Sitting just above the AT-LP60xBT in Audio-technica's range of easy-to-use record players, the AT-LP70xBT is a fully automatic wireless belt-drive turntable, promising a user-friendly experience with every spin.
The AT-LP70xBT plays 33 1/3 and 45rpm records at the touch of a button and has a switchable phono preamp. This means it can connect directly to powered speakers, such as the company's AT-SP3X, for instance, or an amplifier without a phono stage.
Furthermore, you can stream your LPs and singles directly to wireless speakers via the LP70xBT's Bluetooth transmitter, which supports Qualcomm's aptX Adaptive codec for better quality wire-free playback.
At the end of the integrated J-shaped tonearm is the brand's AT-VM95C moving magnet cartridge. It features a 0.6mm conical stylus that promises to deliver excellent channel separation and low distortion, resulting in "outstanding tonal quality," according to the manufacturer.
If and when you feel ready to upgrade, you can add an external phono preamp and even easily upgrade to another stylus from the popular VM95 range, which offers elliptical, micro linear, or Shibata profiles. You should read our VM95E review for more insight into what the elliptical stylus offers.
Finally, the LP70xBT boasts a stylish three-piece anti-resonance chassis that provides a solid foundation to dampen unwanted noise. It also features an anti-resonance, die-cast aluminium platter with a felt mat.
The AT-LP70xBT is available in three striking finishes—Black Silver, White Silver, and Black Bronze—and features a removable dustcover for £219/ €249.
