Audio-Technica has introduced a new teal colour option for its AT-LP60XBT fully automatic wireless belt-drive turntable, offering vinyl enthusiasts another choice when matching their audio equipment to their home interiors.
The new AT-LP60XBTTL joins the existing black and white versions, combining the established features of the turntable with a more colourful appearance. The launch reflects growing interest in audio equipment that delivers both sound quality and visual appeal, particularly as vinyl continues to attract new listeners.
Designed to make vinyl playback straightforward, the AT-LP60XBT features fully automatic operation and Bluetooth wireless connectivity, allowing users to connect directly to compatible speakers or headphones without additional cabling. The turntable can also be connected to traditional Hi-Fi systems and powered speakers using its analogue output.
The model supports both 33⅓ and 45 RPM records and features a belt-drive motor, an anti-resonance die-cast aluminium platter and a redesigned tonearm base and headshell intended to improve tracking and reduce resonance.
An integral Dual Moving Magnet cartridge comes pre-mounted, with a replaceable ATN3600LC diamond stylus. A built-in switchable phono pre-amplifier provides flexibility when connecting to different audio systems, while support for the aptX codec offers an additional option for compatible Bluetooth devices.
Other features include an external AC adapter, designed to reduce electrical noise within the signal chain, and a removable hinged dust cover. The turntable is supplied with a detachable RCA output cable and a 45 RPM adapter.
The continued revival in vinyl record sales has also helped drive demand for turntables that look as good as they sound.
While audio performance remains important, a record player is, by its very nature, a piece of equipment that generally needs to be on display and easily accessible. Unlike many other audio components that can be concealed within furniture or equipment racks, the turntable often becomes a visible part of the living space.
Manufacturers are increasingly responding with a wider choice of finishes, colours and designs that allow customers to make a feature of their record player rather than simply accommodate it.
The new teal edition is another example of this trend, offering a more individual appearance without changing the established technology or operation of the AT-LP60XBT.
The Audio-Technica AT-LP60XBTTL has been available since October 8, 2026, priced at £179 in the UK and €199 in Europe.
