Audio Technica AT-LPA2

The finest turntable Audio-Technica has ever developed, designed to reveal the purity of analogue audio

Despite the turntable’s mechanical precision, it remains incredibly easy to set up and use

Fully manual, belt-drive operation with two speeds: 33-1/3 and 45 RPM

30 mm-thick transparent chassis is made from low-resonance, high-density clear acrylic

20 mm-thick, high-density transparent acrylic platter is calibrated to spin at a consistent speed

AT-OC9XEN MC cartridge* with 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical nude stylus provides detailed sound reproduction with excellent channel separation and low distortion 

Separate control unit / power supply isolates the turntable from unwanted electrical noise

Optical sensor, positioned under the spindle, monitors platter rotation to maintain accurate speed

Newly designed, carbon-fiber tonearm is precision-engineered for superior tracking and stability, with adjustable VTA

Highly accurate and finely adjustable weighted anti-skate mechanism (string-type)

Includes both a 110 g and 130 g counterweight to accommodate most cartridge configurations

Exclusive machined-aluminium headshell with azimuth adjustment

Phono-level output provides pure, direct transmission of the cartridge’s signal

Exclusively designed heavy-duty, height-adjustable feet isolate the turntable from vibration
