Audio Technica at-Lp60 Turntable

Product Information

Line: means it's the output of the turntable's internal phono preamp, and hence a line level signal that can be plugged in directly to a line level input.

The little motor is essentially identical to the motor found in the Crosley suitcase type turntables and variants of the same.You are going to need audacity or some other software that allows you to output the sound through the USB Audio driver. or 48kHz WAVs by connecting your PC or laptop to the turntable’s USB type B output, then using the supplied Audacity software to process them. I think the simplest way to use your record player is to hook up a pair of powered speakers or computer speakers. I bought this recently and set it up to my Pioneer receiver under phone with a 12 ft extension cable but I’m getting a very noticeable humming. They mention that it works amazingly, has deep controlled bass lines and is crystal clear across the whole frequency range.

The malfunctioning buttons can be fixed by opening the unit from the bottom to realign the metal rods.Using the stereo mini jack cable / dual RCA provided, you can connect your turntable on the amplified speakers that feature a mini-jack input, or directly on the mini-jack input for your computer. Super helpful review – I’m choosing between this turntable and the new AT LP60 BT – which comes with Bluetooth, and I was leaning toward the USB turntable because my family has some rare records I’d like to digitize. The base of the motor, which is pressed into the motor casing, had separated with the internals of the motor found rattling around in the base of the turntable. We’ll be explaining how the internal preamp works, how and when to bypass the preamp and show you different setup options based on your particular situation or budget to get the best listening experience possible.

Aftermarket styli may well be cheaper, but they’re not all equivalent in quality to the AT original. While overall I am pleased with the AT LP-60BK (purchased January 2016), mine is not “fully automatic”.Most complains come from people that found the recording process time consuming and the software difficult to use. With the motor reassembled I fixed the sticking stop button, calibrated the speed for both 33 and 45. A relative found some very thin old 8″ 78 rpm records from 1954 – some ancestral family hobbyist had got some of his reel-to-reel material pressed “for posterity”, little knowing that 78s were about to go the way of the dodo. If you already have an amplifier with a ‘phono’ input, you can get a lot more for your money with a second-hand deck like an SL-QD33, SL-DD33, SL-B210, SL-Q210 etc from Technics.
