Audio-Technica AT-LPA2 Fully Manual Belt-Drive Turntable
Audio-Technica AT-LPA2 Fully Manual Belt-Drive Turntable
Transparent acrylic chassis & platter • External control/power unit • Carbon tonearm with VTA • Includes AT-OC9XEN moving-coil cartridge
Meet the AT-LPA2
The Audio-Technica AT-LPA2 Fully Manual Belt-Drive Turntable is engineered to reduce resonance and bring out the purity of vinyl playback with a high-density 30mm transparent acrylic chassis and a 20mm acrylic platter. An optical sensor positioned under the spindle monitors platter rotation to help maintain accurate speed at 33-1/3 and 45 RPM.
To help minimize electrical noise, the controls and power supply are housed in a separate external control unit. The included AT-OC9XEN moving-coil cartridge (low-output) is factory mounted to the headshell for easier setup, but it typically requires an MC-capable phono stage (or step-up device) to match your system.
Highlights & Benefits
- Resonance control by design — dense acrylic construction helps damp vibration for quieter backgrounds and cleaner detail.
- Speed accuracy support — optical monitoring helps maintain stable rotation at 33-1/3 and 45 RPM.
- Lower noise floor — external control/power unit helps keep electrical interference away from the signal path.
- Adjustability for real-world cartridge matching — carbon tonearm with VTA range and included light/heavy counterweights.
- MC performance included — AT-OC9XEN moving-coil cartridge is pre-mounted for a high-performance starting point.
- System-ready upgrade — the Audio-Technica AT-LPA2 Fully Manual Belt-Drive Turntable is ideal when you want a serious, fully manual deck that rewards careful setup and quality partnering gear.
Technology & Design
Fully manual belt-drive — a DC servo motor drives the platter via belt for smooth, controlled playback.
Acrylic mass for stability — thick acrylic plinth and platter help absorb unwanted vibration and support consistent rotation.
Optical sensor speed monitoring — sensor feedback under the spindle helps maintain accurate 33-1/3 and 45 RPM speeds.
Carbon tonearm with precision adjustment — static-balanced straight carbon tonearm with tonearm height adjustment to align cartridges properly.
String-and-weight anti-skate — fine, repeatable anti-skate adjustments to match tracking force settings.
FAQ — AT-LPA2
Do I need a phono preamp?
Yes. The included AT-OC9XEN is a moving-coil (MC) cartridge, so you will typically need an MC-capable phono stage or step-up solution.
Is this turntable automatic?
No. It is fully manual — you cue the tonearm and start/stop playback yourself.
What speeds does it play?
It supports 33-1/3 and 45 RPM playback.
Why Buy From Us
- Turntable setup guidance: leveling, tracking force, anti-skate, and VTA
- MC phono stage pairing recommendations for the included cartridge
- System matching support (speakers, amplification, and cabling)
- Ongoing help with upgrades: mats, clamps, isolation, and record care
