superior digital formats up to double DSD by using the included software that's easy and intuitive to use you'll be able to enjoy the high fidelity quality that comes with listening to music on vinyl even if you're out and about what's more thanks to the integrated phone ohm EQ amp you can simply plug the turntable straight into speakers and get going straight away that means less equipment to buy less hardware to organize in your home and more space to save bring the best of 21st century digital technology to your vinyl collection with the Sony psh ex 500 a turntable with specifically designed - ponents digital ripping capability and easy to use software you cut the cord but keep the vinyl with this fully automatic belt drive turntable featuring wireless connectivity utilizing Bluetooth wireless technology a simple push of the turntables pairing button allows it to connect wirelessly to speakers headphones or other Bluetooth technology devices so you can set up your turntable in one room and listen to it in another without having to run a bunch of cables designed to play both 33 and a third and 45 rpm records the ATL P 60 BT features intuitive controls for speed selection and record diameter a front panel lift control enables the stylus to be precisely lowered and raised at any point on the record yet the turntable offers fully automatic operation simply press the start button to begin play and the stop button to lift and return the tonearm and shut off the turntable the ATL P 60 B T's lightweight tone arm incorporates an integral dual magnet phono cartridge with a replaceable diamond stylus it's anti resonance die-cast aluminum platter is belt driven by a DC several controlled motor to minimize Wow and flutter while a felt slip mat protects the record being played a removable hinged clear dust cover is included to protect the turntable and not in use along with Bluetooth wireless connectivity the ATL P 60 BT can connect directly to audio components using the included audio output cable an internal switchable preamp allows the turntable to be used with stereo receivers and amplifiers having dedicated phono inputs or wired components having only line or augs inputs the ATL P 60 BT fully automatic belt drive turntable from Audio Technica automatic convenience now with wireless connectivity brings your records to life I was selling high five products to friends and the turntables that I used to buy used to arrive broken as a naive young engineer I just assumed I could make something quicker than I could repair the broken turntables and that started the company I made something a little bit visually different and gave us a very very definite but small market in the beginning when the company had been going a few years we were able to be more confident and going the duration that we wanted to which was better sound quality an LP contains a series of vibrations but when it's standing still it's in oil it only produces those vibrations when it's rotated and those vibrations are so small so minuscule they're less than a millionth of an inch or a thousand for than a millimeter so that rotational speed is crucial and the accuracy of the rotational speed is crucial at a level that most people can't quite comprehend so precision engineering is a key to many of the parts we make most of it is below realistic measurement levels and we tend to use people's senses their ability to feel very very small dimensional changes I'm in an industry where I do not personally know a turntable designer there are other companies that make turntables but I don't know any turntable designers at all and I feel very lonely design is absolutely crucial even for a small company we have a team of five design engineers and we are constantly re-evaluating everything we make every minute of the day we're trying to improve trying to look at new materials new techniques and our aim has literally been musical pleasure but using our engineering expertise to create that musical pleasure you you
