AT-LP120XBT-USB Setup | Direct-Drive Turntable (Analog, Wireless & USB)

This tutorial will guide you through the setup process for the Audio-Technica AT-LP120XBT-USB Direct-Drive Turntable (Analog, Wireless & USB).
The AT-LP120XBT-USB turntable is modeled after the AT-LP120XUSB, but with the added convenience of Bluetooth® wireless connectivity along with the existing analog and USB outputs, allowing users to connect to wireless speakers and headphones, as well as computers, home stereos, and more. This turntable includes a DC servo direct-drive motor, as well as an adjustable dynamic anti-skate control and switchable phono preamplifier. The fully manual turntable plays 33-1/3, 45, and 78 RPM records and features an S-shaped tonearm with adjustable tracking force and an AT-HS6 universal ½"-mount headshell with an AT-VM95E Dual Magnet™ phono cartridge.

Having purchased the AT LP120XBTUSB I can find no faults with this turntable it works like a dream having been using vinyl for close on to 55years now I can honestly recommend it

[@maniaque37]

the lp 60 is automatic and you can just press start and the vinyl starts automatically and the arm will return by itself when its finished. lp 120 dont have this feature. this is a killer for me. i dont like the lp 120 because of this. i prefer not having to be worried about placing my stylus at the good spot and having to make sure i go remove it fast when the vinyl has ended to not damage anything. also , the lp 60 has a belt and it is known that the belt is better than a direct drive because the direct drive can sometimes bring noise which the belt dont do. a belt is also easier to replace that a motor i guess. the lp 120 stylus does cost more than the lp 60 stylus and the turntable also.

[@armandotrujillo4166]

Well I would say the 120 is more expensive for a reason. The tone arm is adjustable to every difference heads you can place, which is something more professional I would say, and I can tell you, definitely the direct drive would cause less noise than the motor and the band, it has more parts in the assembly, the LP 60 has a motor too, so both has motor but one has also band, pulleys etc, more complex and possibility to cause noise. If it plays automatically the when you want to move the tone arm manually, you may damage the mechanism. The LP 120 has a mechanism that allows you to place the stylus on the record smoothly, and take it out same way. If you don’t realize when the record finishes, at least my records have athe end like a groove loop to avoid the stylus go any further. I would say LP60 is good for people that would just like to take it easy and listen the music from vinyl. The LP120, is more for people that are more into the “play vinyl art” if you will. For those that would like to be more “professional” in the subject.

[@maniaque37]

@@armandotrujillo4166 hey i respect your opinion but i dont think its about being professional to choose having a 120 model over the 60. if you want to use a turntable professionally , i dont think u will get any of those really. on the lp 60 you do not need to change the cartridge model and its fine using the one provided with the lp 60. you only have to change the stylus when it gets old thats all. personally i got a turntable to listen to music and the fun of having vinyls and i prefer not having the trouble of use it manually. its very cool just push a button and the turntable starts and then stops automatically. i have the 60 model and honestly i dont hear any sound other than the music. no motor sound or anything. i use a 200 dollars soundbar and im pretty sure having a 120 would not change anything in the sound. thats a personal choice which model you want. i prefer save money and have an automatic turntable and i think the 60 model is awesome. its already something to change the vinyl sides and even push the button each half hour or so to start the music again. also having to mantain vinyls like clean them and store them. some prefer play mp3 or cd which are even less trouble. if you really want to be professional and start work as a dj or something , then u better look for a 2000-3000$ turntable. :)

[@armandotrujillo4166]

Yeah I mean, obviously a professional would not use any of these models, that’s why I used (“”) for the word “professional”. I would say the 60 is way more easy to set up and play your records. I agree with you that you don’t hear other noise than the music, my point is mechanically, out of the 2 systems, the one with the band would make more noise first, that doesn’t mean that necessarily the LP60 is making noise. I think there are models for all tastes. Me, I am more hands on guy, and I just find amazing to set up my turntable, I really enjoy it, besides listen to the music. The LP 120 also is heavier which would bring more stability. But hey, both systems are ok. I am 42 years old and I am getting new records, and re discovering the old records of my late father, so I’m dealing with new and more than 50 year old records. I found this equipment amazing and I feel comfortable to handle it. Also I got my 14 year old son interested and he’s crazy about it, playing the records of his late granddad, which he didn’t met (my dad died 35 years ago). Enjoy your turntable as we are!!!

[@maniaque37]

@@armandotrujillo4166 yes question of choice but for the noise i read somewhere that actually the mechanical do more noise because of the motor. decoupling motor from platter eliminates a source of potential noise. i also use old records and i guess this will damage the stylus faster. i would not want to use some stylus that cost tons money. thats another reason why i like the lp60 because the stylus is not a huge price.

