Fully Manual Belt-Drive Turntable
AT-LP7X
Sounds as good as it looks — matte-black, resonance-free.
The AT-LP7X fully manual belt-drive turntable blends analog excellence with style and versatility. Featuring a dense MDF plinth and acrylic platter to minimize unwanted resonance and vibration, this elegant, matte-black turntable delivers sound that’s just as clean and refined as its appearance.
In designing the LP7X, we paid special attention to chassis geometry, ensuring that the platter, spindle, and tonearm were optimally positioned for accurate, distortion-free tracking. The J-shaped aluminum 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.
Refine Your Sound
Versatile Cartridge Configuration
Combined, the turntable’s AT-VM95 cartridge, VTA (vertical tracking angle) adjustment, and 16 g subcounterweight expand your configuration options. Upgrade to a more refined VM95 stylus or experiment with different cartridge/headshell combinations (up to 23.5 g total). Add the optional 32 g subcounterweight (available separately) and work with combinations up to 28.5 g.

The AT-LP7X fully manual belt-drive turntable blends analog excellence with style and versatility. Featuring a dense MDF plinth and acrylic platter to minimize unwanted resonance and vibration, this elegant, matte-black turntable delivers sound thats just as clean and refined as its appearance. In designing the LP7X, Audio Techica paid special attention to chassis geometry, ensuring that the platter, spindle, and tonearm were optimally positioned for accurate, distortion-free tracking. The J-shaped aluminum 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. The turntable comes with Audio Technica AT-LT10 headshell and AT-VM95E BK (black) cartridge with 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical stylus, providing excellent channel separation and low distortion for outstanding tonal quality. For easy customization, the stylus can be replaced or interchanged with other styli in the VM95 line, offering a wide choice of options for every budget and application. The AT-LP7X is ideal for those interested in experimenting with alternate cartridges. The tonearms VTA (vertical tracking angle) adjustment and 16 g 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. The turntables 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. An external switching power supply isolates the AC-to-DC conversion to prevent it from adding any electrical interference, and the turntables 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.
