Audio-Technica expands its line of direct-drive turntables with the semi-automatic AT-LP8X, featuring a newly designed tonearm lift that automatically raises the tonearm at the end of a record side and stops the motor.

The AT-LP8X’s tonearm lifts automatically at the end of a record and its motor automatically stops – rare features on a direct-drive turntable. This gives you the freedom to listen casually and not worry about when a record will end.

The turntable’s AT-VM95E cartridge is compatible with any Audio-Technica VM95 Series replacement stylus, making it easy to experiment with different styli profiles upgrade to a higher-quality stylus to enjoy more refined sound or switch to an AT-VMN95SP stylus to play 78 RPM records.

The turntable’s robust MDF box plinth, adjustable feet, thick rubber-damped, anti-resonance, die-cast aluminum platter, and 2.5 mm rubber mat work together to temper unwanted noise and vibration so you can enjoy all the detail of your music.

We got our start in Tokyo in 1962, designing and manufacturing high-performance phono cartridges. That half-century’s worth of analog expertise goes into every turntable we produce, ensuring you get the best listening experience from your vinyl.
