TTL Setup: Audio-Technica AT-LP120X / Kanto Speakers


Congratulations on your new TTL Setup! Here are detailed instructions on how to completely set up your Audio-Technica AT-LP120X turntable and Kanto speakers, plus some tweaks for optimizing the setup.

1.0 SET UP KANTO SPEAKERS

1.1

Unpack your Kanto speakers and locate the accessories and cables as shown. The clear speaker wire will be used to connect the (2) speakers together.

1.2

Position your speakers. NOTE: Position the powered unit on the left.  

1.3

Plug in your speakers and connect them together using the speaker wire.

IMPORTANT: make sure the RCA switch is set to "LINE" (this deactivates the speakers' Phono Preamp, we'll use the turntable's preamp instead).

2.0 SET UP YOUR AT-LP120X TURNTABLE

Please refer to this quick video to get your AT-LP120X turntable set up. 

2.1 CONNECT YOUR TURNTABLE TO THE SPEAKER

Now connect your turntable to the speaker using the RCA cable and groundwire (GND) to the ports highlighted below. 

3.0 POWER UP + PLAY

  • Turn on the power switch on the back of the speaker.
  • Put on a record.
  • Hit the start button on the turntable.

3.1

Press the volume knob to cycle through the inputs until hear your turntable (you can also press the "RCA" button on the remote). MUSICA!

    4.0 UPGRADES (SOLD SEPARATELY)

    Consider our AT-LP120X Turntable Upgrade Kit which includes the AT618a Disc Stabilizer (which improves sound quality by reducing vibrations) and the AT-VMN95EN nude diamond stylus (which is easily installed and provides clearer sound accuracy than the stock stylus). 

      4.1

      Kanto Speaker Stands displace speaker vibrations from your turntable and look great. They are available in table-top and floorstanding models.

      4.2

      Turntable Lab: Triple Operation Brush ($25) - The Carbon Fiber brush that your setup is great for everyday usage (we use one in our office). However, our new Triple Operation brush is on another level in terms of effectiveness with dual cleaning pads plus an integrated carbon fiber brush.
