Audio-Technica AT-LP120XBT-USB Direct-Drive Turntable - Black

Fully manual direct-drive turntable with Bluetooth, USB recording, a switchable phono preamp and AT-VM95E cartridge, giving vinyl systems both traditional analogue connections and modern playback flexibility.

The AT-LP120XBT-USB is a flexible manual turntable for listeners who want hands-on vinyl playback without giving up practical modern connections. It runs at 33, 45 and 78rpm, includes Audio-Technica's AT-VM95E moving-magnet cartridge and can feed a conventional amplifier, powered speakers, a computer or compatible Bluetooth headphones and speakers.

It is a particularly useful step-up turntable for customers who want to learn proper cueing and setup while retaining the convenience of a built-in phono stage and USB output.

Direct-Drive Manual Operation

Fast start-up and proper hands-on control

The DC servo direct-drive motor supports 33, 45 and 78rpm playback. Manual cueing, pitch adjustment and the S-shaped tonearm give the user more control than an automatic entry-level deck.

AT-VM95E Cartridge

A proven cartridge platform with an easy upgrade path

The supplied AT-VM95E moving-magnet cartridge uses Audio-Technica's replaceable VM95 stylus family. That makes future stylus replacement or profile upgrades straightforward without changing the complete cartridge body.

Bluetooth and Built-In Phono Stage

Connect to more systems without extra boxes

Bluetooth 5.0 supports SBC, aptX and aptX Adaptive, while the switchable phono preamp allows connection to either a phono input or a standard line-level input. That flexibility matters when the turntable is moving between traditional hi-fi and more casual wireless listening.

USB Recording

Digitise records directly through a computer

The USB output supports digital transfer at 16-bit/44.1kHz or 48kHz, making it practical for archiving records or creating digital copies with suitable recording software.

The Audio Experts Take

We have the AT-LP120XBT-USB on the floor and it is a useful choice for someone who wants the flexibility of the LP120 platform with wireless listening added. You still get a proper manual turntable and the VM95 stylus upgrade path, while Bluetooth is there for headphones or speakers when convenience matters. We would choose it over the standard LP120XUSB when Bluetooth will genuinely be used; otherwise the wired model keeps the brief simpler.
