Having purchased the AT LP120XBTUSB I can find no faults with this turntable it works like a dream having been using vinyl for close on to 55years now I can honestly recommend it
the lp 60 is automatic and you can just press start and the vinyl starts automatically and the arm will return by itself when its finished. lp 120 dont have this feature. this is a killer for me. i dont like the lp 120 because of this. i prefer not having to be worried about placing my stylus at the good spot and having to make sure i go remove it fast when the vinyl has ended to not damage anything. also , the lp 60 has a belt and it is known that the belt is better than a direct drive because the direct drive can sometimes bring noise which the belt dont do. a belt is also easier to replace that a motor i guess. the lp 120 stylus does cost more than the lp 60 stylus and the turntable also.
Well I would say the 120 is more expensive for a reason. The tone arm is adjustable to every difference heads you can place, which is something more professional I would say, and I can tell you, definitely the direct drive would cause less noise than the motor and the band, it has more parts in the assembly, the LP 60 has a motor too, so both has motor but one has also band, pulleys etc, more complex and possibility to cause noise. If it plays automatically the when you want to move the tone arm manually, you may damage the mechanism. The LP 120 has a mechanism that allows you to place the stylus on the record smoothly, and take it out same way. If you don’t realize when the record finishes, at least my records have athe end like a groove loop to avoid the stylus go any further. I would say LP60 is good for people that would just like to take it easy and listen the music from vinyl. The LP120, is more for people that are more into the “play vinyl art” if you will. For those that would like to be more “professional” in the subject.
@@armandotrujillo4166 hey i respect your opinion but i dont think its about being professional to choose having a 120 model over the 60. if you want to use a turntable professionally , i dont think u will get any of those really. on the lp 60 you do not need to change the cartridge model and its fine using the one provided with the lp 60. you only have to change the stylus when it gets old thats all. personally i got a turntable to listen to music and the fun of having vinyls and i prefer not having the trouble of use it manually. its very cool just push a button and the turntable starts and then stops automatically. i have the 60 model and honestly i dont hear any sound other than the music. no motor sound or anything. i use a 200 dollars soundbar and im pretty sure having a 120 would not change anything in the sound. thats a personal choice which model you want. i prefer save money and have an automatic turntable and i think the 60 model is awesome. its already something to change the vinyl sides and even push the button each half hour or so to start the music again. also having to mantain vinyls like clean them and store them. some prefer play mp3 or cd which are even less trouble. if you really want to be professional and start work as a dj or something , then u better look for a 2000-3000$ turntable. :)
Yeah I mean, obviously a professional would not use any of these models, that’s why I used (“”) for the word “professional”. I would say the 60 is way more easy to set up and play your records. I agree with you that you don’t hear other noise than the music, my point is mechanically, out of the 2 systems, the one with the band would make more noise first, that doesn’t mean that necessarily the LP60 is making noise. I think there are models for all tastes. Me, I am more hands on guy, and I just find amazing to set up my turntable, I really enjoy it, besides listen to the music. The LP 120 also is heavier which would bring more stability. But hey, both systems are ok. I am 42 years old and I am getting new records, and re discovering the old records of my late father, so I’m dealing with new and more than 50 year old records. I found this equipment amazing and I feel comfortable to handle it. Also I got my 14 year old son interested and he’s crazy about it, playing the records of his late granddad, which he didn’t met (my dad died 35 years ago). Enjoy your turntable as we are!!!
@@armandotrujillo4166 yes question of choice but for the noise i read somewhere that actually the mechanical do more noise because of the motor. decoupling motor from platter eliminates a source of potential noise. i also use old records and i guess this will damage the stylus faster. i would not want to use some stylus that cost tons money. thats another reason why i like the lp60 because the stylus is not a huge price.
Thanks for the outstanding setup video. I was really struggling with the setup and distortion. I thought that I was not getting the counterbalance correct, or had somehow damaged the stylus. After the video helped me confirm that the counterbalance setup was correct, I found the ultimate problem. The "Line" vs "Phone" setting. Once I set it to "Phono" the distortion immediately ceased. This is a great turntable. Thank you Audio-Technica.
Got mine yesterday. Setup worked like a charm. This device looks so beautiful. I started with a Coheed and Cambria Album. What a fantastic listening experience. Now I am really hungry for more. 🙂
Great and comprehensive video that sticks to the point. My only two gripes are that it doesn't show how to mount the dust cover (turned out to be fairly easy, but I was a little afraid of breaking the hinges) and it doesn't explain the weird little black disc next to the Counterweight on 0:46 (which is, seemingly, never used...?).
The little black disc is basically an adapter that you place over the metal center piece in the middle of the platter. This allows you to play 45 RPM records.
