Audio-Technica AT-LP120XUSB Direct-Drive Turntable

The Audio-Technica AT-LP120XUSB has a new DC servo direct-drive motor, as well as adjustable dynamic anti-skate control and a phono preamplifier selector. The completely manual turntable can play 33-1/3, 45, and 78 RPM records and has a USB output for direct connection to your computer. Simply download the free Audacity recording software (or other software of your choice) for Mac and PC and begin converting your vinyl singles and LPs to digital audio files.

This direct-drive turntable has a handy USB output as well as a detachable dual RCA output connection and a built-in selectable phono preamp so you can connect it straight to your home stereo system, regardless of whether it has a specific phono input or not. The tonearm is an S-shaped tonearm with adjustable tracking force, and the headshell is an AT-HS6 universal ½"-mount headshell with an AT-VM95E Dual Magnet phono cartridge.

For more than 50 years, Audio-Technica has been a pioneer in phono cartridge design, and that expertise is evident in the versatile, high-performance AT-VM95E cartridge, which comes with a 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical stylus but is also compatible with any VM95 Series replacement stylus, providing a wide range of options for every budget and application.

A die-cast aluminium platter with a felt mat, a start/stop button, pitch lock and change slider controls with +/-8% or +/-16% adjustment ranges, a stroboscopic platter with a speed indicator, a removable plug-type stylus target light, an external power supply, and a detachable hinged dust cover are additional features.
