J-Shaped TonearmThe LP5X retains the J-shaped tonearm a design inspired by the classic Audio-Technica models of the 1960s and 70s and features a metallic gimbal suspension system and precision bearings to mitigate tracking errors. The tonearm also includes an adjustable counterweight and anti-skate control and comes fitted with a lightweight (9.3g) AT-HS6 headshell and the black AT-VM95E Dual Moving Magnet stereo cartridge.

Vibration Damping ConstructionConstructed of anti-vibration damping materials with heavy-mass metal chassis inserts the AT-LP5X turntable has been designed to limit low-frequency acoustical feedback. Its precision-machined die-cast aluminum platter is powered by a direct-drive low-noise motor ensuring stable on-axis rotation at 33-1/3 45 and 78 RPM. A 5 mm thick rubber damping mat which isolates from low-frequency feedback while providing a highly stable surface for all LP formats tops the platter.

Switchable MM/MC PreampThe AT-LP5x features a built-in switchable MM/MC phono/line preamp that enables it to connect directly to a computer home stereo powered speakers and other components that have no dedicated turntable input. The selection of MM/MC cartridges allows for an easy upgrade to a moving coil with additional equipment. The turntable is also equipped with a USB output for a direct connection to a computer.