Have one of these on the way, wish I'd watched this first! I plan to run it through the phono input on my Denon amp and will occasionally want to use BT headphones. Will be really irritating to have to toggle a tiny switch on rear of unit to put it in 'Line' mode to use BT. Surely putting this switch somewhere more accessible would have made more sense? Or maybe BT pairing could be enough to 'disable' the Phono output...
i have the 'black' model and i'd like to know in future upgrades to make it semi automatic so that the end of the vinyl stops and lifts [same as the Dual 505]. it would sell more. Why don't they include a 78 cartridge .from Greece
How accurate is the cartridge alignment out of the box? I am blind, so aligning the cartridge myself is out of the question. I can get some assistance with setting the tracking force and antiskate, but I know that cartridge alignment is a much more involved and time-consuming process.
Hi Robert! No additional alignment is required when setting up the turntable. The cartridge and headshell are aligned and ready for use out of the box. Thanks! - A-T USA
Hi there! If the cover is down, vibrations can get trapped between the cover and the top of the turntable, which will make the turntable more prone to feeding back. Thanks! - A-T USA
@@AudioTechnicaUSA Thanks for the explanation. With my setup (powered speakers, no amp), I don’t have any problems with feedback if the cover is down or tiled up while playing - but if it starts, I’ll know to check this. Love this TT!! I just bought one from my daughter’s birthday (to upgrade her current setup).
I enjoyed your explanation but have a doubt. Can we connect the phono cables to a ‘’Marshall’’ (Stanmore mark 1 type) speaker which has input for external devices such as an amp but no option to connect a ground cable??? Many thanks in advance.
@@richmck007 You should be able to. You might get a little feedback. I don’t have mine grounded and get a very small amount. If you get an unacceptable amount - search YT for videos on how to mitigate - there are work arounds. Cheers!
The suggested grams for the counterweight and the anti-skate tracking value are so off. I’ve been trying to set this turntable up for quite a while now thinking it was some hardware issue, but after drastically changing the recommended settings, it finally worked a little bit. Since I had to eyeball it, the setup still isn’t where I was expecting or wanting it to be when I purchased it. I’m going to continue to try to fine tune it, but I just wish the recommended settings were at least a little closer. 🤦🏻♂️
Hi there! As far as the turntable goes, it is only a bluetooth transmitting device, so it is only going to pair to one bluetooth receiving device at a time(bluetooth speaker, bluetooth headphone, or bluetooth receiver adapter). There are bluetooth speakers out there that are sold as a pair (like the Samson MediaOne BT3 or Kanto YU4 for example) so you can pair one device(like the turntable) and have it play in stereo out of both speakers. Thanks! - A-T USA
I have two lp120xusb, a M2 mixer, and Kanto yu6 speakers.. my sounds isn't coming through and I even bought a RCA cable separately... Any tips to playing both?
Do you have to do the readjustment for the tone arm every time you replace the stylus with the same one, or only when changing the cartridge head and stylus with a different type?
Hi there! When replacing the stylus with the same one, it is not necessary to rebalance the tonearm, as the weight of the combined cartridge, stylus, and head shell has not changed. You would want to rebalance the tonearm when the head shell or cartridge has been replaced, since it is highly unlikely that these would weigh the exact same as the previous components. -A-T USA
nice turntable, it's a shame because my comes with needle bent to the left and just broke off immediately. Gladly I had some cheap head replacements that's compatible with the arm but I can't believe this pass the final inspection test before it's been send to the shops.
Hi! Sorry to hear that you are not finding the related parts to your turntable. Many of the smaller pieces are incorporated into the styrofoam packaging, to ensure that they do not get damaged or expel within the box, while shipping. Let us know if you are still not able to find the secured pieces. Thank you! -A-T USA
Need some help please; still like the turntable which i received by mail from best buy, however it came with the wrong AC Adaptor. The one provided is obviously for another country. Can I please swap these out?????
It's a good turntable for playing records. Except you can't set the tone are on 2 grams... that's way to light... i have to set mine on 3 grams. And the anti skate don't work like it should. I have to set mine between 1 and 2 grams. To be correct..... i wish the turntables were made in Japan.........
You mentioned the Bluetooth and usb completely disabled when switched to PHONO. Does that mean this particular 120 model doesn’t require the mod to remove the built in pre amp associated with high frequency filters?
HI AT > I have the TT for over 3 years of trouble free pleasure. But I now see that when I use the lever to lower the tonearm to the record, it moves very quickly down. I am required to lower the lever very carefully or it lowers the tonearm too quickly. Is there an adjustment to the Lever?
The provided stylus is for the playback of 33-1/3 and 45 rpm vinyl records only. To play 78 rpm shellac records you will need a stylus that was specifically designed to do so. The grooves on a 78 rpm shellac record are much wider than the grooves on a 33-1/3 and 45 rpm vinyl record. When you want to play 78 rpm records on the AT-LP120XBT-USB Turntable, you can do so by replacing the provided .03 x .07mil elliptical stylus with our 3.0mil conical stylus, the AT-VMN95SP Stylus.

