Audio-Technica PL120 Turntable
Audio-Technica's AT-PL120 is designed for professional DJs and hi-fi enthusiasts alike. Its high-torque, direct-drive motor provides stable, quartz-controlled platter rotation for 33, 45, and 78rpm discs. The built-in phono preamp allows you to connect the turntable to almost any audio system. If you're interested in archiving, it can also be hooked up to your computer. Audio-Technica includes their high-quality ATP-2XN phono cartridge, which offers great performance right out of the box.
DJs will also appreciate the AT-PL120's impressive list of features. Its pitch-control can be set for two different ranges (±10% or ±20%) for more accurate beat-matching and mixing, and reverse-play promotes heightened creativity. A remote input jack also lets you start or stop playback with a compatible mixer or control unit, and the pop-up target light helps with cueing in low-light settings.
