Audio-Technica AT-LPA2 Acrylic Belt-Drive Turntable

Looking for the ultimate vinyl setup? The Audio-Technica AT-LPA2 clear acrylic belt-drive turntable blends high-end analog engineering with modern aesthetics to deliver pure, uncolored sound. Its transparent acrylic chassis and platter aren't just visually striking—they're acoustically tuned to reduce vibration and reverberation, thanks to a resonant frequency that closely matches vinyl records. The dense 20 mm platter construction ensures speed stability, while an optical sensor beneath the spindle precisely monitors RPM at 33-1/3 or 45. A separate control unit minimizes electrical interference, and the included AT-OC9XEN moving coil cartridge with nude elliptical stylus delivers exceptional clarity, detail and musicality.

Clear Acrylic Platter and Chassis for Vibration Control

The AT-LPA2's clear acrylic platter and chassis aren't just eye-catching—they're purpose-built to elevate sound quality through vibration control. Acrylic's resonant frequency aligns closely with vinyl, minimizing coloration caused by resonance and reverberation. The thick platter adds mass for stable rotation, while the modern, minimalist design enhances both form and function. This combination of acoustic tuning and visual sophistication sets the AT-LPA2 apart as a reference-grade turntable.

Carbon-Fiber Tonearm for Precision Vinyl Tracking

Serious about sound? The AT-LPA2's carbon-fiber tonearm delivers the precision tracking your vinyl collection demands. Its anti-resonant build and string-type anti-skate system ensure channel balance and minimize inner groove distortion. Two included counterweights (110g and 130g) accommodate a wide range of cartridges, making the AT-LPA2 flexible for customization. The result is refined stylus control and enhanced musical detail across every record in your collection.

Audio-Technica AT-OC9XEN Cartridge for High-Fidelity Playback

Want to hear every detail buried in your vinyl? The AT-LPA2 comes equipped with the Audio-Technica AT-OC9XEN moving coil cartridge, featuring a nude elliptical stylus and high-purity PCOCC coils for detailed, dynamic sound. Its lightweight coil design improves stylus response and channel separation, revealing subtle textures in your records. A low-output cartridge like this one requires a dedicated step-up transformer or moving coil phono preamp for best results. Precision-mounted on a machined aluminum headshell, it's ideal for audiophiles seeking top-tier analog performance.

AT-LPA2 Turntable Control Unit for Noise-Free Playback

Less interference means more music. The AT-LPA2's motor, power supply and control electronics are housed separately from the audio path, reducing electrical noise and preserving signal integrity. This isolated design—typically found in high-end turntables—improves performance across the board. An onboard optical sensor also monitors platter speed in real time, maintaining accurate playback at both 33-1/3 and 45 RPM. Combined, these features ensure long-term reliability and a quieter, cleaner listening experience.
