Easy Fully Automatic Vinyl Playback with Flexible Phono and Line-Level Connectivity
The Audio-Technica AT-LP60X Fully Automatic Turntable makes vinyl playback simple with push-button automatic operation and a compact belt-drive design. Select the record size and playback speed, press Start, and the tonearm automatically moves into position, lowers onto the record and begins playback. When the record reaches the end, the tonearm automatically lifts, returns to its rest and stops the platter.
The AT-LP60X includes Audio-Technica's AT3600L VM cartridge mounted to the integrated headshell, along with an aluminum platter and felt mat. A built-in switchable phono preamplifier provides both phono-level and line-level output, allowing the turntable to connect to traditional phono inputs as well as receivers, integrated amplifiers and powered speakers with standard line-level inputs.

Technology & Design
