Audio-Technica AT-LP120XUSB (2019)

The AT-LP120XUSB is a direct-drive 3-speed turntable with a switchable built-in phono preamp and a USB output for digitising vinyl. On the back you'll find a detachable stereo RCA output cable plus a ground post for the phono earth wire — the PHONO/LINE switch decides whether those RCAs carry raw phono or RIAA-corrected line-level. The full-size USB Type-B jack runs at USB 1.1 speed and handles 16-bit/44.1 or 48 kHz capture. Power is an external 12V DC barrel supply, not an IEC cord, so the turntable itself has no mains inlet.

Direct-drive 3-speed turntable with switchable phono preamp, stereo RCA output, ground terminal, and USB digitising.

Notes & Compatibility

PHONO/LINE switch reroutes the single RCA output pair between raw phono (4 mV) and line level (240 mV, RIAA corrected). USB is USB 1.1 speed over a full-size USB Type-B physical connector. Ground screw terminal for turntable earth wire is adjacent to the RCA output — not in the approved connector list; flagged for manual review. External 12V DC barrel power supply is omitted (not in approved connector list, flagged for manual review).
