Audio Technica AT-LPA2

The Audio-Technica AT-LPA2 is a high-end, fully manual belt-drive turntable designed for audiophiles seeking precise, uncolored vinyl playback with modern build quality and advanced engineering.

Key Technical Features

• Drive System:
  Fully manual belt drive powered by a DC servo motor, ensuring smooth and quiet operation.

• Speeds:
  Supports 33⅓ and 45 RPM playback speeds with precise speed stability maintained by an optical sensor beneath the spindle.

• Chassis and Platter:
  Chassis made from 30 mm thick transparent acrylic, which naturally dampens unwanted resonance for clearer sound.
  Platter is a 20 mm thick acrylic disc, providing high rotational inertia and vibration damping.

• Tonearm:
  Straight carbon-fiber tonearm designed for low resonance and precise tracking.
  Features adjustable vertical tracking angle (VTA), azimuth, and anti-skate (thread-suspended, adjustable from 1.3 g to 3.0 g).
  Effective length: 223.6 mm; overhang: 18.6 mm.
  Comes with two counterweights (110 g and 130 g) to accommodate a variety of cartridge weights.

• Cartridge:
  Pre-mounted Audio-Technica AT-OC9XEN moving coil cartridge featuring:
  Nude elliptical stylus (0.3 x 0.7 mil).
  Ultra-pure Ohno Continuous Casting Copper (PCOCC) coils for detailed, dynamic sound.
  Low output (0.35 mV), requiring an MC-compatible phono preamp or step-up transformer.

• Power and Controls:
  Power supply and controls are housed in a separate external unit to isolate electrical noise from the sensitive audio components.
  Input voltage: 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz; power consumption: 6 W.

• Outputs:
  Dual RCA phono-level outputs (requires MC phono preamp).

• Dimensions and Weight:
  Turntable: 420 × 340 × 135 mm (17″ × 13″ × 5.3″), 8.4 kg (19 lbs).
  Control unit: 133 × 228 × 50 mm (5.2″ × 9.0″ × 2.0″), 1.1 kg (2.4 lbs).
