This is an Audio-Technica belt-drive turntable with fully automatic operation: the tonearm lifts, returns and shuts off on its own at the end of a record. Belt drive and a built-in phono preamp keep setup simple, and the automatic arm makes it a low-effort pick for casual listeners. Against manual rivals like the AT-LP60X and LP120, it trades DJ-style control and pitch adjust for convenience. Reviewers of Audio-Technica's automatic decks generally rate the easy operation and reliable speed, while some find the plastic plinth and light build less sturdy than manual models.

Owners of Audio-Technica's automatic belt-drive decks tend to like the hands-off operation and clean sound for the money. Some criticise the plasticky build and the fixed cartridge, which limits upgrades.
Whether you're just getting into records, rediscovering a record collection long since buried away, or simply adding a turntable to complete your system, the Audio-Technica AT-LP60X Fully Automatic Belt-Drive Turntable is an ideal choice. This affordable, easy-to-use turntable plays both 33-1/3 and 45 RPM records and, with its built-in switchable phono preamp, can be connected directly to your home stereo, powered speakers, computer, and other components, whether they have a dedicated phono input or not. The AT-LP60X features a redesigned tonearm base and headshell to improve tracking and reduce resonance. Noise is further reduced by the inclusion of an AC adapter that moves the AC/DC conversion outside of the chassis where its impact on the signal chain is limited.
