Key Features & Innovations
Direct-drive DC servo motor — delivers high-torque startup, speed accuracy, and low wow and flutter across 33-1/3, 45, and 78 RPM speeds without belt degradation.
Triple connectivity (Analog, Bluetooth & USB) — features wired RCA analog outputs, Bluetooth 5.0 with Qualcomm aptX audio for wireless playback, and a USB port for digital vinyl archiving via Mac or PC.
Balanced S-shaped tonearm — engineered with hydraulically damped lift control, adjustable tracking force counterweight, and dynamic anti-skate calibration.
Pre-mounted AT-VM95E cartridge — comes factory-installed on an AT-HS6 universal headshell with a 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical diamond stylus, allowing plug-and-play operation and modular stylus upgrades.
Built-in switchable phono preamplifier — selectable PHONO and LINE outputs provide direct hookup to dedicated phono inputs, powered stereo monitors, or AV receivers.
Quartz pitch lock & variable slider — quartz-controlled pitch lock ensures rock-solid pitch stability, with a variable +/-8% or +/-16% slider and stroboscopic speed indicator for precise manual adjustments.
Damped die-cast aluminum platter — professional stroboscopic platter features edge-grip indicators and a custom felt slipmat to minimize rotational resonance.
How does the AT-LP120XBT-USB differ from the AT-LP120XUSB?
The Audio-Technica AT-LP120XBT-USB adds integrated Bluetooth 5.0 wireless connectivity with Qualcomm aptX and SBC audio codec support, allowing direct wireless pairing with Bluetooth headphones, soundbars, and powered speakers in addition to traditional RCA analog and USB connections.
Can I convert my vinyl records to digital audio files with this turntable?
Yes. The integrated USB Type-B output connects directly to a Mac or Windows PC, enabling direct digital recording via free recording software like Audacity at CD-quality 16-bit 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz resolution.
Can I upgrade the stylus without changing the whole cartridge?
Yes. The pre-mounted AT-VM95E cartridge shares universal compatibility across the VM95 Series. You can easily upgrade to a nude elliptical (AT-VMN95EN), MicroLine (AT-VMN95ML), or Shibata (AT-VMN95SH) stylus by unclipping the stylus assembly and snapping on the replacement.
Does this turntable support vintage 78 RPM shellac records?
Yes. The electronic speed control supports 78 RPM playback. However, you should swap the standard microgroove stylus for the dedicated 3.0 mil AT-VMN95SP conical stylus before playing 78 RPM shellac discs to avoid groove damage.
