↳ Fully automatic hifi convenience

👉 The Automat is fully automatic, meaning there's a switch that starts the motor and moves the tonearm onto the record. When the record gets to an end of the side, the tonearm returns and the motor shuts off. This is an excellent feature for convenience and passive listening (you can also manually control the turntable).

The Automat is handmade in Germany and boasts several features you won't find on other automatic models; namely a wood body, vibration-absorbing damped platter, and high-quality RCA cables.
