The Audio-Technica AT-LP120X USB offers a lot for its low price. It’s available in silver and black and comes complete with a cartridge, cables, and even a dust cover. The turntable can output a line signal in addition to the phono signal. This makes it easy to connect the turntable to a wide
variety of mixers and amps. In addition, a USB port further expands the possibilities. The AT-LP120X USB SV makes quick work of digitizing your vinyl collection. This turntable is a good choice for bedroom DJs and vinyl beginners – if you’re serious about DJing, it’s probably best to invest a bit more.
BEST DJ TURNTABLES (MEDIUM PRICE RANGE)
The AT-LP140XP is a very puristic deck by today’s standards. The manufacturer has focused on implementing the most important features in high quality at a reasonable price. You get a height-adjustable tonearm, adjustable feet with decent decoupling, and three speeds as well as three pitch ranges.
In addition, the AT- LP140XP can play records backwards. The manufacturer’s AT-XP3 cartridge and matching headshell are included, as is a slipmat, dust cover, and RCA cable. The turntable outputs only a phono signal via its gold- plated RCA output, so it’s very traditional in this respect, as well.
BEST DJ TURNTABLES (PRO LEVEL)
With the PLX-1000, Pioneer DJ offers a turntable that is considered a serious alternative to the classic from Technics. With a robust and heavy chassis, the build quality is spot on. The PLX-1000
offers a high-torque motor, excellent vibration dampening, and an S-shaped tone arm with good isolation. The sound is great, the pitch range is very wide and there’s a convenient reset button for the tempo.
