An evolution of the critically acclaimed AT-LP120-USB, the AT-LP120XUSB features a new DC servo direct-drive motor, adjustable dynamic anti-skate control, and a selectable phono preamplifier — delivering professional-grade vinyl performance in a refined, contemporary package.
The anti-resonance die-cast aluminium platter, damped base construction, and external AC adapter work together to minimise noise and low-frequency feedback. The balanced S-shaped tonearm comes fitted with the AT-HS6 headshell and AT-VM95E Dual Moving Magnet cartridge with 0.3 × 0.7 mil elliptical stylus — compatible with all VM95 Series replacement styli.

Speakers
- Speaker terminals are marked red and black, ensure your amplifier to the speakers are wired on the same colours
- Ensure no loose speaker wire from the red touches a loose wire from the black as this will lead to a short circuit and damage either the speaker, the amplifier or both.
- Not all speakers are designed to play at max volume, kindly consider the pairing of your amplifier and speakers
- Speaker cabinets cannot be replaced please handle with care.
AV & Stereo Amplifiers
- If your amplifier has HDMI ports, ensure all devices are off before plugging in the HDMI cable
- Turn off the amplifier before swoping out or adding speaker cable
- Amplifiers generate heat, place them in a well ventilated space. if possible avoid having anything on top of the unit.
- adding a surge protector can assist with power dips which are likely to damage your devices. Isotek and Furman are industry standard.
- Dusty environments can sometimes lead to accumulation of dust in the electronic components that might affect heat regulation
