Product Information
”The AT-LP5X is a well-executed design that sounds great for the money. It’s also well built, easy to set up and nice to use. These things make it worthy of a spot on anyone’s shortlist.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ – 5 Star review.
The perfect blend of features and sound quality
The latest turntable in an award-winning line gives you the perfect balance of features and sound quality. It’s ideal as a way in to vinyl or for those already with a cherished collection. For the best sound quality, the AT-LP5X is fully manual and comes fitted with top quality Audio Technica arm and cartridge. For ease of use, there’s a USB output, built-in phonostage and 3-speed switching.
Designed for clarity
With its direct drive motor, the AT-LP5X gives superb pitch stability. Combined with the cast aluminium platter and low resonance chassis, it gives the AT-LP5X ideal speed stability for perfect pitch and the lowest distortion.
Enhanced Audio Technica tonearm
The J-shaped tonearm is a classic AT design that’s designed for perfect groove alignment. Fitted with adjustable dynamic anti-skate control, the tonearm lets the cartridge track the record as accurately as possible, giving the lowest distortion and highest levels of detail.
Latest AT cartridge
The AT-LP5X also benefits from being fitted with the latest Audio Technica cartridge. Featuring an elliptical stylus, the Audio Technica AT-VM95E is a great upgrade over standard cartridges. Compared to more basic conical cartridges, the elliptical stylus on the VM95E literally gets deeper into the groove – pulling out more music.
Three speeds – including 78
As well as 33 and 45 records, the AT-LP5X is now compatible with 78s. Simply swap over the stylus for an AT-VMN95SP (available as a cost option) and you’ve a deck perfectly set for 78s.
Archive your records to PC or Mac via USB
With its USB output, hooking the Audio Technica LP5 to your PC or Mac is a moment’s work. Connect the deck to your PC or Mac, use your choice of optional third party software, such as Audacity, and you can record all your vinyl to MP3. From here, the choice is yours. Load them on to your MP3 player or NAS drive, record on to CD or just have the records archived on your computer - whatever your choice, your LPs are now more accessible than ever before.
Built-in phono pre-amp
Audio Technica have made it easy to hook up the AT-LP5X to your existing system. A built-in phono pre-amp means you don't have to have a hi-fi with a phono pre-amp built-in - any AUX input will work fine. Alternatively, switch the built-in phonostage off and use your existing one.
Get deeper into the groove, with the Audio Technica AT-LP5X.
Enjoy top quality, stereo sound plus the convenience of Bluetooth, with the Eltax Monitor III BT.
Wireless music via Bluetooth
Thanks to wireless Bluetooth connectivity, it’s easy to pair your smartphone, tablet or laptop and stream your favourite music. Listen to your favourite streaming service, such as Spotify, Apple Music, TIDAL or Deezer, in top quality stereo sound. You can also stream stored music via your Bluetooth connected laptop or other device, making this an ideal solution for rediscovering your music collection.
Quality, hi-fi stereo sound
Unlike a regular Bluetooth speaker, the Eltax Monitor III BTs are hi-fi speakers at heart. Based on the award-winning Eltax Monitor III, this Bluetooth version has an enviable heritage. With soft dome tweeters, you can be assured of a smooth yet detailed top-end response. Matching this are long-throw woofers for natural vocals and a powerful bass. If this isn’t quite enough bass, there’s even an active sub output for the connection of your choice of subwoofer.
Separate amp not required
A great advantage with these powered Bluetooth speakers is the built-in amp. With a punchy 2 x 20 watt amplifier onboard, the speakers are more than capable of filling a room with music, without the need for a separate amp. This gives a much less cluttered look, without giving up the sonic advantage of stereo sound.
All the connections you need
As well as Bluetooth, the Monitor 3 BT comes with a wide range of wired connections. First off are the RCA phono connections. These accept inputs from just about any hi-fi source (including turntables). A 3.5mm input is ideal for connecting portable devices, or any source with a headphone output. For digital devices, such as TVs, music streamers or CD/DVD/Blu-ray players, there are both optical and coaxial inputs. You can even charge your smartphone, with the USB interface. Pack this lot together and you’ve got a whole lot of connectivity.
Choice of finish
Available in either black or white, the Eltax Monitor III BT speakers suit your style. Detachable grilles offer a smoother style or slightly more transparent sound when removed.
For Bluetooth speakers that don’t compromise on sound quality, the Eltax Monitor III BTs lead the field.
