Product description

This update of the AT-LP120-USB turntable features a new DC servo direct-drive motor, along with adjustable dynamic anti-skate control and selectable phono preamplifier. The fully manual turntable plays 33-1/3, 45, and 78 RPM records and is equipped with a USB output that allows direct connection to your computer. Just download the free Mac- and PC-compatible Audacity recording software (or software of your choice) and start converting your records to digital audio files. But in addition to the USB output, the turntable also comes with a detachable dual RCA output cable and is equipped with a built-in selectable phono preamp so you can connect directly to your home stereo, whether it has a dedicated phono input or not. The turntable features an S-shaped tonearm with adjustable tracking force and an AT-HS6 universal ½"-mount headshell with an AT-VM95E Dual Magnet™ phono cartridge. Audio-Technica has been a leader in phono cartridge design for more than 50 years, and that expertise shows in the versatile, high-performance AT-VM95E cartridge, which comes with a 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical stylus, but is also compatible with any VM95 Series replacement stylus, offering a wide choice of options for every budget and application. Additional features include a die-cast aluminum platter with felt mat; a start/stop button; selectable high-accuracy quartz-controlled pitch lock and pitch change slider control with +/-8% or +/-16% adjustment ranges; a stroboscopic platter with speed indicator; a removable plug-type stylus target light; external power supply; and a removable hinged dust cover. Available in black (AT-LP120XUSB-BK) and silver (AT-LP120XUSB-SV).

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I plug this turntable into powered speakers and have sound or do I need a receiver
Answer:	You can use it in both ways.
Question:	I have always owned belt drive turntables. I have read that direct drive can be noisy. How is this one as far as rumble
Answer:	My previous turntable was a very nice AR belt drive table, and I had the same concern about direct drive rumble. Not any more. The AT-LP120XUSB is dead silent. It sounds incredible.
Question:	So, since this turntable has a built in preamp, does this mean I can use passive speakers? Or do I need powered speakers
Answer:	No. You'll need powered speakers or you'll need to plug it into an amp to use passive speakers. "Preamp" = pre (before) amplifier. Preamps and phono amps take the very low signal from the stylus and amplify it to a level that an amplifier can use. AND (the reason record players need phono-specific preamps instead of a standard preamp) the preamp/phonoamp also decodes the RIAA format that all albums since the 1950s use, which is proprietary and needs a specific type of decoding to play the music.
Question:	Ok,..in plain english,...can i plug this tt into external speakers? that's all i want it for. if yes,...what type of speakers
Answer:	Yes you can... The turntable has a built-in preamp. You want to buy powered speakers. They sell tons of them now. The best I have heard were KRK powered speakers. To get a good idea of what’s available, check out the needledoctor or crutchfield websites.

Strictly Focused on the Sound of Vinyl Playback: Pro-Ject X1 Turntable Features Excellent Tracking, Quiet Operation, Push-Button Speed Control, and Olympia Phono Cartridge Discover the stunning tones, three-dimensional imaging, and thrilling dynamics embedded in the grooves of your favorite albums with the Pro-Ject X1 turntable . Handcrafted in Europe with eight layers of luxurious high-gloss finish, X1 ignores unnecessary bells and whistles in favor of focusing on just one thing: sonics . Cue up an LP on X1's resonance-free acrylic platter and sit back as you witness how the innovative decoupled motor system reduces distortion and breathes fresh life into your entire vinyl collection. Employing an extremely stiff 8.6-inch carbon/aluminum tonearm that comes factory-mounted with a highly regarded Sumiko Olympia MM phono cartridge – and complete with a four-point precision tonearm bearing and aluminum tonearm base with azimuth and VTA adjustment – X1 tracks with a level of precision that enables it to unearth layers of vivid detail. A TPE-damped counterweight, dense anti-resonant MDF chassis, and height-adjustable aluminum/TPE feet all work to drastically reduce the resonance that causes lesser turntables to seem drab and lifeless. X1 houses a sophisticated DC/AC generator board which, combined with a convenient push-button 33/45/78RPM speed control board, supplies clean and stable power to its ultra-quiet motor. No wonder X1 touts propulsive pacing and highly accurate pitch control that direct-powered AC motors found in average turntables cannot match. When you consider other features – such the superior electromagnetic- and radio-interference- shielding of X1's low-capacitance RCA cables as well as the dustcover – you have an audiophile turntable that looks and sounds far more expensive than it costs . A proud and majorly updated continuation of t