Thanks for the outstanding setup video. I was really struggling with the setup and distortion. I thought that I was not getting the counterbalance correct, or had somehow damaged the stylus. After the video helped me confirm that the counterbalance setup was correct, I found the ultimate problem. The "Line" vs "Phone" setting. Once I set it to "Phono" the distortion immediately ceased. This is a great turntable. Thank you Audio-Technica.

[@cheddix_]

The little black disc is basically an adapter that you place over the metal center piece in the middle of the platter. This allows you to play 45 RPM records.

[@JeremyL796]

The suggested grams for the counterweight and the anti-skate tracking value are so off. I’ve been trying to set this turntable up for quite a while now thinking it was some hardware issue, but after drastically changing the recommended settings, it finally worked a little bit. Since I had to eyeball it, the setup still isn’t where I was expecting or wanting it to be when I purchased it. I’m going to continue to try to fine tune it, but I just wish the recommended settings were at least a little closer. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@rogerturner1881]

i have the 'black' model and i'd like to know in future upgrades to make it semi automatic so that the end of the vinyl stops and lifts [same as the Dual 505]. it would sell more. Why don't they include a 78 cartridge .from Greece

[@jackofalltradesmercury207]

It's a good turntable for playing records. Except you can't set the tone are on 2 grams... that's way to light... i have to set mine on 3 grams. And the anti skate don't work like it should. I have to set mine between 1 and 2 grams. To be correct..... i wish the turntables were made in Japan.........

[@edwardalexander2193]

Do you have to do the readjustment for the tone arm every time you replace the stylus with the same one, or only when changing the cartridge head and stylus with a different type?

[@AudioTechnicaUSA]

Hi there! When replacing the stylus with the same one, it is not necessary to rebalance the tonearm, as the weight of the combined cartridge, stylus, and head shell has not changed. You would want to rebalance the tonearm when the head shell or cartridge has been replaced, since it is highly unlikely that these would weigh the exact same as the previous components. -A-T USA

Can I sync this with a soundbar?

[@Chiroman527]

Can the TT be used in 2 modes , separately. Connect to a Receiver (Denon DHA-800H) via the Phone connection to the Receiver which uses the Receiver's Phone Preamp built in AND also connect to BT speakers . I see that you cannot use BT while playing on the Receiver, but if the Receiver is turned off , can I simply switch the rear switch on the TT to Line without the need to disconnect from the Receiver?

[@AudioTechnicaUSA]

Hi Aldo! If the turntable is connected to the Phono input on the receiver the pre-amp selector switch on the turntable must be placed in the Phono position. It does not matter which position the switch is in for Bluetooth use. If the turntable is connected to any input other than the Phono input on the receiver the pre-amp selector switch must be placed be in the LINE position. Thanks! - A-T USA

In this photo that light is blue. Is my model faulty? Thank you

[@AudioTechnicaUSA]

Hi Rob, this is correct. The light does flash red and blue after powering on the unit. If another Bluetooth device is not paired to the turntable during this time, the Bluetooth function times out after about 1 minute and the light turns solid red. The light is solid blue when the turntable has paired to another Bluetooth device. Your turntable is not faulty. Thanks! - A-T USA

[@July8th]

I could use some help as well. I recently replaced the headshell and cartridge that came with my Audio Technica AT-LP120XBT-USB turntable with an Ortofon Scratch Concorde MKII cartridge but there's a humming that begins very quietly and grows very loud gradually. I've tried adjusting the tone arm thinking that may be causing it but that doesnt help. I believe I may need to ground the tone arm since when I touch it the humming sounds fade away a little. When I put back the original cartridge the player plays like it should without said humming noise. Does any know the exact cause of the humming or how I can mitigate?

[@AudioTechnicaUSA]

Hi July! This sounds like a classic case of acoustic feedback between the cartridge and the speaker(s). Try putting more distance between the turntable and the speakers. Note that this particular model Ortofon cartridge is a high-output design with an uncommonly high output voltage of 10.0 mV. This is more than twice that of the (AT-VM95E) cartridge that was provided. A doubling of cartridge output voltage yields a 6 dB increase in gain so in your case, there is 9 dB more gain when using the Ortofon Scratch compared to the supplied AT-VM95E (10.0 mV for the Scratch versus 4.0 mV for VM95E). A magnetic phono cartridge is basically a miniature microphone and the interaction between a cartridge and a speaker is very much like the interaction between a microphone and a speaker. When used in close proximity to one another a feedback loop can develop - particularly at higher gain levels, higher volume levels, and at lower frequencies. Phono cartridges are transducers, converting mechanical energy (generated by the musical signal modulated in the records groove which cause the stylus to vibrate) into electrical energy. The electrical energy (signal) which it produces is then amplified by the stereo amplifier or receiver, sent out to the speakers (which also vibrate in sympathy with the signal in order to reproduce it) and we hear this signal in the form of music. Similar to the way a microphone functions however, the acoustic sound pressure waves coming off the loudspeaker can also cause the stylus to vibrate. When the “signal” generated by the waves vibrating the stylus is amplified and reproduced by the speaker again, the feedback loop has been developed and the hum generated as a result continues to grow louder and louder with each loop. Thanks! - A-T USA

