Description
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.
AT-OC9XEN 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.
*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.
External Power Supply & 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 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.
