Audio-Technica continues to celebrate its 60th anniversary and has been launching a series of retro devices and the latest to drop is the special-edition AT-LP2022 turntable. It is entirely clear in design as it is made from 30mm clear acrylic materials.
It comes with an AT-VM95E stylus and has a black shell with the option to swap it out for a limited-edition clear AT-VMN95SH Shibata stylus. However, changing this will also alter the sound of the music that is played. The device is fitted with a carbon fiber tonearm as well as a motor that uses sensors to play varying types of vinyl at an RPM of 33 or 45. The turntable is belt-driven and the speed control is at the bottom three-position rotary.
