Product Description
Audio-Technica AT-LPA2 Fully Manual Belt-Drive Turntable
The AT-LPA2 is Audio-Technica’s finest fully manual belt-drive turntable, assembled from transparent acrylic to reveal the purity of analog audio. Its high-density acrylic construction and isolated power/control unit minimize resonance and electrical interference for quiet, detailed playback with crystal-clear accuracy.
Engineered for Quiet, Uncolored Sound
The AT-LPA2 is built to reduce resonance and vibration that can introduce noise and distortion, so the signal you hear remains clean and accurate.
- 30 mm transparent acrylic chassis and 20 mm acrylic platter provide exceptional stability and vibration damping
- Low-resonance, high-density acrylic construction reduces reverberations that can affect sound clarity
- Exclusively designed heavy-duty, height-adjustable feet isolate the turntable from vibration
- Separate control unit/power supply isolates sensitive audio components from electrical noise
- Phono-level output provides pure, direct transmission of the cartridge’s signal
Consistent Speed and Fully Manual Control
Precision speed control maintains accurate playback of 33-1/3 and 45 RPM records, while fully manual operation supports straightforward, reliable use.
- Optical sensor under the spindle monitors platter rotation to maintain accurate speed
- Mass of the acrylic platter helps it spin at a consistent speed
- Fully manual, belt-drive operation at 33-1/3 and 45 RPM
Precision Cartridge and Tonearm System
The pre-mounted AT-OC9XEN moving coil cartridge and newly designed tonearm work together to capture record grooves with clarity and stability.
- AT-OC9XEN MC cartridge with 0.3 x 0.7 mil nude elliptical stylus and high-purity PCOCC coils for detailed audio reproduction and outstanding channel separation
- Lower mass MC structure allows the stylus to react quickly to groove changes for more detailed reproduction
- Exclusive machined-aluminum headshell with azimuth adjustment
- Newly designed 8.8-inch straight carbon-fiber tonearm with adjustable VTA for precise setup
- Highly accurate, finely adjustable string-type anti-skate mechanism maintains proper channel balance
- Two counterweight options (110 g and 130 g) to accommodate a wide variety of cartridges
Note: The AT-OC9XEN’s low 0.35 mV output requires a step-up transformer or moving coil phono preamp.
Simple Setup with Included Accessories
Despite its mechanical precision, the AT-LPA2 remains easy to set up and use, and it includes key accessories to get you started.
- Dual RCA (male) to dual RCA (male) stereo cable and ground wire
- 45 RPM adapter and removable hinged dust cover
- Hex wrench for tonearm height adjustment
- White inspection gloves to help prevent fingerprints during setup
