The AT-LP120XUSB is a fully manual direct-drive turntable built for DJ-style control and for digitizing records. A DC servo motor, die-cast aluminum platter and S-shaped tonearm with hydraulic lift give it a sturdier, more adjustable feel than belt-drive starter decks. The built-in switchable phono preamp and USB output let it plug into a hi-fi system or a computer without extra gear. It ships with an AT-VM95E cartridge, and the VM95 stylus family lets owners upgrade the needle later. It suits people who want one deck for listening, ripping vinyl and light mixing, and it competes with other direct-drive USB decks on torque, pitch control and included cartridge rather than on automation.

Owners treat the AT-LP120XUSB as a solid step up from entry belt-drive decks, praising its stable speed, quiet direct drive and easy USB ripping. Many like the included AT-VM95E cartridge and the option to swap styli. Criticism centers on the manual operation and the need to set up the tonearm and anti-skate carefully.
The Audio-Technica AT-LP120XUSB is a fully manual, direct-drive turntable with both analog and USB output. It updates the AT-LP120-USB with a new DC servo direct-drive motor, adjustable dynamic anti-skate control and a selectable phono preamplifier. It plays 33-1/3, 45 and 78 RPM records.
The platter is an anti-resonance, die-cast aluminum design with a felt mat. The balanced S-shaped tonearm has hydraulically damped lift control and a lockable rest. The base is damped to reduce low-frequency feedback coloration, and the AC adapter does the AC/DC conversion outside the chassis to reduce noise in the signal chain.
The USB output connects directly to a computer. With the free, Mac- and PC-compatible Audacity recording software, or software of your choice, you can convert records to digital audio files. A removable plug-type target light helps with cueing in low light.