I'm planning to get this turn table but I want to know if the built in pre-amp is enough to connect it to a Sonos One speaker or would getting a separate phono pre amp like a Fosi Audio work better.
Hi David! The Sonos One can only connect to devices via Wifi, not Bluetooth. Since the Sonos One doesn’t appear to have any analog audio inputs, the AT-LP120XBT-USB will not be compatible with that speaker. Thanks! - A-T USA
@@AudioTechnicaUSA Thanks for the reply. I am definitely going to get the AT-LP120XVT-USB as my turntable for my vinyl sound system but I'm not sure what would be best. The turntable does have a pre-amp but is that enough to connect it to speakers so I can enjoy listening to vinyl records? I've also decided I want to add a Sony 5 channel receiver to my set up but to be honest I'm still a little confused on what I need to use for an amp/pre-amp so I can get the best quality sound for my investment.
@@davidpatton7205 Many customers connect our turntables to powered speakers. These are speakers that require power from an electrical outlet or battery to work. The reason these speakers need power, is to utilize the built in amplifier of the speaker. This means you could plug the turntable directly into these speakers and be good to go. Another route you could take, would be connecting the turntable to a receiver / amplifier, and then connect passive speakers (or speakers that don’t plug into the wall outlet or use battery power) to the receiver.

In this photo that light is blue. Is my model faulty? Thank you
Hi Rob, this is correct. The light does flash red and blue after powering on the unit. If another Bluetooth device is not paired to the turntable during this time, the Bluetooth function times out after about 1 minute and the light turns solid red. The light is solid blue when the turntable has paired to another Bluetooth device. Your turntable is not faulty. Thanks! - A-T USA
Can the TT be used in 2 modes , separately. Connect to a Receiver (Denon DHA-800H) via the Phone connection to the Receiver which uses the Receiver's Phone Preamp built in AND also connect to BT speakers .

