Audio-Technica AT-LPA2 Fully Manual Belt-Drive Turntable

Flagship Fully Manual Belt Drive • 30mm Acrylic Chassis • 20mm Acrylic Platter • Carbon-Fiber Tonearm • Optical Speed Monitoring • External Control Unit • AT-OC9XEN Moving-Coil Cartridge

Flagship Analog Engineering with Acrylic Construction and Moving-Coil Performance

The Audio-Technica AT-LPA2 Fully Manual Belt-Drive Turntable is Audio-Technica’s flagship turntable, designed to minimize resonance and preserve the purity of the cartridge signal. Its substantial 30mm high-density transparent acrylic chassis and 20mm acrylic platter provide a rigid, highly damped foundation, while a DC servo belt-drive motor and optical sensor continuously monitor platter rotation for precise 33-1/3 and 45 RPM playback.

A separate control and power-supply unit keeps operating electronics away from the sensitive analog components in the main turntable chassis. The specially developed 8.8-inch carbon-fiber tonearm provides adjustable VTA, azimuth, tracking force and string-type anti-skate, while the factory-installed AT-OC9XEN moving-coil cartridge uses a nude elliptical stylus and high-purity PCOCC coils for detailed, low-distortion playback.

Highlights & Benefits

  • 30mm Transparent Acrylic Chassis — High-density acrylic provides exceptional rigidity and vibration damping while creating the AT-LPA2’s distinctive appearance.
  • 20mm High-Mass Acrylic Platter — The substantial transparent platter provides rotational stability and resonance control without relying on a conventional metal platter.
  • AT-OC9XEN Moving-Coil Cartridge Included — Premium low-output MC cartridge with a 0.3 × 0.7 mil nude elliptical stylus comes factory-mounted to a machined aluminum headshell.
  • Carbon-Fiber Tonearm with Extensive Adjustment — Adjustable VTA, azimuth, tracking force and finely controlled string-type anti-skate allow precise cartridge setup.
  • Separate Power & Control Unit — Moving the motor controls and power supply away from the turntable body helps isolate sensitive audio circuitry from electrical interference.

Technology & Design

Optically Monitored Belt Drive — An optical sensor beneath the spindle continually monitors platter rotation, helping the DC servo system maintain accurate speed at either 33-1/3 or 45 RPM.

AT-OC9XEN Moving-Coil Architecture — The supplied cartridge uses a low-mass moving-coil generator, high-purity PCOCC coils, an aluminum-pipe cantilever and nude elliptical stylus for refined groove tracking and strong channel separation.

Static-Balanced Carbon-Fiber Tonearm — The 223.6mm straight tonearm is lightweight and resistant to unwanted resonance, while two supplied counterweights broaden compatibility with alternative cartridges.

Heavy-Duty Isolation Feet — Height-adjustable feet are engineered specifically for the AT-LPA2 to help isolate the acrylic chassis from vibration transmitted through furniture and flooring.

FAQ — Audio-Technica AT-LPA2

What cartridge comes with the AT-LPA2?

The AT-LPA2 includes Audio-Technica’s AT-OC9XEN moving-coil cartridge mounted to a machined aluminum headshell. It uses a 0.3 × 0.7 mil nude elliptical stylus and has a specified output of 0.35mV.

Does the AT-LPA2 have a built-in phono preamp?

No. The AT-LPA2 provides a direct phono-level output. Because the supplied AT-OC9XEN is a low-output moving-coil cartridge, it requires a compatible MC phono preamplifier, head amplifier or step-up transformer.

Can I install a different cartridge?

Yes. The supplied light counterweight supports cartridges from 6.1 to 9.2 grams excluding the headshell, while the heavy counterweight supports cartridges from 9.2 to 13.9 grams.

Why is the power supply separate?

The control and power-supply electronics are housed outside the turntable body to reduce the possibility of electrical interference reaching the sensitive cartridge, tonearm wiring and analog signal path.
