The Audio-Technica AT-LP140XP features a direct-drive motor and a mass-damped, die-cast aluminum platter, which helps ensure a stable on-axis rotation. The S-Shaped tonearm works to reduce tracking error. The tonearms height can be adjusted, features a counterweight, and has an adjustable anti-skate control. There are also start/stop, forward, and reverse play buttons. The selectable high-accuracy quartz-controlled pitch lock and pitch change slider control the pitch ranges of the music. A pop stylus target light is extremely useful in low-light situations.
