Audio Technica AT-LPW50PB

This product is no longer available for sale!

Overview

The AT-LPW50PB is a fully manual belt-drive turntable designed to deliver optimal high-fidelity sound reproduction from vinyl records. It features a 30 mm thick anti-resonance MDF (medium density fiberboard) plinth with a high-gloss piano black finish to dampen low-frequency acoustic feedback, and a sensor-controlled motor that ensures precise platter rotation speeds of 33-1/3 or 45 RPM. It is equipped with a straight carbon fiber tonearm with adjustable tracking force and an AT-HS4 universal ½” mount headshell with AT-VM95E Dual Moving Magnet black phono cartridge. Audio-Technica has been a leader in phono cartridge design for over 50 years and has leveraged this expertise to create the high-performance AT-VM95E cartridge, which features a 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical stylus but is also compatible with replacement styli from the VM95 series, offering a wide range of options for every budget and application. The AT-LPW50PB includes a switchable built-in phono preamp and a removable dual RCA output cable for direct connection to components with or without a dedicated phono input.

Patrick

Very beautiful turntable with superb finishes for this Audio Technica AT-LPW50PB. Perhaps I would have preferred the tonearm mount in metal, but overall it is truly excellent, as is its quality-price ratio.

Très belle platine avec de superbes finitions pour cette Audio Technica AT-LPW50PB, peut être la fixation du bras que j'aurai préféré en métal, mais le tout est vraiment excellent ainsi que son rapport qualité prix.

Denis

Very satisfied with this entry-level turntable.
It has a good quality MM phono preamp and even comes with the excellent VM95E cartridge, which can be further upgraded with a Shibata or Micro-line stylus later on.
The drive motor remains quiet when using the AT618A headshell and generates no noise or rumble.
The carbon tonearm is well-made and the quick-release bayonet mount allows for fast swapping between cartridges using the optional AT-HS4 headshell.
Simple and effective, it's a reliable choice.

Très satisfait de cette platine d'entrée de gamme.
Elle dispose d'un préampli pour cellule MM de bon niveau et est livrée de surcroit avec la très bonne cellule VM95E qui peut être optimisée par la suite avec un diamant de type Shibata ou Micro-line.
Le moteur d'entraînement reste silencieux avec l'utilisation du palet presseur AT618A et ne génère aucun parasite ou ronflement.
Le bras en carbone est de bonne facture et la baïonnette permet l'échange rapide d'une cellule vers une autre à l'aide du porte-cellule optionnel AT-HS4.
Simple et efficace, c'est une valeur sûre.

José

Excellent, I highly recommend it
