Audio-Technica’s first turntable of 2022 has come, and it’s hardly a brand-new turntable. Although the AT-LPW30BK was previously only available in a wood veneer finish, the Japanese manufacturer has announced that the manual belt-drive turntable is now available in black.
Audio-Technica AT-LPW30TK is a fully manual, Belt-drive operation with two speeds: 33-1/3 and 45 RPM.
The widget link in this article is for the original model, which is significantly more affordable than the new black variant. However, with the AT-LPW30BK, Audio-Technica is firmly entrenched in its more conventional markets.
This sleek new black model complements the AT-more LPW30TK’s natural-looking teak finish, providing vinyl aficionados with even more options for choosing an AT-LPW30 turntable that not only sounds great but also blends seamlessly into their surroundings.

According to the Japanese manufacturer, the belt-driven, two-speed turntable is “built to produce ideal high-fidelity audio replication from vinyl in a sleek, classy manner.”
This is due to a walnut veneer plinth that minimizes low-frequency acoustic feedback while still looking stylish. This is aided by the straight aluminum tonearm and built-in phono preamplifier, which can be connected directly to your speakers for a more polished overall sound.
The LPW30BK turntable, developed in Tokyo with 60 years of experience in the creation of high-fidelity equipment, is intended to produce excellent high-fidelity audio reproduction from vinyl in a sleek, classy appearance.

Audio Technica headphones are among the finest available. The company has a long history of manufacturing high-quality audio equipment such as microphones and turntables.
Although Audio Technica was founded in 1962, the company has been manufacturing audio headsets for nearly 40 years. Audio Technica released its first headset system in 1969, and the company has worked to develop its products year after year since then.
While they are most known for their headphones, they also offer turntables and other audio gear. While Sennheiser is most recognized for its HD series, Audio Technica is best known for its M series, a direct rival of Sennheiser.
As a result, you’ll often see these two put against one another to determine who is the greatest. The Audio-Technica AT-LPW30BK is now available for £290 / €339 (about $379 or AU$510). The price is undoubtedly very attractive for audiophiles.
