AT-LP120XUSB Setup | Direct-Drive Turntable (Analog & USB) 

Hi there! The recommended weight is up to 600 grams or 21 ounces. Thanks! - A-T USA

@@AudioTechnicaUSA la meilleur platine tres bon son . fiable j adore

​@32discodave ah yes. A $300 system isn't good as a $2100 system. You're so smart 🤡

​@32discodavematka wie żeś debil ?

@@Velocifaptor92they call it a “step-up” turntable for a reason. it’s better than entry level, but not as good as audiophile.

My God! I had literally the same issue!

We were having trouble with some nasty feedback, trouble shooting everything we could. Then my wife (Jasm) just started looking through the comments. Ours was on "phono" as well. Just put it on "line" and presto we are dancing to the music. Thanks for your comment Joseph, it really did the trick. 👍👍👍👍👍

You. Will love it love it man love it

@@franklinhowell3370 I love it man

Looking for an update, are you happy with it?

@@woohunter1 still love it. Working flawlessly.

@@MrMegatron85 thanks, mine should be here any day

@@the_hobbyist well, 78rpm records do have a much wider groove, and depending on how they have been cared for is reflected in sound reproduction. Some may sound really worn and hissy but, if you play the groove wall, you'll have a much clearer sound, ( I do this only when copying the record, but don't recommend for every day listening) even spraying the disc with water can improve sound reproduction. With later 78s' the groove is more compact but still require a larger needle ( the turn-over cartridge found on Danette's have a smaller needle for LP,(red) 16 & 33 1/3 rpm and a fatter one for standard play (green) 78 & 45rpm) ..Records made after 1973 tend to have smaller grooves and require a smaller needle (red) and with todays records the grooves are even smaller and much easier to damage, so a light weight Tone arm and stylus is preferred. In answer to your question, a 78 rpm record can damage your stylus, I tend to use a part worn stylus for this turntable, so I use a new one for vinyl and a part worn for 78s , unless you're 78s are mint condition (always mark the one you use for 78s) .. I've never experienced a stylus breaking through playing shellac but I wouldn't say it's not possible. As they rotate at twice the speed, a chip or deep scratch can 'chip' the tip of your stylus and therefore, will seriously damaged your vinyl. So, in conclusion, yes, it's possible 78s can break a stylus, and it's always best to use the right type of needle for all records but for shellac, it doesn't really matter. Tip, always hold a 78 with your middle finger under the spindle hole and the thumb on the edge of the disc. And hold around the edges of the record or use lint free gloves, because the oils from your skin can spoil the laquer finish and make the disc more brittle and encourage dirt and dust to settle in the grooves.

Yeaa thats manual for u. I wish it went back too

Having none of the mechanics inside a turntable for auto return and/or start, makes for a more quiet signal. All turntables need to be as quiet as possible so the cartridge does not pick up any added noise.

I can't seem to find any of this type with automatic return either, I'll buy in a blink of an eye if I find one. I would love to have it on this model. AT take notice ;-)

My parents old ‘radiogram’ had a 4 record stacker and automatic return, also pumped out some sound.

​@Christian Boddum Hi, these are mostly used by DJ's. That's why it's fully manual. Because auto-return arm features would hinder the DJ's ability to swap records quickly.

Audio-Technica IS Positively Thee Best Quality & Value on the Market for Decades ! I’m a 70 Year Old Audiophile Who Began Listening EARNESTLY in 1956 After I Caught Elvis on The Ed Sullivan Show When I was 4 Years Old on My Brother’s Record Player ALL the Time and Haven’t/Never Stopped Since ! I Learned PROPER Record Care from my Cousin the TRUEST Audiophile EVER in the 1960’s When Component Systems Were JUST Being Developed ! LUCKY Me I Lived in Cambridge, MA Just a Few Streets Away From the Advent Speaker Company AND Factory Where THEE Henry Kloss of BOTH Advent AND KLH Was at the Helm of Each Company ! I STILL Have My Original 1st Year Large Advent Speakers in Near MINT Condition Having ONLY to Re-Cone ONE Woofer Over ALL These Years and I Used to Listen to My Music 🎶♥️🎶VERY Loud With Again NEVER Any Problems With the Exception of the Aforementioned ONE TIME Re-Coning, TRUE ! Plus I ALWAYS Ensured EACH Component Always had ABUNDANT Ventilation and STABLE Placement on My Original TEAK System Stand with FOUR Adjustable Areas BELOW its Top With also NO Doors or BACK Making it COMPLETELY Open to Prevent ANY Heat Build-Up ! It’s also SUFFICIENTLY Large to PREVENT Any Vibrations from Effecting the Turntable; AND Because I Became Such a HUGE Music 🎶♥️🎶Lover at a VERY Young Age I Began REGULARLY Collecting Records (LPs and EPs) That Back Then You Could Purchase for $2.39 NEW and 99% of My Collection are Truly MINT !!! Oh, and While I Followed, Bought and Saw MOST Great Bands Through the Years (Except Disco, UGH !!!) I Consider Myself VERY Fortunate to Have Lived in Cambridge and Boston as HUGE in LOVING Music 🎶♥️🎶 as We are in Sports BUT Music is Primary for Me; Boasting Here, My Uncle Was THEE Cello Player for The Boston Pops When ARTHUR FIEDLER Was the Maestro ! ROCK ON BECAUSE ROCKING DOES KEEP YOU YOUNG AND FUN LOVING, Thank God ♥️‼️‼️‼️

