The AT-LP120-USB: A Timeless Standard

The AT-LP120XBT-USB: Embracing Wireless Connectivity Building upon the foundation laid by its predecessor, the AT-LP120XBT-USB retains the exceptional attributes while integrating contemporary wireless connectivity. Notably, Bluetooth® technology takes center stage, facilitating effortless pairing with wireless speakers or headphones supporting high-quality codecs like Qualcomm® aptX ™ . Retaining the direct-drive motor, dynamic anti-skate control, and versatile RPM playback, this turntable offers seamless connections to home stereo systems or computers via USB. The addition of Bluetooth connectivity expands the horizons of a wireless listening experience while maintaining fidelity. It also features a selectable pitch control with an expanded adjustment range, alongside professional-grade components such as the AT-VM95E cartridge and die- cast aluminum platter, upholding the standards expected from Audio Technica.

The AT-LP120-USB established itself as a paragon of quality turntable design, featuring a DC servo direct-drive motor that ensures precise playback at 33-1/3, 45, and 78 RPM. Its multifaceted capabilities extend beyond conventional analog output, offering a USB connection to seamlessly convert vinyl records into digital audio files via compatible software like Audacity. Boasting an S-shaped tonearm, adjustable tracking force, and the esteemed AT- VM95E cartridge, Audio-Technica's 50-year legacy in phono cartridge design shines through. The AT-VM95E, furnished with an elliptical stylus and compatible with a range of replacement stylus options, caters to various preferences and budgets. Additional professional-grade features like the die-cast aluminum platter, selectable pitch control, stroboscopic platter with speed indicator, and a removable dust cover contribute to its high-performance profile.
