The AT-LP120XBT-USB is Audio-Technica's direct-drive turntable with three ways out: analog phono or line level, USB for recording to a computer, and Bluetooth for wireless playback. The direct-drive motor brings the platter up to speed fast and holds pitch, and the damped base with a die-cast aluminum platter keeps resonance down. It ships with the AT-VM95E cartridge on an AT-HS6 headshell, and any VM95 stylus fits as an upgrade. It suits people who want one deck for vinyl, digitizing and wireless speakers; belt-drive rivals at the same level usually skip Bluetooth and USB.

The Audio-Technica AT-LP120XBT-USB-BK is a fully manual, direct-drive turntable with Bluetooth output. The platter connects directly to the motor, so there is no belt. It plays 33, 45 and 78 rpm records, selected with a button, and pitch can be adjusted by +/-8% or +/-16%.
It comes with an AT-VM95E cartridge pre-mounted on an AT-HS6 headshell. The cartridge can be upgraded with any VM95 stylus. The S-shaped tonearm has counterweight, anti-skate and VTA/height adjustment. The die-cast aluminum platter and damped base reduce resonance and noise.
A built-in phono preamp can be switched on or off, for phono or line-level output. Outputs are Bluetooth, analog RCA and USB, and USB connects to a computer for digital recording with included software. The cables are removable, and a removable hinged dust cover is included. A control switch under the platter sets dual voltage.
