Product Research

Features

Fully Automatic Turntable: The Audio-Technica AT-LP3XBT belt-drive turntable offers fully automatic operation, so you can simply press the Start button to begin play and the Stop button to lift and return the tone arm and shut off the turntable (the stop function occurs automatically when a record has played all the way through). If you prefer manual control, a hydraulically damped lift control allows the stylus to be precisely and safely lowered and raised at any point on a record.

2-Speed Operation: The Audio-Technica AT-LP3XBT fully automatic turntable is equipped to play both 33-1/3 and 45 RPM records (adapter included).

Balanced Tonearm with Dual MM Phono Cartridge (AT-VM95C):The turntable's balanced straight tonearm comes with an uninstalled 1/2" mount universal headshell (AT-HS3) and Dual Moving Magnet phono cartridge (AT-VM95C) with conical stylus, giving you excellent performance. The cartridge's special coil design delivers a powerful output level of 4.0mV. It also offers excellent channel separation and low distortion for outstanding tonal quality.

Note: The headshell/cartridge/stylus assembly must be installed on the tonearm.

Anti-Vibration Construction: The AT-LP3XBT turntable's damped base construction provides reduced low-frequency feedback coloration, while the die-cast aluminum platter with a felt mat controls resonance to reduce unwanted vibration. The turntable's base sits on for pre-installed feet that are removable.

Built-In Selectable Phono Preamp with RCA Outputs: The AT-LP3XBT is equipped with a built-in selectable phono preamp and a detachable dual RCA output cable to enable direct connection to your receiver, integrated amplifier, or powered speakers with or without a dedicated phono input.

Built-in Bluetooth with aptX: Thanks to built-in Bluetooth (ver 5.2), you can stream your vinyl record audio wirelessly (up to 33') to your Bluetooth enabled speakers, headphones, and other devices. Its even compatible with the high-quality Qualcomm aptX audio codec to ensure exceptional sound reproduction from headphones, speakers and other playback devices that also support aptX. Multiple speakers, headphones or other devices that utilize Bluetooth wireless technology can be stored in the AT-LP3XBT memory. However, only one playback device can be utilized at a time. Once stored, a simple push of a button is all that is required to connect the turntable to your chosen wireless playback device.

Note: Bluetooth and the stereo RCA outputs cannot be used to output audio at the same time.

Hinged Dust Cover: The Audio-Technica AT-LP3XBT turntable comes with a hinged dust cover to protect the turntable and your vinyl records from dust build-up. The dust cover is is also removable.

  • Dimensions with Dust Cover Closed: 17.125" (w) x 4.6875" (h) x 15.1875" (d)
  • Dimensions with Dust Cover Open: 17.125" (w) x 15.0625" (h) x 15.8125" (d)

AC Power Adapter: The AT-LPX3BT comes with an external AC power adapter that will plug into the back of the turntable and into an AC power outlet or surge protector (sold separately - see Accessories Tab).

Q
Need to use longer RCA cable how would I connect ground? if using a different cable
larry  Jun 12, 2024
1 answer
A
Hey Larry, you could also source a longer ground wire if there is not an appropriate grounding point between the turntable and the receiver that we are connecting it to. We do not carry a dedicated phono ground cable at this time ourselves but can be sourced easily.

Q
Hello! I'm trying to find out the measurements for the feet? Trying to see it the feet will fit on my current stand. For instance my stand is 13 1/2 inches deep. Thanks
dana  Apr 18, 2024
1 answer
A
We are happy to help, Dana. Total depth for the Audio-Technica AT-LP3XBT is listed at 15-3/16", with a stand of 13 1/2" there is some concern that at that depth it will not provide a stable platform. Exact measurements for the footprint of the feet are not provided by Audio-Technica. We include space for the RCA connections in our depth measurement, actual depth of the chassis is listed by Audio-Technica at 14.72". Hogan has reached out to Audio-Technica directly to see if they can provide those measurements and will email directly if we get confirmation!

Q
Are the speaker include?
paula  Jul 14, 2023
1 answer
A
Greetings Paula, and thank you for your question. The turntable does not come with any speakers. If all you needed was the turntable and speakers, the speakers would need to have built in amplifiers, or some call powered speakers. We have a lot to offer in that line as well. https://www.crutchfield.com/g_463050/Powered-Stereo-Speakers.html Youn can always call an advisor at 800-324-9695 for a solid speaker recommendation..

Q
Does this have auto return?
al  Oct 09, 2022
1 answer
A
Yes. The tonearm will return to its resting position when the record has ended or when the STOP button is pressed.
zachary  Oct 09, 2022 (Staff)
Q
Will this turntable work with a Bose 900 soundbar, which does not not have an aux port? The soundbar only has Bluetooth.
arthur  Jan 01, 2025
1 answer
A
Greetings Arthur. Thank you for your question. The Bose 900 just has HDMI, and the optical in, but it has Bluetooth. This model Audio Technica would have to use its built in Bluetooth transmitter to get the audio over to the Bose 900. As long as you are in the range of Bluetooth, it will work.

Q
Does the head shell screw off so you can screw on another one with an Audio technica stylus already installed on the head shell I want to screw on?
william  Nov 17, 2024
1 answer
A
The headshell can be removed making it easy to have other headshells with different cartridges attached. You can even get more of the same headshell that comes with the turntable. Here is a link to it: www.crutchfield.com/p_057HS3BK/item.html

Q
Can this turntable be connected to the Sharp 350W 5-disc mini component system?
annabelle  Aug 09, 2024
1 answer
A
Greetings AnnaBelle. Thank you for your question. We do not carry the Sharp system, but from the information I got on it from another site is, it has a line in. That is what the Turntable would need to have to connect it. If it is an RCA line in, you would need nothing else. If the line in on the Sharp is a single 3.5mm, you would need a converter from the RCA out on the Turntable to a 3.5mm jack.

Q
Can I add an elliptical needle to this cartridge?
jack  Aug 01, 2024
1 answer
A
Hey Jack, so if you can find just the stylus that matches this cartridge, you can certainly just pull the stylus off and pop the matching elliptical stylus back on, but they need to be from the same Audio Technica cartridge series. This is not something we directly sell, so you would have to look around for that stylus. Alternatively, you can just buy a new cartridge with an elliptical needle already mounted on it to avoid mismatching the stylus and cart. Below is the elliptical equivalent to the included conical cartridge: https://www.crutchfield.com/I-rET1c402/p_057VM95E/Audio-Technica-AT-VM95E.html

Q
Can this turntable be plugged in directly to a pair of speakers, or does it need to be connected to an amplifier or receiver?
t  Jul 23, 2024
1 answer
A
Greetings TD. Thank you for your question. That is going to depend on the speakers. Passive speakers will need a receiver or amplifier to power the speakers. Speakers with a built in amp, just plug into the turntable and an electrical outlet for power. Or another option is, this has a Bluetooth transmitter as well, so it can send a wireless audio signal to Bluetooth headphones, or Bluetooth speakers.
thomas  Jul 23, 2024 (Staff)
Q
Can I place the turntable on top of the Andover spinbase speaker?
michael f.  Jul 31, 2023
1 answer
A
Thank you for your question, Michele. Yes, the Andover Audio SpinBase is designed for a turntable to be placed on top without any feedback.
andrea  Aug 01, 2023 (Staff)
Q
Does this work with Sonos?
ron  Nov 18, 2022
1 answer
A
Greetings Ron, and thank you for your question. This Audio Technica would need to be wired into a Sonos device. One of the Sonos Amps, a Port, or Sonos Five. Then it can be played on the device its plugged into, or other Sonos devices as well.
