REVIEWS & TECHNOLOGY
AUDIO TECHNICA LP120X with USB &
BLUETOOTH!
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"-
Additional professional
features include a die-cast aluminium 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 LP120XBT-USB is
designed to give you a high-quality listening experience that's easy to enjoy
right out of the box. A built-in preamp means the LP120XBT-USB can be plugged
directly into your existing speakers, or, with the simple press of a switch,
connect wirelessly via Bluetooth® 5.0 to any bluetooth
compatible speaker, supported home assistant or wireless
headphones. Space saving with no external amps, no clutter and no mess;
just incredible sound and reliable features designed with over half a century
of Japanese audio innovation. The LP120XBT-USB can also be plugged directly
into your computer, for audio playback via your PC speakers or for simple and
easy backup and transfer of your vinyl records to playback on your smart
devices when on-the-go.
