Music Hall usb-1 turntables
We have restocked the Music Hall usb-1 turntable, and just in time for X-mas! These belt-driven turntables have been hugely popular, as one of the Music Halls greatest selling points is its ability to connect, via USB, to a Mac or PC, allowing you to digitize your vinyl. It comes with an Audio Technica cartridge and caters for both 33 1/3 and 45 rpm speeds.
