Audio-Technica AT-LPW50PB Fully Manual Belt-Drive Turntable

Audio-Technica AT-LPW50PB Fully Manual Belt-Drive Turntable

The Audio-Technica AT-LPW50PB Fully Manual Belt-Drive Turntable is a high-fidelity vinyl playback system with 33-1/3 and 45 RPM speeds, belt-drive operation, a sensor-monitored motor, built-in switchable phono preamp, and included AT-VM95E Dual Moving Magnet cartridge.

Designed for vinyl collectors, hi-fi listeners, and home audio systems, this piano-black Audio-Technica turntable supports precise manual playback with flexible connection options. It is a strong choice for anyone looking to buy a manual belt-drive turntable, upgrade a record player setup, or add a cartridge-ready turntable to a stereo system.

The AT-LPW50PB uses a 30 mm anti-resonance MDF plinth, die-cast aluminum platter, and straight carbon-fiber tonearm to reduce unwanted vibration. Its selectable phono preamp supports phono or line-level output, while the included AT-VM95E cartridge accepts VM95 Series replacement styli for future playback customization.
