Why This Turntable Redefines Your Listening

Ready to dive into the grooves? The AT-LP120XUSB-BK is packed with features designed for pure analog enjoyment and seamless digital conversion. From its high-torque motor to its premium cartridge, every element is engineered to pull the most detail and life out of your records.

High-Fidelity Audio of Vinyl: Experience your favorite albums as they were meant to be heard. The combination of a high-quality motor, tonearm, and cartridge ensures a rich, detailed, and immersive listening experience that digital formats often miss.
Direct-Drive, DC Servo Motor: Get up to speed almost instantly and enjoy rock-solid rotational stability. This powerful motor ensures your records play at the exact speed without the belt-stretching woes of lesser turntables, preserving the music’s pitch and timing.
AT-VM95E Dual Magnet Phono Cartridge: Audio-Technica’s 50+ years of cartridge expertise shine with the included AT-VM95E. This high-performance cartridge with its elliptical stylus traces the record groove with precision, delivering outstanding clarity, stereo separation, and dynamic range. Plus, it's interchangeable with any VM95 Series stylus, so you can easily upgrade for a different sound down the road.

Designed for Precision Playback

The AT-LP120XUSB-BK is engineered for listeners who appreciate the finer details. Its adjustable controls and precision components work in harmony to minimize distortion and maximize audio fidelity, giving you a clean, accurate reproduction of the original recording.

Adjustable Dynamic Anti-Skate Control: This feature applies a small outward force to the tonearm, counteracting the natural tendency for it to pull inward. Giving you balanced stereo sound and reduced wear on both your stylus and your records.
Balanced S-Shaped Tonearm: Not just for looks, the S-shaped design is a classic for a reason. It helps maintain a perfect tracking angle across the entire record, ensuring consistent sound quality from the lead-in groove to the final track. The hydraulically damped lift control lets you cue up tracks smoothly and safely.
Variable Pitch Control with Quartz Speed Lock: For the aspiring DJ or meticulous listener, the pitch slider allows you to adjust playback speed by +/-8% or +/-16%. When you just want perfect, unadulterated playback, engage the quartz lock to snap the speed to a dead-accurate 33-1/3, 45, or 78 RPM.
Damped Base Construction: Unwanted vibrations are the enemy of clear sound. The turntable's solid, damped base construction absorbs external rumbles and reduces low-frequency feedback, so all you hear is the music.

Analog Heart, Digital Brain

This turntable masterfully combines the best of both worlds. Enjoy the classic ritual of spinning a record through your home stereo or easily convert your vinyl collection into high-quality digital files to take with you anywhere.

USB Output for Digital Recording: Digitize your vinyl collection with ease. The built-in USB output allows you to connect directly to your computer. Using the free Audacity software (or your preferred recording program), you can create digital archives of your rarest LPs or load up your phone with the warm sound of vinyl.
Built-in Switchable Phono Preamplifier: No dedicated phono input on your receiver? No problem. The onboard preamp boosts the signal to line level, so you can connect the turntable to virtually any amplifier, powered speaker, or audio system. If your setup already has a phono stage you love, just flip a switch to bypass it.
Professional-Grade Platter: The die-cast aluminum platter provides a stable and anti-resonant surface for your records to spin on. Paired with the included felt mat, it dampens vibrations and ensures your music comes through loud and clear.
