Sony PS-LX5BT Fully Automatic Belt-Drive Turntable with Bluetooth
The PS-LX5BT takes the PS-LX3BT's fully automatic operation and Bluetooth transmitter and upgrades the parts that decide how a record sounds. A high-precision moving-magnet cartridge tracks at 2.0 g plus or minus 0.5, the chassis was vibration-analysed during development to suppress resonance, and a gold-plated audio jack takes the supplied detachable cables or an upgrade of your own.
Bluetooth pairs in one step and supports SBC, aptX and aptX Adaptive; the built-in phono preamp is switchable with -4, 0 or +6 dB gain for line or phono inputs. The 296 mm die-cast aluminium platter runs on a belt drive at 33-1/3 and 45 rpm, the arm pipe is aluminium alloy, and auto start, stop and return handle 7 and 12 inch records.
