Audio Technica AT-LP120XBT-USB Bluetooth Turntable, Black

Full Description

A versatile turntable

Turntables have been at the forefront of the music industry since the beginning. Today they still stand strong, with vinyl remaining a popular format of music media, despite digital music streaming taking over as the mainstream standard. Tailored to the modern world, the AT-LP120XBT-USB is a dynamic turntable that is suitable for multiple applications. With a design based on legendary DJ decks, the AT-LP120XBT-USB is a combination of tradition and innovation. Not only is this turntable suitable for DJ use, but it's also an excellent HiFi turntable too, featuring a built-in phono preamp that can be turned off, and a ground wire terminal to cancel out ground loop feedback. It is equipped with an AT-HS6 headshell with an AT-VM95E phono cartridge, that provides exceptional groove tracking and a detailed and warm pickup.

Ultimate control

Built in a classic DJ configuration, the Audio Technica AT-LP120XBT-USB Direct Drive Turntable has a +/- 10 percent pitch speed adjuster with a quartz lock stabiliser and two-speed selection buttons that set the platter speed at 33 RPM or 45 RPM (the platter can also spin at 78RPM by pressing both speed buttons at once). It also features a heavy aluminium platter with a stroboscopic dot pattern on the rim, a start button, a light up on/off dial and a pilot light so you can see exactly where the stylus is on the record. The tonearm is height adjustable, as well as tracking force and anti-skate. A hydraulic dampened finger lift allows you to remove and place the stylus on the record without touching the headshell. What's more, Bluetooth pairing mode is activated via a button above the pitch fader.

Vast connectivity

Listen to your records on your Bluetooth speaker or headphones by pairing them with the turntable with generation 5.0 Bluetooth technology. Digitising your vinyl records is easy with the USB output, this allows you to digitally play your records and save them as audio files on your computer. You can also connect the AT-LP120XBT-USB via a detachable RCA cable and ground wire, this gives you the option to set the turntable to either phono or line output with the internal preamp. The RCA connection is standard for any amplifier, DJ mixer or active speaker set. Powered by a detachable AC adapter, you can plug it in anywhere. The AT-LP120BT-USB is a truly versatile turntable with multiple uses, a top pick for any vinyl record enthusiast.
