Description
In designing the LP7X, Audio-Technica paid special attention to chassis geometry, ensuring that the platter, spindle, and tonearm were optimally positioned for accurate, distortion-free tracking. The J-shaped aluminum tonearm, inspired by classic A-T models of the 1960s and '70s, features a dual-axis gimbal with precision ball bearings to further enhance tracking performance.
The AT-LP7X is ideal for those interested in experimenting with alternate cartridges. The tonearms VTA (vertical tracking angle) adjustment and 16 g subcounterweight allow you to use a broad range of other cartridges and headshells with a combined weight of up to 23.5 g. (A 32 g subcounterweight, available separately, enables the use of even heavier cartridge/headshell combinations.) With its built-in switchable phono pre-amplifier, the AT-LP7X also gives you the option of using MC (moving coil) cartridges.
Features
• Fully manual, belt-drive operation with two speeds: 33-1/3 and 45 RPM• Heavy 40 mm MDF (medium density fiberboard) cabinet construction reduces resonance and vibration for clearer sound
• Motor features a speed-sensor system to maintain accurate platter rotation speed
• 20 mm-thick, high-density acrylic platter offers high rotational inertia to spin records at a consistent speed (no platter mat required)
• J-shaped tonearm with adjustable VTA (vertical tracking angle)
• AT-VM95E BK (black) cartridge (0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical stylus) pre-mounted to the lightweight AT-LT10 removable headshell
• AT-VM95 cartridge is compatible with most VM95 Series replacement styli, offering a wide choice of options for every budget and application
• Included 16 g subcounterweight provides an expanded cartridge/headshell weight range of 14.023.5 g
• A larger 32 g subcounterweight is available separately to enable the use of cartridge/headshell combinations up to 28.5 g
• Adjustable anti-skate control to counter the inward force the styli experiences during playback
• Built-in switchable phono pre-amplifier with selectable modes for MM (moving magnet) or MC (moving coil) cartridges
• Includes dual RCA (male) to dual RCA (male) stereo cable with ground, 45 RPM adapter, and removable dust cover

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
