STOW, OH, May 18, 2022 — Audio-Technica announced today the release of its AT-LPW30 fully manual belt-drive turntable, featuring a sleek and sophisticated black wood veneer finish. Designed to give optimal high-fidelity audio reproduction from vinyl, the two-speed (33-1/3 and 45 RPM) turntable features an anti-resonance MDF (medium density fiberboard) plinth to limit low-frequency acoustical feedback.

As a leader in phono cartridge design for more than 60 years, Audio-Technica’s expertise shows in the AT-LPW30’s versatile, high-performance AT-VM95C cartridge, which comes with a 0.6 mil conical stylus. Also compatible with any VM95 Series replacement stylus, the AT-LPW30 offers a wide choice of options for every budget and application. The turntable includes a straight aluminum tonearm with adjustable tracking force and an AT-HS4 universal ½"-mount headshell with the cartridge pre-mounted.

Equipped with a built-in selectable phono preamp and a detachable dual RCA output cable, the AT-LPW30 enables direct connection to components with or without a dedicated phono input. Included accessories are dual RCA (male) to dual RCA (male) stereo cable, 45 RPM adapter, rubber mat, and a removable hinged dust cover.

The AT-LPW30 turntable is available with an MSRP of $329.00.
