The AT-HS6 universal ½-inch mount headshell comes equipped with the AT-VM95E Dual Magnet phone cartridge provide exceptional audio fidelity thanks to the ultra-wide frequency response.

Digitise Your Vinyl Collection

The thing that sets the AT-LP120XUSB apart from conventional turntables is the integrated USB output. This allows you to plug your turntable directly into your computer. From here you can then capture audio playing through the turntable.

You can use the USB output to digitise your vinyl collection, converting them to digital audio files for your personal collection. You can then clean up and optimise your vinyl records, using music software to bring old vinyl records back to life and improve the audio fidelity.

It is also great for producers, allowing you to bypass the need for a mixer and sample records straight from the turntable. The turntable also features a detachable dual RCA output cable for connecting to external equipment such as studio monitors and hi-fi speakers.

Sleek Design, Robust Construction

The sleek yet stylish design of the AT-LP120XUSB USB turntable not only looks good but is designed for longevity. The professional anti-resonance, die-cast aluminium platter provides optimal durability, ideal for extensive and prolonged use. There is also a popup stylus target, ideal for low-light environments such as nightclubs and more. The stroboscopic platter features its own speed indicator and the variable pitch control features a quartz speed lock for optimal stability when playing records.

The damped base construction helps to eliminate low-frequency feedback colouration for improved signal and audio fidelity. It also comes complete with a wide range of accessories including a USB cable, counterweight and a removable hinged dust cover, keeping your turntable free from dust and other particulates.
