Direct-Drive Motor for Professional Applications

The AT-LP140XP features a high-torque direct-drive DC motor, delivering stable rotation and rapid start-up, suitable for both DJ performance and critical listening. The quartz speed lock maintains precise rotation speeds at 33-1/3, 45, and 78 RPM. This supports playback for a wide range of vinyl records.

S-Shaped Tonearm and Advanced Tracking Controls

A balanced S-shaped tonearm provides accurate groove tracking. Adjustable height, tracking force, and dynamic anti-skate control enable careful cartridge alignment and reduced distortion. The universal 1/2"-mount headshell allows users to swap cartridges to suit diverse playback requirements.

Cartridge and Platter Design

The die-cast aluminum platter is mass-damped and anti-resonant, minimizing unwanted vibrations for stable playback. A supplied slip mat supports precise cueing and scratching.
