AT-LPA2 | Audio-Technica

Introducing the latest top-of-the-line turntable from Audio-Technica, the AT-LPA2. This new turntable incorporates many significant upgrades and includes Audio-Technica’s acclaimed AT-OC9XEN moving-coil phono cartridge, to deliver extraordinary sound quality from vinyl records.

The AT-LPA2 is made from transparent acrylic, a material that combines stunning contemporary aesthetics with vibration-damping properties to reduce unwanted resonances to a minimum. The turntable features a 30 mm acrylic chassis and 20 mm acrylic platter, to provide exceptional rotational stability. Speed accuracy at 33-1/3 and 45 RPM is maintained
by means of an optical sensor positioned under the turntable spindle. The AT-LPA2’s power supply and controls are housed in a separate unit away from the turntable itself, which isolates the turntable motor from electrical interference and ensures ultra-quiet operation.

The includedAT-OC9XEN moving-coil phono cartridge is pre-mounted to a machined aluminum headshell, to deliver superlative resolution of the most refined musical detail, and make setting up the turntable easy. The OC9 Series has long been acclaimed as a reference standard in cartridge design, and the AT-OC9XEN features a nude elliptical stylus, high-purity PCOCC oxygen-free copper internal wiring, a dual-magnet design for maximum stereo separation and imaging, a neodymium magnet structure, and a rigid aluminum body.

The AT-LPA2 features an all-new lightweight, anti-resonant carbon fiber tonearm with adjustable VTA, azimuth and anti-skating adjustments. It’s supplied with two counterweights (110 and 130 grams) that allow the use of a wide variety of phono cartridges. The AT-LPA2 features heavy-duty height-adjustable isolation feet for solid, stable vinyl playback. The turntable comes with a removable hinged dust cover, 45 RPM adapter, RCA connecting cable and other accessories – even a pair of white gloves to keep the turntable clean during setup.
