Audio-Technica Gives AT-LP60XBT Turntable a Teal Makeover
Audio-Technica has introduced a teal version of its AT-LP60XBT turntable, adding a new color option after the company long limited its models to black and white. Only the plinth gets the teal finish, while the platter, tonearm, and other parts keep their existing black and silver styling. The turntable still offers Bluetooth with aptX, wired RCA output, and selectable 33-1/3 and 45 RPM speeds, priced at £179 (about $237), with U.S. availability not yet confirmed.
Audio-Technica’s AT-LP60XBT has long been a familiar entry point for listeners who want straightforward vinyl playback. The new teal treatment changes only the plinth, leaving the platter, tonearm, and die-cast aluminum details in their usual black and silver finishes. Internals and performance remain unchanged.
The deck keeps Bluetooth with aptX for wireless speakers and devices, plus dual RCA output for wired systems. It also offers 33-1/3 and 45 RPM speeds. Priced at £179, roughly $237, it is sold through Audio-Technica; U.S. release details are still unconfirmed.
The teal option may matter most to style-conscious vinyl newcomers and existing fans who treat turntables as visible home objects, not just audio gear. A broader color choice could help Audio-Technica reach buyers who want their setup to match a room or personal aesthetic. It may also nudge competitors toward more varied finishes. For U.S. shoppers, the impact could remain limited until availability is confirmed, since price and access shape adoption.
