Soundmaster PL920 – turntable music system
The Soundmaster EliteLine PL920 is a masterful symbiosis of audiophile tradition and modern connectivity. A striking technical highlight is the two integrated, illuminated VU meters on the front of the unit: As a stylish reminder of the golden age of hi-fi technology, they visualize the dynamics of your music and give the substantial chassis an authentic retro feel.
The PL920 delivers the highest precision. Audio-Technica's high-quality moving-magnet system (MM) precisely captures the details of your vinyl collection. Thanks to the Bluetooth® reception function, you can stream your digital music collection from your smartphone directly to the PL920's high-quality speaker system. The analog VU meters serve a practical purpose: they provide reliable, precise level control, which is particularly important when digitizing your records via USB encoding to prevent clipping.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions about the PL920
What purpose do the VU meters on the PL920 serve?
The VU meters display the audio level. This is especially useful when digitizing your records via USB stick: you can visually check whether the signal is optimally adjusted to avoid distortion in the recording. They also emphasize the device’s classic hi-fi design.
Can I connect my Bluetooth headphones to the turntable?
No. The PL920’s Bluetooth interface is designed as a receiver. You can play music wirelessly from your smartphone or tablet through the system’s speakers, but you cannot send a signal to headphones.
Does the device have a high-quality cartridge system?
Yes. The PL920 is equipped with a precise Audio-Technica moving-magnet system. Compared with simple ceramic systems, it offers significantly better sound resolution and is gentler on your records.
How does USB digitization work?
Insert a USB stick and select the source (e.g., turntable). With the Record function, you can save the music directly to the stick as an MP3 file. The VU meters visually indicate that recording is active.
