Note: The included low-output (0.35 mV) MC cartridge requires a compatible MC phono preamp or step-up transformer. Fully Manual Belt-Drive Turntable AT-LPA2 The AT-LPA2 is the finest turntable Audio-Technica has ever developed, designed to reveal the purity of analog audio. Assembled from transparent acrylic, the AT-LPA2 fully manual belt-drive turntable combines contemporary aesthetics with analog expertise, while remaining incredibly easy to set up and use. We designed the AT-LPA2 to minimize resonance, which can cause noise and distortion in the signal chain, while maximizing detailed audio reproduction of your vinyl records with crystal-clear accuracy. Not only is the acrylic stunning, it is also an ideal material for turntable construction, greatly reducing reverberations that might otherwise affect sound clarity. Dual Moving Coil Cartridge AT-OC9XEN The AT-OC9XEN moving coil cartridge* features a nude elliptical stylus (0.3 x 0.7 mil) and high-purity PCOCC coils. Designed to capture every nuance of your records with stunning clarity, this cartridge blends engineering innovations with carefully selected materials to provide outstanding channel separation and detailed audio reproduction. *Please note: The cartridge’s low (0.35 mV) output voltage requires the use of a step-up transformer or moving coil phono preamp to boost the signal. Ultimate Resonance Reduction - Made of Acrylic The high-density acrylic of the chassis and platter dampens vibrations for supremely quiet playback, allowing the brilliance and detail of your vinyl records to shine through. Quiet, Stable Performance - External Power Supply and Control Unit To minimize electrical interference and ensure optimal performance, the AT-LPA2 features a separate power and control unit. This design isolates the sensitive audio components from power supply noise, resulting in a cleaner, more accurate sound. Exclusively Designed and Engineered - New Tonearm for Excellent Tracking The AT-LPA2’s newly designed tonearm is engineered for precision and ease of use. Featuring advanced materials and construction, the tonearm provides superior tracking with reduced resonance, allowing for faithful reproduction of the original recording. Phono Cartridge Assembly Line Circa 1962 - Over 60 Years of Analog Excellence We got our start in Tokyo in 1962, designing and manufacturing high-performance phono cartridges. That half-century’s worth of analog expertise goes into every turntable we produce, ensuring you get the best listening experience from your vinyl.
