Features

Manual Belt-Drive Operation (2-Speed): The Audio-Technica AT-LPW50BT is a fully manual, belt-drive turntable designed to give you optimal high-fidelity audio reproduction from vinyl record collection. Its motor features a sensor-monitored system to main accurate platter rotation at speeds of 33-1/3 and 45RPM (adapter is included).

Anti-Resonance Construction: The AT-LPW50BT features an aesthetically pleasing anti-resonance MDF (medium density fiberboard) plinth with simulated rosewood veneer to limit low-frequency acoustical feedback. It also includes a professional anti-resonance, die-cast aluminum platter with rubber mat. In addition, there are anti-resonance rubber feet that deter vibration (the feet are non-removable and non-adjustable).

Straight Carbon-Fiber Tonearm: The Audio-Technica AT-LPW50BT turntable includes a straight carbon-fiber tonearm with adjustable tracking force and dynamic anti-skate control. The straight carbon-fiber tone-arm features a hydraulically damped manual lift and lockable rest.

AT-VM95E Dual Moving Magnet (MM) Cartridge: The AT-LPW50BT comes with a AT-HS4 universal 1/2"-mount headshell with an AT-VM95E Dual Moving Magnet phono cartridge. Audio-Technica has been a leader in phono cartridge design for more than 50 years, and that expertise shows in the versatile, high-performance AT-VM95E cartridge, which comes with a 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical stylus, but is also compatible with any Audio-Technica VM95 Series replacement stylus (sold separately), offering a wide choice of options for a variety of applications.

Note: The headshell/cartridge/stylus assembly does not come pre-installed on the tone-arm and must be user installed.

Built-In Selectable Phono Preamp with RCA Outputs: The AT-LPW50BT 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: 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. Multiple speakers, headphones or other devices that utilize Bluetooth wireless technology can be stored in the AT-LPW50BT 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-LPW50BT 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: 16.5625" (w) x 4.9375" (h) x 14.4375" (d)
  • Dimensions with Dust Cover Open: 16.5625" (w) x 15.4375" (h) x 15.6875" (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
Can I stream to Apple HomePod using this Bluetooth record player?
joe  May 09, 2023
1 answer
A
You cannot, Joe. The Apple HomePod does not list Bluetooth as a feature and only has Airplay (Wi-fi) as a way to link sources. You can link the Audio-Technical to any speaker that has Bluetooth like the House of Marley No Bounds XL in the link below! https://www.crutchfield.com/p_346NBXLBT/House-of-Marley-No-Bounds-XL.html