Hi Aldo! If the turntable is connected to the Phono input on the receiver the pre-amp selector switch on the turntable must be placed in the Phono position. It does not matter which position the switch is in for Bluetooth use. If the turntable is connected to any input other than the Phono input on the receiver the pre-amp selector switch must be placed be in the LINE position. Thanks! - A-T USA
I’ve become a die hard Audio technica fan I got this turntable and absolutely love it I had a lp 60 prior I even have a audio technica Bluetooth headphones Quality !
I could use some help as well. I recently replaced the headshell and cartridge that came with my Audio Technica AT-LP120XBT-USB turntable with an Ortofon Scratch Concorde MKII cartridge but there's a humming that begins very quietly and grows very loud gradually. I've tried adjusting the tone arm thinking that may be causing it but that doesnt help. I believe I may need to ground the tone arm since when I touch it the humming sounds fade away a little. When I put back the original cartridge the player plays like it should without said humming noise. Does any know the exact cause of the humming or how I can mitigate?
Hi July! This sounds like a classic case of acoustic feedback between the cartridge and the speaker(s). Try putting more distance between the turntable and the speakers. Note that this particular model Ortofon cartridge is a high-output design with an uncommonly high output voltage of 10.0 mV. This is more than twice that of the (AT-VM95E) cartridge that was provided. A doubling of cartridge output voltage yields a 6 dB increase in gain so in your case, there is 9 dB more gain when using the Ortofon Scratch compared to the supplied AT-VM95E (10.0 mV for the Scratch versus 4.0 mV for VM95E). A magnetic phono cartridge is basically a miniature microphone and the interaction between a cartridge and a speaker is very much like the interaction between a microphone and a speaker. When used in close proximity to one another a feedback loop can develop - particularly at higher gain levels, higher volume levels, and at lower frequencies. Phono cartridges are transducers, converting mechanical energy (generated by the musical signal modulated in the records groove which cause the stylus to vibrate) into electrical energy. The electrical energy (signal) which it produces is then amplified by the stereo amplifier or receiver, sent out to the speakers (which also vibrate in sympathy with the signal in order to reproduce it) and we hear this signal in the form of music. Similar to the way a microphone functions however, the acoustic sound pressure waves coming off the loudspeaker can also cause the stylus to vibrate. When the “signal” generated by the waves vibrating the stylus is amplified and reproduced by the speaker again, the feedback loop has been developed and the hum generated as a result continues to grow louder and louder with each loop. Thanks! - A-T USA
Could anybody be so kind to explain me, why the dust cover should be removed during vinyl playback? shouldn´t it protect the vinyl playing from dust or any incident nearby?
Hi Carlos! If the turntable is in close proximity to the speakers and if the volume is loud, the dustcover can actually pick up the sound from the speakers and direct it the stylus causing feedback. If neither is the case, you may leave the dust cover in place. Thanks! - A-T USA

Have one of these on the way, wish I'd watched this first!
I plan to run it through the phono input on my Denon amp and will occasionally want to use BT headphones. Will be really irritating to have to toggle a tiny switch on rear of unit to put it in 'Line' mode to use BT. Surely putting this switch somewhere more accessible would have made more sense? Or maybe BT pairing could be enough to 'disable' the Phono output...
Thanks for the excellent setup video, I received this turntable today and absolutely wonderful
i have the 'black' model and i'd like to know in future upgrades to make it semi automatic so that the end of the vinyl stops and lifts [same as the Dual 505]. it would sell more. Why don't they include a 78 cartridge .from Greece
What’s the use of the ruler like adjustment on the right? I’m curious about it 😮
Thank you for this! I was able to set it up perfectly.
How accurate is the cartridge alignment out of the box? I am blind, so aligning the cartridge myself is out of the question. I can get some assistance with setting the tracking force and antiskate, but I know that cartridge alignment is a much more involved and time-consuming process.
Hi Robert! No additional alignment is required when setting up the turntable. The cartridge and headshell are aligned and ready for use out of the box. Thanks! - A-T USA

Hello. Turntable with bluetooth, what is the difference from the version without bluetooth? Thank you!
An excellent mid-range TT. Curious as to why at the end it’s recommended to fully remove the dust cover when spinning records. 🤔
Hi there! If the cover is down, vibrations can get trapped between the cover and the top of the turntable, which will make the turntable more prone to feeding back. Thanks! - A-T USA
@@AudioTechnicaUSA Thanks for the explanation. With my setup (powered speakers, no amp), I don’t have any problems with feedback if the cover is down or tiled up while playing - but if it starts, I’ll know to check this. Love this TT!! I just bought one from my daughter’s birthday (to upgrade her current setup).
I enjoyed your explanation but have a doubt.
Can we connect the phono cables to a ‘’Marshall’’ (Stanmore mark 1 type) speaker which has input for external devices such as an amp but no option to connect a ground cable???
Many thanks in advance.
@@richmck007 You should be able to. You might get a little feedback. I don’t have mine grounded and get a very small amount. If you get an unacceptable amount - search YT for videos on how to mitigate - there are work arounds. Cheers!
The suggested grams for the counterweight and the anti-skate tracking value are so off. I’ve been trying to set this turntable up for quite a while now thinking it was some hardware issue, but after drastically changing the recommended settings, it finally worked a little bit. Since I had to eyeball it, the setup still isn’t where I was expecting or wanting it to be when I purchased it. I’m going to continue to try to fine tune it, but I just wish the recommended settings were at least a little closer. 🤦🏻♂️
Can I pair 2 wireless speakers?
Hi there! As far as the turntable goes, it is only a bluetooth transmitting device, so it is only going to pair to one bluetooth receiving device at a time(bluetooth speaker, bluetooth headphone, or bluetooth receiver adapter). There are bluetooth speakers out there that are sold as a pair (like the Samson MediaOne BT3 or Kanto YU4 for example) so you can pair one device(like the turntable) and have it play in stereo out of both speakers. Thanks! - A-T USA

