Description
Audio-Technica AT-LP3XBT Fully Automatic Bluetooth Turntable, Black | AT-LP3XBTBK
Automatic belt-drive playback with Bluetooth, switchable phono preamp and removable universal headshell.
AT-LP3XBT in black combines fully automatic belt-drive playback with Bluetooth. It supports 33⅓ and 45 RPM records and is designed to reduce manual handling at the start and end of a side.
The turntable also includes a switchable built-in phono preamp for wired systems and a removable universal headshell. That combination gives it more setup flexibility than an automatic deck with a fixed cartridge assembly.
