AUDIO TECHNICA AT-LPA2

The AT-LPA2 turntable, fully manual and belt-driven, is designed to deliver the authenticity of analog sound in its purest form. Built with a high-density 30 mm transparent acrylic chassis and a 20 mm thick acrylic platter, it offers remarkable resonance reduction, minimizing unwanted vibrations and allowing every sonic detail to emerge with exceptional clarity. The use of acrylic isn’t merely an aesthetic choice—it is also acoustically ideal, effectively damping vibrations and isolating the system from external interference.

The AT-OC9XEN moving coil cartridge, featuring a 0.3 x 0.7 mil nude elliptical stylus and high-purity PCOCC copper coils, ensures highly detailed reproduction and excellent channel separation. Due to its low output voltage (0.35 mV), the cartridge requires a step-up transformer or a dedicated moving coil phono preamp for optimal signal amplification.

Every component of this system is engineered to enhance the listening experience. The control and power unit is physically separate from the main turntable, a design choice that isolates sensitive audio circuits from electrical noise, ensuring a more accurate and quiet playback. A built-in optical sensor located beneath the spindle constantly monitors platter rotation to maintain speed accuracy at both 33 1/3 and 45 RPM.

The newly developed tonearm, made from carbon fiber, offers superior stability and precise tracking, featuring a highly accurate, adjustable thread-suspended anti-skate mechanism. The tonearm height can be adjusted using the included hex key, allowing for precise setup tailored to any cartridge. Two counterweights, 110 g and 130 g, are provided to support a wide range of cartridge weights. The cartridge is mounted on an exclusive machined aluminum headshell with azimuth adjustment for refined alignment.

Heavy-duty, height-adjustable feet provide excellent isolation from surface vibrations, while the phono-level output ensures a pure, uncolored signal transmission. Included accessories comprise an RCA stereo cable, ground wire, 45 RPM adapter, a clear hinged dust cover, white gloves for fingerprint-free handling during setup, and all necessary tools for calibration. The result is a high-end turntable that combines contemporary aesthetics with deep analog expertise, bringing out every nuance of your vinyl collection.