Do you have to do the readjustment for the tone arm every time you replace the stylus with the same one, or only when changing the cartridge head and stylus with a different type?
Hi there! When replacing the stylus with the same one, it is not necessary to rebalance the tonearm, as the weight of the combined cartridge, stylus, and head shell has not changed. You would want to rebalance the tonearm when the head shell or cartridge has been replaced, since it is highly unlikely that these would weigh the exact same as the previous components. -A-T USA

Hi Samuel! Yes, it should be able to connect. Thanks! - A-T USA
I’m interested in this turntable because I have over forty pounds of 78 records. Will the provided cartridge play them?
The provided stylus is for the playback of 33-1/3 and 45 rpm vinyl records only. To play 78 rpm shellac records you will need a stylus that was specifically designed to do so. The grooves on a 78 rpm shellac record are much wider than the grooves on a 33-1/3 and 45 rpm vinyl record. When you want to play 78 rpm records on the AT-LP120XBT-USB Turntable, you can do so by replacing the provided .03 x .07mil elliptical stylus with our 3.0mil conical stylus, the AT-VMN95SP Stylus.

@@davidpatton7205 Many customers connect our turntables to powered speakers. These are speakers that require power from an electrical outlet or battery to work.

Hi Rob, this is correct. The light does flash red and blue after powering on the unit.

I could use some help as well. I recently replaced the headshell and cartridge that came with my Audio Technica AT-LP120XBT-USB turntable with an Ortofon Scratch Concorde MKII cartridge but there's a humming that begins very quietly and grows very loud gradually. I've tried adjusting the tone arm thinking that may be causing it but that doesnt help. I believe I may need to ground the tone arm since when I touch it the humming sounds fade away a little. When I put back the original cartridge the player plays like it should without said humming noise. Does any know the exact cause of the humming or how I can mitigate?
Hi July! This sounds like a classic case of acoustic feedback between the cartridge and the speaker(s). Try putting more distance between the turntable and the speakers.
Note that this particular model Ortofon cartridge is a high-output design with an uncommonly high output voltage of 10.0 mV. This is more than twice that of the (AT-VM95E) cartridge that was provided. A doubling of cartridge output voltage yields a 6 dB increase in gain so in your case, there is 9 dB more gain when using the Ortofon Scratch compared to the supplied AT-VM95E (10.0 mV for the Scratch versus 4.0 mV for VM95E).
A magnetic phono cartridge is basically a miniature microphone and the interaction between a cartridge and a speaker is very much like the interaction between a microphone and a speaker. When used in close proximity to one another a feedback loop can develop - particularly at higher gain levels, higher volume levels, and at lower frequencies.
Phono cartridges are transducers, converting mechanical energy (generated by the musical signal modulated in the records groove which cause the stylus to vibrate) into electrical energy. The electrical energy (signal) which it produces is then amplified by the stereo amplifier or receiver, sent out to the speakers (which also vibrate in sympathy with the signal in order to reproduce it) and we hear this signal in the form of music. Similar to the way a microphone functions however, the acoustic sound pressure waves coming off the loudspeaker can also cause the stylus to vibrate. When the “signal” generated by the waves vibrating the stylus is amplified and reproduced by the speaker again, the feedback loop has been developed and the hum generated as a result continues to grow louder and louder with each loop.

@@philip6502 You don't know it, because you didn't try it.

Removed the preamp, because when it's switched off, there's still some capacitor in the signal path that adds to the cartridge loading capacitance.
The preamp PCB itself also adds unnecessary capacitance.
Educate yourself on cartridge loading by starting here: www.hagtech.com/loading.html
As for Bluetooth:
Unless it's AptX HD Bluetooth, it's a lossy transmission that'll degrade the sound quality, which is audible with proper speakers that are placed correctly.
