Audio-Technica AT-LP140XP Direct Drive Turntable, Silver Overview

Audio-Technica AT-LP140XP Direct Drive Turntable, Silver

The AT-LP140XP fully manual professional DJ turntable features a high-torque direct-drive motor and anti-resonant, mass-damped, die-cast aluminium platter to ensure stable, on-axis rotation at 33-1/3, 45, and 78 RPM. It is equipped with an S-shaped tonearm with height adjustment, adjustable tracking force (counterweight) and adjustable dynamic anti-skate control.

Audio-Technica has been a leader in phono cartridge design for more than 50 years, and that expertise shows in the durable, high-output AT-XP3 DJ cartridge with 0.6 mil conical bonded stylus included with the turntable. It comes pre-mounted to an AT-HS6 universal ½"-mount headshell.

Designed to connect to components with a dedicated phono input, the turntable comes with a detachable dual RCA output cable which supplies a strong 5.5 mV phono output.

Additional professional features include a start/stop button; forward and reverse play; selectable high-accuracy quartz-controlled pitch lock and pitch change slider control with +/-8%, +/-16%, and +/-24% adjustment ranges; a stroboscopic platter with speed indicator; a retractable plug-type stylus target light; and a removable hinged dust cover.

Good turntables and the supplied DJ-grade cartridge conical stylus is surpisingly good - genuinely surprisingly good. They have replaced a pair of Numark TTX-USBs in my home set-up and while the AT-LP140XPs are not built like the "tanks" that the Numarks are, and the torque from the motors is also not quite the same, their lack of audio electronics makes the output much cleaner for quieter material. I can once again listen to accapella and quiet intros without getting irritated by that 50Hz mains hum (the Numarks are just like that, more on the phono than the line output, but ...) The added bonus of having hinged lids (for a home environment) is a nice to have.
