Built for audiophiles
Akai built the BT500 with audiophiles in mind, starting with a reliable isolated DC motor with a belt-drive transmission for accurate playback with low wow, flutter, and noise transmission. The solid aluminum platter even lifts up to let you tweak motor settings. Adjustable feet and integrated leveling bubble help you get a perfect needle drop even on unideal surfaces. Integrating the BT500 with your audiophile setup is no problem thanks to a switchable on/off phono preamp.
A turntable with a sampling heritage
Akai is a company that knows sampling. The BT500 gives you clean, reliable playback and gold-plated RCA outputs to connect your record collection directly to an MPC or other controller. This allows you to grab drum breaks, chord stabs, and movie samples from your favorite records for use in EDM and hip-hop music. And for DAW use, a USB digital out and free conversion software let you rip samples directly to your compatible Mac or PC.
