Audio-Technica AT-LPW30TK Fully Manual Belt-Drive Turntable
The AT-LPW30TK is a fully manual, belt-drive turntable engineered for optimal high-fidelity vinyl reproduction. Its anti-resonance MDF plinth with simulated teak veneer minimises low-frequency acoustical feedback, while the die-cast aluminium platter and DC servo motor deliver stable, consistent playback at 33⅓ and 45 RPM.
Paired with the AT-HS4 universal ½"-mount headshell and the AT-VM95C Dual Moving Magnet phono cartridge, the AT-LPW30TK is ready to play straight out of the box. The built-in switchable phono preamplifier lets you connect directly to any amplifier — with or without a dedicated phono input — while the external AC adapter keeps noise out of the signal chain.

Caring for your Speakers and Amplifiers
To Keep your equipment safe these are some best practices to note. Please be advised that this is only to reduce the risk of misuse and is not an exhaustive list.
Speakers
- Speaker terminals are marked red and black, ensure your amplifier to the speakers are wired on the same colours
- Ensure no loose speaker wire from the red touches a loose wire from the black as this will lead to a short circuit and damage either the speaker, the amplifier or both.
- Not all speakers are designed to play at max volume, kindly consider the pairing of your amplifier and speakers
- Speaker cabinets cannot be replaced please handle with care.
AV & Stereo Amplifiers
- If your amplifier has HDMI ports, ensure all devices are off before plugging in the HDMI cable
- Turn off the amplifier before swoping out or adding speaker cable
- Amplifiers generate heat, place them in a well ventilated space. if possible avoid having anything on top of the unit.
- adding a surge protector can assist with power dips which are likely to damage your devices. Isotek and Furman are industry standard.
- Dusty environments can sometimes lead to accumulation of dust in the electronic components that might affect heat regulation
