Audiophile manual belt-drive turntable • Bluetooth® 5.2 wireless streaming • 30 mm thick piano-black anti-resonance MDF plinth • Straight carbon-fiber tonearm with hydraulic lift • AT-VM95E cartridge pre-mounted on AT-HS4 headshell • Sensor-monitored DC servo motor • Built-in switchable phono/line preamplifier
The Audio-Technica AT-LPW50BT Manual Belt-Drive Turntable (Wireless & Analog) delivers reference-caliber hi-fi performance with contemporary wireless flexibility. Constructed on an anti-resonance 30 mm thick MDF wood plinth finished in high-gloss piano black, it dampens acoustic feedback and room vibrations. An optically monitored speed-sensor motor continuously stabilizes the die-cast aluminum platter across 33-1/3 and 45 RPM speeds. Equipped with a matte-finish straight carbon-fiber tonearm, the pre-installed AT-VM95E Dual Moving Magnet cartridge, and integrated Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity alongside traditional RCA analog outputs, it connects seamlessly with wireless audio gear or dedicated analog stereos.
Key Features & Innovations
Dual analog and wireless Bluetooth® connectivity — streams vinyl audio wirelessly via Bluetooth 5.2 to compatible speakers, headphones, and soundbars, or connects directly via dual RCA phono/line analog outputs.
Fully manual belt-drive operation — isolated belt-drive mechanics isolate motor vibration from the platter while eliminating mechanical linkages from the tonearm path for pure signal transfer.
Speed-sensor monitored DC motor — an optical speed sensor continuously monitors rotation, delivering precise speed accuracy and ultra-low wow and flutter at 33-1/3 and 45 RPM.
Straight carbon-fiber tonearm — lightweight, rigid carbon-fiber arm tube controls internal resonances, paired with hydraulically damped lift control, adjustable tracking force, and anti-skate.
Pre-mounted AT-VM95E on AT-HS4 headshell — includes an AT-VM95E Dual Moving Magnet cartridge with a 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical diamond pre-mounted on an AT-HS4 universal headshell for easy setup and future stylus upgrades.
30 mm dense piano-black MDF plinth — substantial, acoustically deadened medium-density fiberboard chassis suppresses low-frequency room resonances and acoustic feedback.
Built-in switchable phono/line preamplifier — selectable PHONO and LINE outputs enable direct hookup to external phono stages, stereo receivers, or powered monitor speakers.
How does Bluetooth pairing work on the AT-LPW50BT?
The Audio-Technica AT-LPW50BT features a dedicated Bluetooth pairing button and status LED indicator on the top plinth. Simply press and hold the button to put the turntable into pairing mode alongside your Bluetooth speakers or wireless headphones for automatic connection.
Can I connect this turntable directly to wired powered speakers?
Yes. The rear-panel switch lets you select "LINE" output, utilizing the built-in phono preamplifier to send a line-level signal directly to powered bookshelf speakers or an auxiliary input on an amplifier via the included RCA cable.
Can I upgrade the stylus on this turntable?
Yes. The factory-installed AT-VM95E cartridge is part of Audio-Technica's modular VM95 family. You can upgrade to a nude elliptical (AT-VMN95EN), MicroLine (AT-VMN95ML), or Shibata (AT-VMN95SH) stylus by sliding off the existing stylus and clicking on the upgrade—no cartridge alignment required.
Does the tonearm automatically return at the end of a record?
No. The AT-LPW50BT is a fully manual turntable. Cueing, positioning, and lifting the tonearm at the end of playback are performed manually using the hydraulically damped cueing lever.
