LAB OVERVIEW
LAB REVIEW
When people come into our shop looking for a basic, affordable turntable, we usually recommend the ATPL60. Firstly, it comes with everything you need out of the box including the cartridge and a built-in preamp. Plug it into your stereo system, computer, or powered speakers (with the included cables) and it's ready to go. Operationally, the ATPL60 is simple to use. You can manually place the tonearm on the record or use the convenient start/stop buttons. In addition, when the record is done playing on one side, the tonearm will automatically go back to the ready position. In terms of quality, the ATLP60 is a step above most turntables (in sound quality and build) at this price range. Recommended.

Founded in 1962 in Tokyo's Shinjuku district by Hideo Matsushita, Audio-Technica began as a phonograph cartridge specialist, launching the innovative AT-1 moving-magnet model with a diamond-tipped cantilever that revolutionized affordable high-fidelity playback. Starting with just three employees in a rented house and one million yen in capital, the company quickly expanded, supplying cartridges to Japanese audio manufacturers and relocating as demand surged. This heritage of precision engineering and democratic access to superior sound defines its enduring Japanese craftsmanship.
Audio-Technica has broadened far beyond cartridges into a comprehensive lineup of hi-fi essentials, excelling in headphones, professional microphones, turntables, and phonographic styli. While not heavily focused on amplifiers, speakers, or DACs, it produces elite receivers, wireless systems, and cables, alongside OEM transducers and sensors for pro audio. Its turntables and headphones span entry-level to audiophile grades, with Bluetooth and noise-cancelling models bridging consumer and studio needs.
Renowned for delivering exceptional value through durable, innovative design, Audio-Technica occupies a solid mid-tier position in the hi-fi market, prized by enthusiasts for reliability without extravagant pricing. It garners consistent awards for performance and builds trust via Olympic-grade microphones and global subsidiaries, appealing to discerning buyers seeking proven engineering over boutique exclusivity.
