Editorial Review: Product Description: Whether you play them in your personal crib, a warehouse rave, or the town's hottest club, your collection of black platters deserves the finesse and precision playback you can best administer with the ATPL120 Pro DJ Turntable. The ATPL120 has a built-in pre-amp. This means you can also connect this turntable to a home audio receiver component (or mini-stereo) that has an auxiliary audio input port. Features include: Built-in phono preamp Start / Stop button Pitch control Anti-skate adjustment Forward and reverse play Counterweight adjustment and stylus target light Strobe indicators Includes slip mat, A-T cartridge, headshell and hinged dust cover Amazon.com Product Description: Audio-Technica's AT-PL120 direct-drive, high-torque professional turntable is perfect for DJs and other music enthusiasts, especially in an era that many would call 'postvinyl,' when it's no longer the norm for audio/video receivers or even integrated amplifiers to offer a dedicated phono input. A selectable internal stereo phono preamplifier lets you plug the turntable directly into any line-level input, even your PC's (when used with a stereo RCA to minijack 'Y' adapter cable, not included). Alternately, you can use the player's phono output and an outboard, higher-quality phono preamplifier for even better sound quality. The AT-PL120's S-shaped tone arm assembly comes with an adjustable counterweight, an antiskate adjustment, a tone-arm height adjustment and lock, a tone-arm lift with hydraulic action and lift lever, and a tone-arm rest with a locking mechanism to keep the arm stable during transport. The turntable uses a DC servo motor to maintain accurate rotational speed at either 33-1/3 45, or 78 rpm, governed by a selectable, high-accuracy quartz-controlled pitch lock--all of which gives new life to 7- and 12-inch singles you may not have played for years. Unleash your inner DJ with the 'table's pitch-adjustment feature, with variations ranging from either +/-10 percent or +/-20 percent. A pop-up stylus target light and stroboscopic platter speed indicator offer visual assistance in queuing and playing your favorite tunes. Forward and reverse play options unlock countless creative doors (and haven't you always wondered what Prince is saying at the end of 'Darling Nikki'?). The 'table comes with a cast-aluminum record platter, a slip mat, and a professional cartridge and headshell (model ATP-2) that plugs directly into the tone arm. Adjustable, antivibrational feet keep the platter level, regardless of your environs. A start/stop button with remote start/stop input lets you integrate the player with your more sophisticated DJ tools. The player also includes a 45 rpm adapter with storage receptacle for the adapter and for a surplus or replacement headshell (sold separately). What's in the Box Turntable, removable hinged dust cover, slip mat, headshell/cartridge (ATP-2), AC power cord, 45 rpm adapter, and a user's manual. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - wonderfulBought this as a gift for family member. He loved this item. My observations: Beautiful to look at. Beautiful to listen to--great sound. Perfect response time. Quality made item. And the retailer who shipped this to me was very fast. Rating: - Makes a great Christmas PresentI got this for my brother. His wife said he wanted to start recording his old records on CDs. After extensive online research, this seemed to be the best solution for the money. Unlike the USB version, this can be used with a stereo system when not recording CDs. So far he has used this on his stereo component system and proclaimed it quite good. He downloaded a different software package for recording, but I haven't heard anything about recording to CDs. PROs: It's all there ... Read More Rating:  - Great entry level turntable for listening to recordsGreat turntable for someone with picky ears who wants to listen to vinyl at home. I thought about getting a cheaper turtable but I'm glad I went with this Audio-Techinca instead. It has some nice "DJ" features that might be useful for some folks, but I bet this would not be a good choice of turntable for a serious DJ who scratches records and all that. It does sound incredible through my basic home theater setup (receiver with powered sub and two tower speakers). I listen to mostly mint or near mint ... Read More Rating: - Well worth the extra moneyGot this for Christmas and have used it with Cakewalk Pyro to rip 7 albums so far. The quality of the sound is fantastic using the supplied cartrdige. No hiss at all compared to what other reviews have said about USB belt-drive turntables. Has all the features I need and will even play 78s (using a different cartridge). The pitch is dead on with NO variation at all unlike low cost belt drive turntables. It does lack an auto-return function but frankly that is no big deal to me. Rating: - Audio-Technica AT-PL120 Professional Direct-Drive TurntableAfter having owned my Audio-Technica AT-PL120 Professional Direct-Drive Turntable for approximately one year, I am pleased thus far. I play quite a bit of vinyl and have yet to have mechanical problems. Like some, my box also arrived with minor damage, however, the player was well packed and undamaged. For the price, this is great turntable. |
