Audio-Technica's AT-LP120-USB direct-drive, high-torque professional
turntable is perfect for DJs and other music enthusiasts, especially in
an era that many would call "postvinyl," when it's no longer the norm
for audio/video receivers or even integrated amplifiers to offer a
dedicated phono input. Connect the Audio Technica ATLP120 to your
computer to digitize your old LPs (laptop not included). It also
includes a selectable internal stereo phono preamplifier and a USB
output that connects directly to your computer-perfect for digitizing
your old LPs to high-quality MP3 or FLAC files for playback from your
computer. USB cable and adapter cables are included, along with Mac- and
PC-compatible Audacity software to digitize your LPs. The AT-LP120's
S-shaped tone arm assembly comes with an adjustable counterweight, an
antiskate adjustment, a tone-arm height adjustment and lock, a tone-arm
lift with hydraulic action and lift lever, and a tone-arm rest with a
locking mechanism to keep the arm stable during transport. The turntable
uses a DC servo motor to maintain accurate rotational speed at either
33-1/3 45, or 78 rpm, governed by a selectable, high-accuracy
quartz-controlled pitch lock-all of which gives new life to 7- and
12-inch singles you may not have played for years. Unleash your inner DJ
with the 'table's pitch-adjustment feature, with variations ranging
from either +/-10 percent or +/-20 percent. A pop-up stylus target light
and stroboscopic platter speed indicator offer visual assistance in
queuing and playing your favorite tunes. Forward and reverse play
options unlock countless creative doors. The turntable comes with a
cast-aluminum record platter, a slip mat, and a professional cartridge
and headshell (model ATP-2) that plugs directly into the tone arm.
Adjustable, antivibrational feet keep the platter level, regardless of
your environs. A start/stop button with remote start/stop input lets you
integrate the player with your more sophisticated DJ tools. The player
also includes a 45 rpm adapter with storage receptacle for the adapter
and for a surplus or replacement headshell (sold separately).
The
half-inch standard mount AT95E phonograph cartridge offers outstanding
clarity and detail. Reviewers have rated this affordable,
high-performance cartridge as a best buy value. Manufactured to
Audio-Technica's renowned quality standards, each cartridge is
meticulously assembled with remarkably tight tolerances. The elliptical
diamond stylus is designed to track record grooves with high accuracy
for outstanding audio reproduction. Includes mounting hardware and
stylus guard.
