Audio-Technica AT-LP60X-USB

Japanese manufacturer Audio-Technica has been producing high quality audio equipment for over 55 years. The AT-LP60X-USB turntable is a compact and functional model priced at about $240.

Minimalism rules

The device has compact dimensions of 360x370x98 mm and weighs very little — 2.6 kg, although the base and platter are made of aluminium. There is nothing superfluous and bulky in the design of the model — everything is minimal, strict, but stylish, in discreet colours: black, brown, aluminium or red. There is a removable transparent cover that protects from dust. The disc diameter of 295 mm ensures a reliable position of a record of any size and degree of rigidity.

Everything for good sound

The player does not have a built-in speaker system, so it must be connected to external speakers via an RCA cable. A switchable phono stage allows you to connect to active speakers or an external phono stage. Adjustable counterweight allows you to adjust the pressure force of the needle on the record, which prolongs the life of both the needle itself and the vinyl grooves. Your favorite track can be converted to digital format by connecting to a computer or laptop via the USB B connector.

The AT-LP60X-USB plays 33rpm and 45rpm records, so records that are too old (pre-60s) will have to be put aside. For all others, a felt mat, 45 rpm adapter, RCA audio cable, USB cable are included.

Audio-Technica AT-LP60X-USB is a reliable device for those who discover the world of vinyl or want to have their vintage record collection "in digital".
