Product details
Vinyl fans have a clear choice for pure analog audio with minimal distortion in the AT-LPA2 Manual Two-Speed Turntable from Audio-Technica. It starts with the physical design of the AT-LPA2, with its completely transparent, 1.2"-thick high-density acrylic plinth and 0.8"-thick platter. They improve vibration dampening by being at a similar resonant frequency to that of a record. Electrical interference is drastically reduced by moving the belt-drive motor control and power out of the plinth to an external control box. An optical sensor keeps the platter spinning at a consistent 33 1/3 or 45 rpm speed. To further ensure high-fidelity playback, AT-LPA2 is equipped with a carbon-fiber tonearm with an aluminum headshell and AT-OC9XEN MC cartridge with elliptical nude stylus.
Outside Control
Audio-Technica have taken great steps to minimize external interference from disturbing your vinyl listening. One of the most significant is the external control box of the AT-LPA2. The motor controls and power supply are within the box, mitigating any electrical interference. The buttons are clearly labeled and easily operated. Simply press the power button, your desired speed button, and the start/stop button. An optical sensor positioned under the spindle monitors rotation to ensure it is a consistent 33 1/3 or 45 rpms.
Accurate Tracking
The AT-LPA2 is equipped with an AT-OC9XEN moving coil cartridge, which has a lower mass when compared to other MM-based cartridges. This lets the stylus react quickly within the record's groove to accommodate changes in dynamic music passages for high-fidelity playback. Also, a string-type anti-skate mechanism is employed to prevent side-to-side skipping.
