Upgrading the previous generation of AT-LP3 turntable, the white AT-LP3XBT Fully Automatic Two-Speed Turntable with Bluetooth from Audio-Technica is designed to produce high-quality audio. The AT-LP3XBT now supports the aptX and aptX Adaptive codecs for higher fidelity wireless audio, and moved power conversion out of the plinth to reduce interference and noise. The turntable is fully automatic and can spin 33 1/3 and 45 rpm records via a belt-drive motor system. Thanks to a built-in switchable phono/line pre-amp, when going with a wired setup, you can choose to directly connect the AT-LP3XBT to a speaker or your existing audio system.
Noise Reduction
A variety of features are incorporated to remove one of the most dreaded aspects of vinyl playback: noise. To start, Audio-Technica moved the power conversion from inside the plinth to outside the turntable via an external AC adapter. Other noise reduction features include a base with damped construction for reducing low frequency feedback, and utilizing a die-cast aluminum platter with an included felt mat for significantly reduced vibration.
Automatic Playback
Playing your vinyl records is much easier on the AT-LP3XBT thanks to automatic playback. With a flick of the switch, a hydraulically damped lift control will raise the balanced straight tonearm from its rest and automatically place it on the record to begin playing. Once the record's finished, the tonearm will automatically lift and place itself back on its rest.
