Hi-fi Playback with Minimal Noise

Audio-Technica’s AT-LPW30BKR turntable is purpose built to offer an exceedingly high-fidelity listening experience. A fully manual belt-driven design and anti-resonance, die-cast platter deliver clear and crisp sound with minimal noise. The AT-VM95C cartridge, 0.6 mil conical stylus, and AT-HS4 universal 1/2-inch mount headshell ensure that you’ll hear every sonic detail of your favorite records, while the straight tonearm with hydraulically damped lift control keeps everything balanced. Plus, this turntable is loaded with features like an adjustable dynamic anti-skate control and a switchable phono pre-amplifier that for an impressively versatile solution to your vinyl playback needs. If you’re looking to upgrade your sound system with a pro-level turntable, the AT-LPW30BKR does it all at a wallet-friendly price!

Built for high-fidelity sound

The AT-LPW30BKR is built for high-fidelity sound, and it does it without breaking the bank. Its belt-drive, servo-controlled motor combines with an MDF plinth and a high-quality AT-HS4 headshell to deliver impressive tracking and minimal low-end rumble. Its durable die-cast aluminum platter bucks resonance to lessen ringing and unwanted vibrations, while its AC adapter handles AC/DC conversion outside of its chassis to further reduce noise. What’s more, an Integral Dual Moving Magnet cartridge with a 0.6-mil conical stylus delivers a coherent presentation with solid bass and smooth treble. At Sweetwater, we’re impressed by the AT-LPW30BKR — its sound outperforms many other turntables in its class.

Audio-Technica AT-LPW30BKR Turntable Features:

  • Manual belt-drive motor offers unparalleled sound quality and minimal noise
  • Can be operated at both 33-1/3 and 45 rpm for compatibility
  • Static balanced straight aluminum pipe tonearm and AT-HS4 headshell deliver precise tracking
  • Sturdy die-cast aluminum platter and anti-resonance MDF plinth greatly reduce unwanted vibration and resonance
  • AC/DC power conversion is handled outside the chassis, reducing your signal chain’s noise floor
  • Dynamic anti-skate control keeps the tone arm centered and prevents distortion
  • Built-in selectable phono preamp offers incredible sound on any mixer or receiver
  • Straight tonearm with hydraulically damped lift control and lockable rest ensures a balanced operation
  • Comes with 45 rpm adapter, dual RCA stereo cables, rubber mat, and hinged dust cover for an all-in-one setup right out of the box

Rated 2/5

Great sound but poor QC

I really, really wanted to like this deck.

When it works it sounds good even on old 45's that are nearly unlistenable on others.

The issue is I've had to go through 2 RMA's and the third one I've received also has the same issue. The platter spindle seizes up randomly and no longer spins and when it does work it has random slow downs during play.

Sweetwater has been great so far trying to assist with this issue however I can't trust this model to last and am going to opt for a different brand.
