Fully Automatic Vinyl Playback with an Upgradeable VM95 Stylus
The Audio-Technica AT-LP70X Fully Automatic Belt-Drive Turntable makes enjoying records straightforward without sacrificing the flexibility to improve your vinyl playback system over time. Select the record size and speed, press START, and the turntable automatically spins the platter, positions the tonearm and begins playback. When the record ends, the tonearm automatically lifts and returns to its rest.
At the heart of the AT-LP70X is Audio-Technica's integrated AT-VM95C Dual Moving Magnet cartridge with a replaceable 0.6 mil bonded conical stylus. While the cartridge body itself is permanently integrated into the tonearm, its VM95-series stylus interface provides a convenient upgrade path. A switchable built-in phono preamplifier further simplifies system matching, allowing connection to either a traditional PHONO input or standard LINE/AUX input.

Technology & Design
AT-VM95 Dual Moving Magnet Platform — Rather than using a basic proprietary cartridge system, the AT-LP70X incorporates Audio-Technica's AT-VM95C cartridge technology. The cartridge body is fixed in place, but its stylus can be removed and replaced.
Die-Cast Aluminum Platter — The belt-drive mechanism turns a die-cast aluminum platter, providing a stable rotating platform for 33⅓ and 45 RPM records.
Automatic or Manual Cueing — In addition to one-touch automatic operation, the tonearm can be raised with the lift lever and manually positioned over a desired groove when you want greater control over where playback begins.
Integrated RIAA Phono Stage — The internal 36 dB phono preamplifier converts the cartridge's low-level signal to line level, allowing the AT-LP70X to work with a broad range of powered speakers, amplifiers and receivers.