Marrying the Golden Age of the Past to the Higher-Performing Vinyl Promise of the Present: Music Hall Classic Turntable Features Uni-Pivot Tonearm, Cartridge, and More Look at the belt-driven Music Hall Classic turntable dead-on from eye level, and you'll see a refined analog instrument defined by a dark-walnut wood-veneer base so alluring, its finish seemingly belongs in America's finest steakhouses. View it from above, and you'll notice the uni-pivot tonearm, factory-mounted Spirit cartridge, touch-sensitive electronic speed control for 33/45RPM , aluminum platter, felt mat, and super-accurate lines for the counterweight. But while Classic proves a looker, its practical fortitude comes alive when spinning LPs, a process it makes even easier with automatic lift and shut-off functionality and quiet, detailed, ultra-stable playback . You can also opt to use its built-in bypassable phono preamplifier as well. A powerful DC motor, adjustable damping feet, removable head shell, and dust cover round out an instrument that weds the golden age of the past to the higher-performing vinyl promise of the present. 100% Music Direct Satisfaction Guaranteed. "[You'll need to probably spend three times as much on a pre-configured table to make upgrading over the Classic truly worth it. A simple cartridge upgrade, which may run you an additional $100 or $200, is bound to be a better investment overall. So, all that said, how would I sum up the Music Hall Classic? It is a well-rounded, pleasant sounding turntable that is somewhat a jack of all trades and dangerously close to being a master of some of them." – Andrew Robinson, Home Theater Review , four-star review "At $599 and as plug'n'play as a 'table can be, the Classic is a must-audition. It's a delight to use, and its included Music Hall Spirit cartridge extracts maximum information from the groove."

Product description

Pro-Ject's belt-driven Elemental turntable provides arguably the best value to performance ratio found in the entry-level audiophile industry today. It's stylish and svelte plinth design is mass-loaded with a disc of artificial stone which gives it similar resonance-dampening characteristics as tables twice it's size. The polished stainless steel platter spindle is cradled by a machined bronze bushing with a Teflon base layer to reduce friction and virtually eliminate any bearing rumble. The 8.6" low-mass aluminum tone arm is mounted with an Ortofon OM5E moving magnet cartridge that is pre-aligned and pre-balanced so you can start listening to your collection as soon as possible. The gold-plated RCA plugs and cartridge pins ensure that the audio signal is passed cleanly and without compromise from the record groove to your system and out through your speakers. Available in matte red, white, or silver with black accents, the Elemental turntable from Pro-Ject is the easiest way to plunge into high-end audio and help reveal what has been missing from your vinyl playback.

• Low-profile plinth design for stylish looks and minimal footprint
• 8.6" lightweight aluminum tone arm for accurate playback
• Belt-drive with low-vibration synchronous motor for low operating noise

Product features

Less is More

Elemental’s chassis has been reduced to the bare minimum, to the same gravity mass point as our high-end models. Elemental’s foundation is a molded piece of artificial stone, making it heavy enough to deal with any vibration energy from the bearing and the motor.

Central Gravity Mass Point

Elemental's hidden secret to sonic success is its central mass point, which is made from artificial stone and is located directly underneath the platter bearing. This central mass absorb unwanted rumble and vibrations.

8.6" Low Mass Tonearm

Elemental's 8.6" low mass straight tonearm is designed to deliver the audio signal from your record without gathering unwanted outside resonances that could smear or otherwise degrade your music.

Super Easy Setup

Because Elemental comes pre-adjusted out of the box, installation is a breeze. Tracking force and anti-skating are carefully set at the factory; no further setup is needed.

Ortofon OM 5E MM Cartridge

Elemental comes equipped with Ortofon's OM 5E moving magnet (MM) cartridge. Its elliptical shaped stylus provides balanced and distortion-free playback that is this table's perfect match.

300mm Platter

Elemental's MDF platter provides a smooth rotation for fantastic sonic performance, and is finished off with a felt mat.

Low Vibration Belt Drive

Elemental’s belt drive design features a low vibration synchronous motor and remote locatable DC power supply for velocity stability, less electrical interference and reduced vibration.