The Bluetooth connection on my turntable randomly stopped pairing to my sound bar. Only had it for about a month.

i'm having a really strange problem that i can't find an answer to. when connected over bluetooth with factory tonearm settings, i put on one of my mom's old records from the '60s that's been stored in a hot garage for decades... it sounds marvelous. then i tested three different records of mine that were pressed in recent years, stored indoors and never before played, and the bluetooth sound quality is complete ass for all of them - lots of heavy artifacts, distortions, popping, clicking, everything. unlistenable. all of these are standard 33rpm 12" records. is there some kind of setting that optimizes playback for older records rather than for ones pressed in the '00s and '10s? i can't get to the bottom of this and feel like i'm taking crazy pills.

how i reset it ? :/

[@edenglish2323]

Can I connect this to a Chromebook? It doesn't seem to work.

[@AudioTechnicaUSA]

Hi Ed! When connecting the AT-LP120XBT-USB to a Chromebook, you will want to make sure you are connecting the turntable directly to the laptop and are NOT using a USB hub. The turntable should show up similarly to a USB microphone.

I can't get my headphone to pair.

[@superradness]

How do I get it to NOT connect to a Bluetooth speaker? It wants to pair with a device every time I turn it on.

[@AudioTechnicaUSA]

Hi there! The Bluetooth on the AT-LP120XBT-USB cannot be disabled. If the turntable does not find a device to pair to after a short period, it will time out and the LED will go solid red. Thanks! - A-T USA

[@superradness]

@@AudioTechnicaUSA Is there a way to disconnect a speaker? It always goes to the tv speakers in the living room, when I want it to connect to the speakers in my bedroom. I’ve tried connecting my speakers in my bedroom, but it always goes to the living room speakers.

[@AudioTechnicaUSA]

@@superradness To disconnect the turntable from its current speakers, press and hold the Bluetooth button to put the turntable in pairing mode. This will allow the turntable to pair with new speakers. If your turntable continues to pair with the speakers in your living room, you will have to turn off those speakers in order for the turntable to pair with your bedroom speakers. Thanks! - A-T USA

[@dog514]

I just got this turntable and thought it was able to receive a Bluetooth input, so I could connect my phone and play music through it. Is that possible, or is Bluetooth only for sound output?

[@JensVanDeAarde]

why would you play music from a phone trough a damn turntable

[@AudioTechnicaUSA]

Hi there! The AT-LP120XBT-USB has an internal Bluetooth transmitter which may send the signal to compatible Bluetooth receivers such as in headphones and speakers. The turntable does not have a Bluetooth receiver to accept signals. Thanks! - A-T USA

did they fix anti skate issues?

Must have, mine is good.

[@jackofalltradesmercury207]

Yes but it's not correct on the dial.. You will have to buy a blank record off ebay and set the anti skate up....

[@QoraxAudio]

Yep, you need to remove the preamp, USB and Bluetooth stuff to turn it into a very good entry-level turntable.

[@philip6502]

WRONG! Bad advice.

[@QoraxAudio]

@@philip6502 Nah, you're wrong - that's why you can't substantiate your claim.

[@philip6502]

@@QoraxAudio I don't need to "substantiate" anything, I own the turntable and use it. You, on the other hand, seem to be making your claim using old facts. Not to mention, if some wants an entry-level turntable, the wouldn't buy a turntable and remove parts to reach their goal. That's absurd.

[@QoraxAudio]

@@philip6502 You don't know it, because you didn't try it. I actually did. Removed the preamp, because when it's switched off, there's still some capacitor in the signal path that adds to the cartridge loading capacitance. The preamp PCB itself also adds unnecessary capacitance. Educate yourself on cartridge loading by starting here: www.hagtech.com/loading.html As for Bluetooth: Unless it's AptX HD Bluetooth, it's a lossy transmission that'll degrade the sound quality, which is audible with proper speakers that are placed correctly.

[@philip6502]

@@QoraxAudio The Bluetooth aspect of the TT is an afterthought for me... it's there if I ever want it. What I wonder, after reading your reply, is why did you choose this TT of all on the market? My reason in choosing this is I thought it would satisfy my needs; if not, it was returnable. Also, I'm more interested in the music I like than tinkering with the equipment. I've done enough of that. Enjoy whatever you're using now.

Hi there! The AT-LP120XBT-USB connects wirelessly to speakers and other devices equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology, to wired audio systems and powered speakers via included dual RCA output cable, or to computers via included USB cable. Thanks! - A-T USA
