Audio-Technica AT-LP120XUSB | Phono

A legendary design, time-tested

The Audio-Technica AT-LP120XUSB is one of the most recognizable turntables in the world, inspired by the classic DJ turntable standard. It features a solid, stable, and heavy-duty chassis combined with a direct-drive motor. This model has been a favorite among home DJs for many years.

Plug it in and play—no extra equipment needed

The built-in phono preamp allows you to connect the turntable directly to active speakers or an amplifier via an RCA connection. The USB output lets you digitize your favorite records and record them directly to your computer, so your music can go with you even when you’re away from home.

Quality You Can Feel with a Needle

The Patefon features an S-shaped tonearm with a removable cartridge and an easily replaceable Audio-Technica diamond stylus. This type of tonearm allows for precise adjustment of tracking force and anti-skate, ensuring that the stylus gently and accurately follows the grooves of the record. In the future, you’ll be able to easily replace the stylus or the entire cartridge—the turntable grows with your tastes.

Not just listen, but also play

Micro-pitch control and three speeds (33, 45, and 78 rpm) mean that the LP120XUSB is suitable not only for relaxed listening but also for taking your first steps on the path to becoming a DJ. This is a turntable that doesn’t limit you—on the contrary, it lets you grow.
