Music Hall’s inexpensive USB turntable, the two-speed, belt-driven USB-1 ($249), uses an aluminum die-cast platter, has a groovy S-shaped tonearm equipped with an Audio-Technica AT3600L moving-magnet phono cartridge, and comes in a high-gloss black finish. Overall, it resembles something Run DMC might’ve brought to a gig.
“You can scratch with it,” according to Music Hall’s Leland Leard.
It has a USB output for transferring vinyl to a PC or Mac, comes with Audacity software, and throws in a USB cable. Basically, in the Music Hall USB-1, you’ve got everything you need to
play and digitize records. DJ Sam Tellig has one now.
