The Audio-Technica AT-LPW40WN is an audiophile-inspired, entry - mid level turntable. It features a carbon fiber tonearm and a beautiful wood veneer finish. With a built-in phono preamp, you can plug it directly into any aux input. The pre-mounted AT-VM95E cartridge on the AT-HS4 headshell offers a wide range of replaceable stylii from the VM95 series. It has a belt drive motor with button-controlled 33/45 speed. The MDF base and die-cast aluminum platter ensure stability. A removable hinged dustcover is included. Unlike the AT-LP120X which takes inspiration from DJ turntables, the AT-LPW40WN is inspired by high - end audiophile designs. Key features include manual tonearm operation, detachable RCA cables, and a switchable phono preamp. It measures 16.53' x 13.38' x 4.6' (420.0 mm x 340.0 mm x 116.9 mm) and weighs 10.4 lbs (4.72 kg). It comes with a removable hinged dust cover, AT-VM95E stereo cartridge, AT-HS4 headshell, rubber turntable mat, 45 - RPM adapter, RCA audio cable, and AC adapter.
Using your Audio-Technica AT-LPW40WN turntable is easy. First, place it on a stable surface. Connect the included RCA audio cable to your audio system's aux input. Plug in the AC adapter. Put a record on the platter and use the 45 - RPM adapter if needed. Lower the tonearm gently onto the record to start playing. When you're done, lift the tonearm back to its rest position. Make sure to keep the removable hinged dustcover on when not in use to protect the turntable from dust. For maintenance, clean the platter with a soft, dry cloth regularly. If you need to replace the stylus, the AT-VM95E cartridge is compatible with any VM95 Series replacement stylus. Just follow the instructions that come with the new stylus. Also, if you're using an amplifier with its own phono stage, you can switch off the built - in phono preamp.
