Wireless Direct-Drive Turntable

This fully manual turntable is modeled after the AT-LP120XUSB, but adds the convenience of Bluetooth wireless connectivity to the existing analog and USB outputs. Featuring a specially designed DC servo direct-drive motor and adjustable dynamic anti-skate control, the AT-LP120XBT-USB plays 33-1/3, 45, and 78 RPM records and outputs the high-fidelity audio to the device of your choice. Use the included RCA output cable along with the built-in selectable phono preamp to connect to your home stereo or powered speakers. Use the USB cable to connect to your computer (and then download the free Mac- and PC-compatible Audacity recording software, or software of your choice, to start converting your records to digital audio files). Or use the Bluetooth wireless technology to pair the turntable with wireless speakers, headphones or other devices, including those that support the high-quality Qualcomm aptX audio codec.

The turntable also features an S-shaped tonearm with adjustable tracking force and an AT-HS6 universal ½"-mount headshell with an AT-VM95E Dual Magnet phono cartridge. Audio-Technica has been a leader in phono cartridge design for more than 50 years, and that expertise shows 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, offering a wide choice of options for every budget and application.

Additional professional features include a die-cast aluminum platter with felt mat; a start/stop button; selectable high-accuracy quartz-controlled pitch lock and pitch change slider control with +/-10% adjustment range; a stroboscopic platter with speed indicator; a removable plug-type stylus target light; external power supply; and a removable hinged dust cover.

The turntable offers fully manual operation, with selectable 33/45/78 RPM speeds, a direct-drive, DC servo motor, and adjustable dynamic anti-skate control. It also features a variable pitch control with quartz speed lock, as well as a stroboscopic platter with a speed indicator and a removable plug-type target light for easier cueing in low light. The balanced S-shaped tonearm has hydraulically damped lift control and a lockable rest, while the AT-HS6 universal ½"-mount headshell and AT-VM95E Dual Magnet phono cartridge with a 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical stylus provide high-quality audio performance.
