A semi-automatic turntable is a type of record player that combines the convenience of an automatic turntable with the precision of a manual turntable. Like an automatic turntable, a semi-automatic turntable will automatically start the record and lift the tonearm at the end of the record. However, unlike an automatic turntable, a semi-automatic turntable requires the user to manually place the tonearm on the record at the beginning of playback. This gives the user more control over the playback process and allows for more precise cueing of the record.
Semi-automatic turntables are a good choice for audiophiles who want the convenience of an automatic turntable without sacrificing the sound quality of a manual turntable. They are also a good choice for DJs who need a turntable that is both precise and easy to use.
