Description
Designed for listeners who want the precision of a professional direct-drive turntable without sacrificing modern convenience, the Audio-Technica AT-LP120XBT-USB brings vinyl playback into the 21st century. Built around Audio-Technica's specially designed DC servo direct-drive motor, this fully manual player reaches operating speed in under a single rotation — a hallmark of the LP120 lineage that has served DJs and audiophiles since the 1970s. The balanced S-shaped tonearm features adjustable tracking force and dynamic anti-skate control, giving you precise cartridge setup from day one, while the detachable AT-HS6 headshell and included AT-VM95E Dual Moving Magnet™ cartridge open the door to the entire VM95 Series upgrade path.
Three connectivity options cover every listening scenario: Bluetooth® 5.0 with Qualcomm® aptX™ support streams wirelessly to compatible speakers or headphones, dual RCA outputs feed into any home stereo or powered speaker with the switchable built-in phono preamp, and the USB output digitizes records at 16-bit/44.1 or 48 kHz for easy archiving into Audacity or your DAW of choice. The die-cast aluminum platter, quartz-controlled pitch slider with ±10% range, and stroboscopic speed indicator complete a package that earns high marks across expert reviews for its honest feature set and genuine upgradeability.
