” 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. Unlike more basic decks, however, 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 with 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 stage
Audio Technica have made it easy to hook up the AT-LP5X to your existing system. A built-in phono stage 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.

Excellent Service
A purchased an Audio Technica LP5X deck from Tony at Leicester over the telephone. He was really helpful and advised me on a technical question. I may have to position my deck 6m away from the amp. He told me about baluns that allow connection to CAT 5 cable. This saves expensive and bulky RCA cables. Thank you Tony

Great service, excellent product
I've just bought this, my first vinyl record player since I was a teenager. Very pleased with the service received from Tony and his team in Norwich...my first words were "I know nothing" and was then talked through it all in a non-patronising and easy to understand way. Everything arrived by 10am on the first working day after making the purchase.

Great product with clean fresh sound
This is the first “better quality” turntable that I have bought. I can say that there is a noticeable increase in the quality with a clean crisp sound. The only thing that I would like it to have is an auto return on the arm. There is the facility to play 78rpm records but I am not sure I would trust them not to damage the needle.

Great record player and service!
I bought this not too long ago and was met with great service, very helpful and kind. The player itself plays very well and was easy to setup. Great product overall!

An excellent piece of kit.
A step up from my Bluetooth unit, the difference could not be more startling. Well engineered and great quality.

New turntable
I went looking for a replacement deck for my OLD pioneer PL512 which had developed an annoying hum through the speakers, which remained after checking the earth loop, cartridge and stylus.
I had looked around for options and AT deck seemed a good reasonably priced option.
Richer (Bath) provided good info and so I bit the bullet and got the LP5X which was delivered promptly the next day. This fixed the issue and every is running well
