Audio-Technica AT-LPA2
The AT-LPA2 is the finest turntable Audio-Technica has ever developed, designed to reveal the purity of analog audio.
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.
Dual Moving Coil Cartridge
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.
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.
New Tonearm
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.
