Audio-Technica AT-LPW30TK | Phono
A high-end record player with a natural solid wood cabinet.
About the turntable
The Audio-Technica AT-LPW30TK is a high-end turntable for those who appreciate both great sound and natural materials. Its cabinet is made of genuine solid wood, so each turntable has its own unique wood grain pattern. This model is particularly popular in Scandinavia and Japan—regions where light, natural wood tones are highly valued in interior design.
Connect to whatever you want
The built-in phono preamp lets you connect your turntable directly to powered speakers—without a separate amplifier or preamp unit. And if you already have a home audio system with an amplifier, you can easily connect it to that as well.
Precision worthy of the Audio-Technica name
This turntable features high-quality components: an exceptionally quiet Japanese motor, an aluminum alloy tonearm, and a replaceable universal headshell. The diamond moving-magnet stylus, anti-skate control, and adjustable tracking force allow for precise sound tuning so that the stylus gently follows the grooves of the record.
Designed not only to be heard, but also to be seen
The natural solid wood cabinet makes the AT-LPW30TK not just an audio device, but also a charming accent piece for your home. A high-quality plastic dust cover protects the record from dust, and the entire design is built to last and age gracefully.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a separate phono preamp? No. The AT-LPW30TK has a built-in phono preamp, so it can be connected directly to powered speakers or an amplifier. If you want to use an external preamp, you can turn off the built-in one.
How does this model differ from the AT-LPW50? The main difference lies in the cabinet and tonearm. The LPW30TK features a natural solid wood cabinet and an aluminum tonearm, while the LPW50 has a lacquer finish and a carbon fiber tonearm. The core audio features (belt drive, phono preamp, anti-skate, and adjustable tracking force) are similar on both models, so your choice should depend on what matters more to you—the aesthetics of solid wood or the tonearm’s components.
Can the needle be replaced? Yes. The turntable has a replaceable universal headshell and a VM-type diamond stylus, which is easy to refurbish or replace with a higher-end VM-series stylus.
Is it suitable for a beginner? Yes, if you want to start off with better sound quality and a stylish design right away. The turntable doesn't require any complicated setup, but it offers more sound options than the base model.
