other · 2026-10-08

Audio-Technica has unveiled a vibrant teal version of its AT-LP60XBT fully automatic wireless belt-drive turntable. This model occupies a central position in the company’s lineup, which ranges from fun, portable decks to high-end audiophile options like the fully manual AT-LPA2. Targeted at vinyl beginners, the AT-LP60XBT provides traditional wired speaker connections and high-fidelity audio via Bluetooth, enabling users to stream vinyl to portable speakers or headphones. While it may not offer the most precise acoustic experience, it serves as a colorful introduction to vinyl. Priced at £179 / €199, this edition is available on Audio-Technica.com and @AudioTechnicaEMEA. Audio-Technica was founded in Japan in 1962 by Hideo Matsushita.
