help Audio-Technica AT-LP5X FAQ
Can the Audio-Technica AT-LP5X connect directly to powered speakers?
Yes, if the speakers accept an analog line-level input. The AT-LP5X has a switchable built-in phono preamp, so a separate phono stage is optional.
Can the AT-LP5X play 78 rpm records?
Yes. It supports 33 1/3, 45, and 78 rpm, although 78 rpm records normally require a suitable stylus rather than the supplied AT-VM95E elliptical stylus.
What does the AT-LP5X USB connection do?
Its USB output sends the turntable's audio to a computer for digitizing records. Recording software is still needed to capture, split, and label the resulting files.
Is the AT-LP5X automatic or manual?
It is a fully manual direct-drive turntable, so the listener places and lifts the tonearm. It does not automatically return the arm when a record finishes.
