AT-LP60XUSB Setup | Fully Automatic Belt-Drive Turntable (Analog & USB)

This tutorial will guide you through the setup process for the Audio-Technica AT-LP60XUSB Fully Automatic Belt-Drive Turntable (Analog & USB).
The AT-LP60XUSB, a redesign of the AT-LP60-USB turntable, features an improved tonearm base and headshell to improve tracking and reduce resonance. The AT-LP60XUSB allows users to listen to their 33-1/3 and 45 RPM records and is equipped with a USB output to easily connect to a computer. The turntable is also equipped with a detachable RCA output cable (3.5 mm male to dual RCA male) and a built-in switchable phono preamp to easily connect to a stereo or speakers.

Thank you! Instructions that come with the turntable need looking at ...

[@TheGrenadier97]

Good information, guess i'll get that to my uncle here in Brazil. He has a mad lot of speakers so they may fit his taste.

[@kenny75photography2]

Great video, thank you! :-)

[@royspics]

I bought one of these recently but it would not power on. The suppled instructions were far too small to read & the supplier could not suggest anything. They have now replaced it but I’m glad I found this before attempting again. I don’t know how important the instruction to rotate the turntable several times to prepare the auto is but I definitely wouldn’t have known to do it otherwise. I also wasn’t sure whether to set the switch to ‘phono’ or ‘line’ but this video gave me what I needed

[@KevinHallSurfing]

As an engineer I would have had no idea either why you would have to rotate the platter 10X other than "zero" the autoload mechanism. Should be automatic regardless of position or at least has been that way since I began working on them in the 60's.

Hi, do you recommend if i want to bought this turntable?i mean did you get a lots of problems from buyer on this model?

[@theprson206]

When I pulled off the plastic piece from the stylus, the brighter colored portion that holds the needle came off too. When I put it back on it only stays for a second and then falls back off. Is this something I can fix myself or do I need to get the whole thing replaced?

[@AudioTechnicaUSA]

Hi there! First, please ensure the stylus is properly seated back in the cartridge. You can follow the steps here: www.audio-technica.com/en-us/support/audio-solutions-question-of-the-week-how-do-i-change-the-atn3600l-stylus-on-the-at-lp60x-line-of-turntables/. If this does not address the issue, please contact our parts department at [e-mail] for a replacement. Thanks! - A-T USA

[@martinitime1975]

A family member just bought one, and along side the no sound issue (head phones work so it could be cable or bluetooth issue) it skips to track 4 or so. Pretty sure it's level, so is there a weight issue with the tone arm?

I have this one, i got it plugged in my imac with usb, i got the input and output right, my imac can hear the music but it just wont come out of the imac speakers. Can you help me?

[@juliaknitter1650]

Hello. Will only simple speakers work? Or do I need to buy more stuff to use it?

[@AudioTechnicaUSA]

Hi Julia! You may connect the turntable to a stereo receiver or connect directly to powered speakers. Powered speakers indicate the speakers have their own internal power amplifier to drive them. There are many options ranging in price and features and you may do an internet search for options or go to your local electronics store for options. Thanks! - A-T USA

So I'm wondering can I get my turntable to play through my audio Interface or do I need a intermediary...I have an audio interfaxe with rca ins but I don't here any sound through the speakers connected to my auido Interface.....another question I have is why did I get a USB cable but no USB port

[@AudioTechnicaUSA]

Hi there! You may connect the turntable to the RCA inputs on your audio interface if you are able to direct monitor those inputs. This would allow you to hear the audio or monitor the audio while the turntable is playing. Make certain to engage the turntable’s RIAA phono preamp by putting the switch on the rear of the turntable to LINE. If you have further questions or issues, please contact the Audio Solutions Department at [e-mail]. Thanks! - A-T USA

[@analisicic387]

Is this turntable just used to transfer music to the iMac or can the music be played over the speakers, if it can, over which and are the speakers the only equipment I need to play the music out loud?

[@AudioTechnicaUSA]

Hi there! The turntable will connect to USB input on the Mac. You must have software such as Audacity loaded and running to hear music on the Mac and it’s attached or internal speakers. Thanks! - A-T USA

How to ground this turntable to my Audiolab amplifier when using the phono option?

[@SpideyStudios22]

I was looking at getting a speaker which I can plug into the record player but not sure which ones would be compatible? Not looking for anything to expensive so if you have any suggestions it would be much appreciated!

[@AudioTechnicaUSA]

Hi there! We recommend getting a set of speakers that can be positioned a few feet apart. Unfortunately, we do not currently sell speaker sets, but we suggest checking out brands such as: Edifier, Audioengine, Kanto, Klipsch, Mackie and PreSonus. Thanks! - A-T USA

[@maxphilmd]

Is this the same as the regular model? but it will allow me to connect to a computer

[@AudioTechnicaUSA]

Hi Maxwell! The only difference between the AT-LP60XUSB and the AT-LP60X is the USB connection to the computer. Thanks! - A-T USA

would i be able to connect headphones directly into the turntable?

Is it posible to listen the music using USB while is recording? I've been trying with no solutions.

[@AudioTechnicaUSA]

It is, and the way this is accomplished depends on which type of computer you have, Windows or Mac, which Operating System is on the computer and which, if any, recording software is being used.

Do I need usb speakers or will 3.5mm ones work?

[@AudioTechnicaUSA]

Hi there! The USB is only for connecting to a computer. You would need to use 3.5mm or RCA AUX inputs on powered speakers (or stereo amplifier and passive speakers). When setting up your speakers, make sure the switch on the back of the turntable is set to LINE. Thanks! - A-T USA

Can this connect to edifier r12u speaker

[@AudioTechnicaUSA]

Hi Roh! It appears the listed speakers are powered via USB. As long as you power the speakers via the USB connection (not through the turntable), you may use the speaker’s analog 3.5mm connection to connect to the turntable. (Note, the preamp switch on the rear of the turntable should be set to LINE.) Thanks! A-T USA

is this compatible for LOGITECH Z313 2.1 Speaker System with Subwoofer, PC speakers?

I have the audio technica Lp60x (Bob usb )connected to a pair of active speakers it is set up properly .The speakers don’t work there is one key component not working !THERE IS NO SOUND ! I have tried flipping the switch to phono and line in .Still no sound !

[@nightisright1873]

I would like a logical non BS answer

[@AudioTechnicaUSA]

@@nightisright1873 Hi there, please see below for options to help troubleshoot. If the turntable shows a SOLID BLUE LIGHT, the turntable is paired to the speaker. Often, Bluetooth speakers have a multi-function button used to play/pause music or pickup and hang-up phone calls. Try pressing that button on the speaker (this will sometimes mute the music playing through the speaker). You may confirm this function with your speaker manufacturer. For troubleshooting purposes, with the preamp switch in the LINE position, plug a set of headphones directly into the turntable. While the level will be lower, you will be able to hear the signal from the turntable and if you can hear in both sides, we know the turntable is in working order and the issue is elsewhere in your signal chain. If you do not hear any audio through the headphones, you may remove and reinstall the stylus to make certain the stylus is properly seated in the cartridge.
