Audio-Technica today announced the introduction of its AT-LP60 Fully Automatic Turntable System, a high quality, attractively priced turntable that includes a built-in phono preamp, phono cartridge, cables and accessories. The AT-LP60 can be used with a wide variety of home entertainment systems.
Crystal Griffith, Audio-Technica Consumer Marketing Manager, noted, “Our new AT-LP60 makes it easy and affordable for listeners to get into the fun and musical enjoyment of listening to records, whether they’re buying their first turntable, or rediscovering their record collection.”
Featuring a sleek new design with rounded corners and a metallic gray finish, the AT-LP60 comes with a pre-installed phono cartridge, connecting cables, a hinged removable dustcover and a 45 RPM adapter. The AT-LP60 offers fully automatic operation – one touch activates the cueing mechanism and the pickup arm automatically lifts off the record at the end of a side, to keep records scratch-free. The turntable has a 33-1/3 and 45 RPM speed selector to play vinyl formats from LP albums to 12-inch and 7-inch singles.
The AT-LP60 is designed for outstanding sound quality and convenience. It features a professional aluminum platter, a precision Dual Magnet TM stereo cartridge with replaceable stylus and a damped pickup arm. Its built-in switchable phono preamp and included RCA and 3.5-mm adapter cables enable connection to a wide variety of music and home entertainment systems, computers, powered speakers, and to A/V receivers that do not include a dedicated phono input.
The Audio-Technica AT-LP60 Fully Automatic Stereo Turntable System will be available in December 2009 online or at Audio-Technica authorized retailers at a suggested retail price of $149.00.

Does anyone know when specifically this product will be available? I was hoping to buy it as a Christmas present. I called my local retailer and he had no idea.

Thanks! I didn’t realize that was the same product since it had a slightly different name than what was on the press release. I appreciate your help.

Good day. I stumbled across your web page by mistake but was glad that I took a second to look. My mother and I have begun a significant amount of research for finding the hottest news trends and results about where to find them. Finally, thanks for the friendly advice – happy I ran across this page and will share with my friend.
