Building on Audio-Technicas analogue heritage and over 50 years of Japanese audio design the AT-LP5x features upgraded technology while keeping the contemporary style and acclaimed performance of its predecessor the AT-LP5. The LP5x retains the J-shaped tonearm a design inspired by the classic Audio-Technica models of the 1960s and 70s and features a metallic gimbal suspension system and precision bearings to mitigate tracking errors. The tonearm also includes an adjustable counterweight and anti-skate control and comes fitted with a lightweight (9.3g) AT-HS6 headshell and the black AT-VM95E Dual Moving Magnet stereo cartridge.
