A high-end turntable with a phono preamp and a premium stylus.
About the turntable
The Audio-Technica AT-LPW50PB is a high-end turntable for those who have already fallen in love with vinyl and want higher-quality, more detailed sound. It’s a hand-cranked belt-drive turntable in which every component has been selected for sound quality: from the exceptionally quiet Japanese motor to the carbon-fiber tonearm and the premium-class Audio-Technica AT-VMN95E diamond stylus.
Connect to whatever you want
The built-in phono preamp allows you to connect your turntable directly to powered speakers—without a separate amplifier or phono preamp. And if you already have a home audio system with an amplifier, you can easily connect it to that as well.
Attention to detail
The adjustable stylus pressure and anti-skate control allow you to fine-tune the stylus so that it follows the record’s grooves smoothly and evenly. This level of control is what sets high-end turntables apart: the sound becomes cleaner, more stable, and more vivid.
Elegance that goes hand in hand with sound
The glossy Piano Black finish gives the turntable a sophisticated, luxurious look—it looks just as good as it sounds. A high-quality plastic dust cover protects the record from dust, and the entire design is built to last.
About Audio-Technica
Audio-Technica – a Japanese brand founded in Tokyo in 1962, initially renowned for its exceptionally high-quality turntable cartridges. Over more than six decades, the company has become one of the most trusted names in the world of vinyl—its cartridges and turntables are used in home systems, professional studios, and radio stations alike. The AT-LPW50PB continues this tradition: Japanese engineering, attention to sonic detail, and quality that shines through in every component.
