About The Audio Technica AT-LP70XBT Bluetooth Turntable
The AT-LP70XBT Automatic Wireless Turntable is the perfect turntable for those beginning their audiophile journey. Combining the experience of warm, analogue audio with the convenience of Bluetooth® technology, you can listen to your vinyl over Bluetooth-enabled speakers, headphones, or other devices, including those that support the high-quality Qualcomm® aptX™ Adaptive audio codec. This user-friendly turntable plays both 33⅓ and 45 RPM records and, in addition to its Bluetooth wireless technology, has a built-in switchable phono preamp that allows the turntable to connect to a home stereo, powered speakers, or another component, with or without a dedicated phono input.
At the heart of the AT-LP70XBT is a top-notch phono cartridge for unmatched, high-fidelity audio. Built with Audio-Technica's industry-leading phono cartridge expertise, the AT-VM95C is a versatile, superior-performance cartridge that other turntables in this class simply can't beat. Integrated into the J-shaped tonearm, the AT-VM95C cartridge with a 0.6 mil conical stylus offers excellent channel separation and low distortion for outstanding tonal quality. To further personalize vinyl listening, the stylus can also be easily upgraded with any other styli (elliptical, micro linear, or Shibata) in Audio Technica's VM95 Series, offering unprecedented customization for a turntable in this category.
To ensure peak sound performance, the AT-LP70XBT includes a three-piece, anti-resonance chassis that provides a solid foundation to dampen unwanted noise for improved sound quality. The included AC adapter further reduces noise as the AC/DC conversion is moved to the outside of the chassis to limit any unfavourable interference.
Simple, Intuitive Design: Equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology for simple connection to powered speakers and headphones, the AT-LP70XBT plays 33⅓ and 45 RPM records automatically at the press of a button. And since the J-shaped tonearm features an integrated AT-VM95C cartridge there's no installation, balancing or other tonearm setup required.
Refine Your Sound: The turntable's unique AT-VM95C Integral Dual Moving Magnet™ phono cartridge is compatible with any VM95 Series replacement stylus, making it easy to not only replace the stylus when needed, but also upgrade to a higher-quality stylus to enjoy more refined sound.
Complete Your Sound: The AT-LP70XBT can be connected to powered bookshelf speakers via Bluetooth wireless technology or the included RCA cable for an easy-to-manage sound system that fits in any room and requires no external amplifier.
