series (which have lighter components, + USB, BT, etc.,)  For comparison this AT-PL120 heavy-duty analog turntable weighs 23.4 pounds and the AT-LP120XBT-USB weighs 17.6 pounds (obviously more portable). The AT-PL120 is a very feature-rich, versatile turntable that is very stable and very resistant to external vibrations.
Great for home systems and/or DJs.
Product Description
Audio-Technica's AT-PL120 direct-drive, high-torque (Starting Torque
>1.6 kgm-cm)
professional turntable is perfect for DJs and playing your favorite vinyl. Since most audio/video receivers, integrated amplifiers, etc. no longer have dedicated phono inputs, a
selectable internal stereo phono preamplifier lets you plug the AT-PL120 turntable directly into any line-level input, including your PC
. Alternately, you can
switch off
the internal preamplifier and use the player's phono output and connect to
an external
preamplifier,  A/V receiver, sound card, etc. or anything that has dedicated Phono Inputs, etc. for enhanced sound quality.
The AT-PL120's S-shaped tone arm assembly comes with an adjustable counterweight, an anti-skate adjustment, a tone-arm height adjustment, and lock, a tone-arm lift with hydraulic action and lift lever, and a tone-arm rest with a locking mechanism to keep the arm stable during transport.
The turntable uses a DC servo motor to maintain accurate rotational speed at either 33-1/3 45, or 78 rpm, governed by a selectable, high-accuracy quartz-controlled pitch lock.
For DJs,
there's the 'table's pitch-adjustment feature, with variations ranging from either +/-10 percent or +/-20 percent. A pop-up stylus target light and stroboscopic platter speed indicator offer visual assistance in queuing and playing your tracks.
Forward and reverse play options.
The table comes with a
cast-aluminum
record platter, a slip mat, and a
professional cartridge and headshell
(model ATP-2
) that plugs directly into the tone arm. Adjustable, anti-vibrational feet keep the platter level.
A start/stop button with remote start/stop input (remote requires cable not included) lets you integrate the player with your more sophisticated DJ tools. The player also includes a 45 rpm adapter with a storage receptacle for the adapter.
Note:
I'm including a  3.5mm Stereo Plug / 2 x RCA Female 12-inch adapter (Y-cable needed for connecting the turntable's internal preamplifier RCA outputs to the stereo mini-jack input found on most computers, soundcards, etc.)
