Play 33⅓ & 45 RPM records your way, experimenting with different styli as you begin to discover your personal audio preferences.

Integrated Bluetooth® technology gives you the flexibility to connect your turntable quickly and easily, no matter where you are or how you choose to enjoy your vinyl experience. Whether you pair your LP3XBT with speakers to provide the perfect soundtrack for a gathering with friends, or listen through a pair of Audio-Technica headphones for a deep listening session, you can expect impeccable high-fidelity audio.

High-Fidelity Audio

The LP3XBT connects seamlessly to a wide array of Bluetooth® compatible devices, including speakers and headphones. Its compatibility with the high-quality Qualcomm® aptX™ audio codec ensures exceptional sound reproduction when using the LP3XBT.

For vinyl enthusiasts looking to replicate the distinct, warm sounds of analogue audio, the AT-LP3XBT can also be used as a wired turntable.

Simple to Setup

Automatic operation is a superb choice for those looking for an easy-to-use turntable setup. Play, stop, and change rotation speeds with ease. With a hydraulically damped lift control and lockable rest, all you need to do is lower the balanced straight tonearm into position and allow your turntable to work its magic.

The LP3XBT plays two speeds: 33⅓, and 45 RPM.

Refine Your Sound

The tonearm’s removable AT-HS3 universal headshell and dual moving magnet cartridge allows you to experiment with your cartridge choice to find the perfect sound to suit your listening preferences. The AT-VM95C cartridge is compatible with any VM95 Series replacement stylus, offering a wide choice of options for every budget and application.

Style and Substance

The damped base construction provides reduced low-frequency feedback coloration, while the die-cast aluminium platter with a felt mat controls resonance to reduce unwanted vibration.

AT-LP3XBT is available in two classic colours – black or white.
