Description
AT-LP7X
In designing the LP7X, Audio-Technica paid special attention to chassis geometry, ensuring that the platter, spindle, and tonearm were optimally positioned for accurate, distortion-free tracking.
The J-shaped aluminium tonearm, inspired by classic A-T models of the 1960s and 70s, features a dual-axis gimbal with precision ball bearings to further enhance tracking performance.
Headshell / Cartridge
The turntable comes with the AT-LT10 headshell and AT-VM95E BK (black) cartridge with elliptical stylus, providing excellent channel separation and low distortion for outstanding tonal quality. For easy customization, this stylus can be replaced or interchanged with other styli in the VM95 line, offering a wide choice of options for every budget and application.
AT-LP7X is ideal for those interested in experimenting with alternate cartridges. The tonearm’s VTA (vertical tracking angle) adjustment and 16g subcounterweight allow you to use a broad range of other cartridges and headshells with a combined weight of up to 23.5 g.
(A 32 g subcounterweight, available separately, enables the use of even heavier cartridge / headshell combinations.)
With its built-in switchable phono pre-amplifier, the AT-LP7X also gives you the option of using MC (moving coil) cartridges.
Platter
The 20 mm acrylic platter is driven by an optical sensor-monitored motor that ensures a continuously accurate platter rotation speed of 33-1/3 or 45 RPM. The motor is mounted on vibration-dampening rubber bushings designed to decouple the motor from the plinth, minimizing the transmission of mechanical noise and oscillations.
PSU / Connections
An external switching power supply isolates the AC-to-DC conversion to prevent it from adding any electrical interference, and the turntable’s spring-based, height-adjustable isolation feet offer excellent protection against external noise.
The AT-LP7X comes with a detachable RCA output cable (dual RCA male to dual RCA male with ground), 45 RPM adapter, and removable dust cover.
