Audio-Technica AT-LP7X Fully Manual Belt-Drive Turntable

The turntable comes with our AT-LT10 headshell and AT-VM95E BK (black) cartridge with 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical stylus, providing excellent channel separation and low distortion for outstanding tonal quality. For easy customization, the stylus can be replaced or interchanged with other styli in the VM95 line, offering a wide choice of options for every budget and application.  

The AT-LP7X is ideal for those interested in experimenting with alternate cartridges. The tonearm’s VTA (vertical tracking angle) adjustment and 16 g subcounterweight allow you to use a broad range of other cartridges and headshells with a combined weight of up to 23.5 g. (A 32 g subcounterweight, available separately, enables the use of even heavier cartridge/headshell combinations.) With its built-in switchable phono pre-amplifier, the AT-LP7X also gives you the option of using MC (moving coil) cartridges.   

The turntable’s 20 mm acrylic platter is driven by an optical sensor-monitored motor that ensures a continuously accurate platter rotation speed of 33-1/3 or 45 RPM. The motor is mounted on vibration-dampening rubber bushings designed to decouple the motor from the plinth, minimizing the transmission of mechanical noise and oscillations. An external switching power supply isolates the AC-to-DC conversion to prevent it from adding any electrical interference, and the turntable’s spring-based, height-adjustable isolation feet offer excellent protection against external noise.  

The AT-LP7X comes with a detachable RCA output cable (dual RCA male to dual RCA male with ground), 45 RPM adapter, and removable dust cover. 

Versatile Cartridge Configuration

Combined, the turntable's AT-VM95 cartridge, VTA (vertical tracking angle) adjustment, and 16 g subcounterweight expand your configuration options. Upgrade to a more refined VM95 stylus or experiment with different cartridge/headshell combinations (up to 23.5 g total). Add the optional 32 g subcounterweight (available separately) and work with combinations up to 28.5g.
