Audio-Technica AT-LP8X Semi-Automatic Direct-Drive Turntable Overview
The Audio-Technica AT-LP8X is a high-quality semi-automatic direct-drive turntable, ideal for vinyl lovers who want a balance of convenience and precision. Its J-shaped tonearm features an adjustable vertical tracking angle (VTA), ensuring your records sound detailed and accurate no matter what cartridge is attached. As standard, the turntable includes the AT-VM95E Cartridge, which offers precise tracking across 33 1/3, 45, and 78 RPM speeds—enjoy your favourite vinyl, old or new, in exceptional sound quality. Plus, you can easily swap the stylus with other options from the VM95 series to customise your listening experience.
The direct-drive motor uses a speed-sensor system for consistent and accurate rotation. Thanks to a semi-automatic operation, the AT-LP8X lifts the tonearm and stops the motor when the record finishes, letting you relax and enjoy your music without needle wear. The turntable's die-cast aluminium platter minimises any unwanted resonance while the robust MDF plinth further dampens vibrations and offers a sophisticated visual appeal to your audio setup.