How are you liking it my dude

@@spicymeatpaul307 I've been loving it! It's such a good turntable. Been playing records like crazy.

Do you own one ?

i am doing it now. i found the arm balance but the number is already zero. so i leave it like that right? looks it has a good balance and is already on zero. so i did not move the number dial as it is zero already then i adjusted the whole thing at 2 and then 2 anti skating. do u think is it ok?

Hi there! Leaving the dust cover open while playing prevents the buildup of low frequencies which can occur within it. This buildup can cause the turntable to resonate, creating feedback and distortion. Leaving the cover open also prevents skipping which can occur when the cover is lowered and raised during play. Thanks! - A-T USA

Hi Oleg! Since this turntable is manual, it does not have the automatic tonearm lift. We do offer automatic turntables that have this capability. Thanks! - A-T USA

Audio-Technica USA Thanks for the answer. I really enjoy my new turntable!

You are speaking to the choir:-) I love listening to music sometimes at night and it helps me sleep especially Beethoven's Piano Concerto's....won't be able to do this on my LP120..but it's amazing this feature is not available on this turntable. Wonder how much more it would have tacked the price up?

Great ..Turntable AT LP 120 USB ,lovely💕👍

I bought this but it's. Working fine with line in output to my Amp but when I switched the phono output into my Amp phono input I only can hear one side of my speaker tower while the other speaker tower only can hear fuzzy noise why it is so?

They dont listen CDs either now

tres bonne platine vinyle fiable et prix inbatable 220 euro

Me too! I love mine... Top turntable❤❤❤

hi matt Can I connect it directly to my marshall stanmore 3? or It need an ampli?

if it has a usb jack on it you should be able to plug it in as the turntable has it's own built in pre-amp. But I can't be 100% sure so you'd have to try it for yourself.@@TiStv75

Hi there! Yes, that is correct. Thanks! - A-T USA

Hi there! Yes, the cartridges are aligned for the turntable. The alignment process is not difficult to do and if you would like to confirm the alignment, you may find helpful information on doing so here: www.audio-technica.com/en-us/support/audio-solutions-question-of-the-week-how-do-i-align-my-audio-technica-phono-cartridge/ Thanks! - A-T USA

Hi there! The reverse playback option is on the AT-LP140XP and the AT-LP1240USBXP, thank you. - A-T USA

Probably because records aren't meant to be played backwards. It can permanently damage the record and/or the stylus cantilever.

The point of balancing the tone arm is just to ensure that when you set your tracking force it is accurate. It isn't meant to stay in that perfectly balanced state forever - just consider the first step in properly setting tracking force.

Hi there! The AT-LP120XUSB has an internal RIAA Phono preamp which allows you to connect the turntable to any LINE level input in a stereo receiver or directly to powered speakers. Thanks - A-T USA

You've gotta put an amp or receiver to it or powered speakers.

So what is it preamp or not

@@russellleahy I ended up buying it, all you need is a set of powered speakers. If you buy a set of speakers that aren't powered (basically if the speakers won't plug into the wall) then you need to buy an amp to power the speakers, but the turntable has a built in PRE amp, so no amp is needed to power the turntable.

Hi Frank! The AT-LP120-USB is equipped with a USB output, thanks! - A-T USA

The Internetwanderer bro.... there’s headphones with usb inputs

The Internetwanderer idk, there’s still a lot of high quality professional headphones that use a usb input, i’m assuming that would work

The Internetwanderer i see. i’m not very educated in the audio sector, so i’m glad i was able to learn this before i bought one of these and headphones lol

En cuanto bla compraste en pesos mexicanos

This is professional turntable and its type is not the one that should be automatic because it is for DJs

Hi there! Antiskate is outward pressure placed on the tone arm to offset the centripetal force of the stylus in the groove of a spinning LP, which will pull the tonearm inward. When the antiskate is properly set and the tone arm is hovering it will always return to the tone arm rest. That is normal behavior. Thanks! - A-T USA

Hi there! The highest sample rate that the AT-LP120XUSB will output is 48kHz. If a higher sample rate is required, you will need to purchase an A/D converter. Thanks! - A-T USA

It needs to be unbalanced but in the right way so you have a certain weight on the cartridge for it being able to track the grooves on your vinyl
