motor uses sensor-monitored Active Speed Stabilization to maintain accurate platter rotation, spinning a professional anti-resonance die-cast aluminum platter with rubber mat.

A straight carbon-fiber tonearm with hydraulically damped lift control, lockable rest, adjustable tracking force and dynamic anti-skate carries the matte-silver AT-HS4 universal headshell fitted with an AT-VM95E Dual Moving Magnet cartridge (0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical stylus, compatible with all VM95 Series replacement styli). Listen wired through the built-in switchable phono/line preamp and included RCA cable, or pair over Bluetooth 5.2 for wireless playback to speakers and headphones up to about 33 feet away.
