Audio-Technica AT-LPA2 Fully Manual Belt-Drive Turntable - Clear

Audio-Technica AT-LPA2 Fully Manual Belt-Drive Turntable

The AT-LPA2 is Audio-Technica’s finest fully manual belt-drive turntable, assembled from transparent acrylic to reveal the purity of analog audio. Its high-density acrylic construction and isolated power/control unit minimize resonance and electrical interference for quiet, detailed playback with crystal-clear accuracy.

Engineered for Quiet, Uncolored Sound

The AT-LPA2 is built to reduce resonance and vibration that can introduce noise and distortion, so the signal you hear remains clean and accurate.

• 30 mm transparent acrylic chassis and 20 mm acrylic platter provide exceptional stability and vibration damping
• Low-resonance, high-density acrylic construction reduces reverberations that can affect sound clarity
• Exclusively designed heavy-duty, height-adjustable feet isolate the turntable from vibration
• Separate control unit/power supply isolates sensitive audio components from electrical noise
• Phono-level output provides pure, direct transmission of the cartridge’s signal

Consistent Speed and Fully Manual Control

Precision speed control maintains accurate playback of 33-1/3 and 45 RPM records, while fully manual operation supports straightforward, reliable use.

• Optical sensor under the spindle monitors platter rotation to maintain accurate speed
• Mass of the acrylic platter helps it spin at a consistent speed
• Fully manual, belt-drive operation at 33-1/3 and 45 RPM

Precision Cartridge and Tonearm System

The pre-mounted AT-OC9XEN moving coil cartridge and newly designed tonearm work together to capture record grooves with clarity and stability.

• AT-OC9XEN MC cartridge with 0.3 x 0.7 mil nude elliptical stylus and high-purity PCOCC coils for detailed audio reproduction and outstanding channel separation
• Lower mass MC structure allows the stylus to react quickly to groove changes for more detailed reproduction
• Exclusive machined-aluminum headshell with azimuth adjustment
• Newly designed 8.8-inch straight carbon-fiber tonearm with adjustable VTA for precise setup
• Highly accurate, finely adjustable string-type anti-skate mechanism maintains proper channel balance
• Two counterweight options (110 g and 130 g) to accommodate a wide variety of cartridges

Note: The AT-OC9XEN’s low 0.35 mV output requires a step-up transformer or moving coil phono preamp.

Simple Setup with Included Accessories

Despite its mechanical precision, the AT-LPA2 remains easy to set up and use, and it includes key accessories to get you started.

• Dual RCA (male) to dual RCA (male) stereo cable and ground wire
• 45 RPM adapter and removable hinged dust cover
• Hex wrench for tonearm height adjustment
• White inspection gloves to help prevent fingerprints during setup
