AT-LPA2 Fully Manual Belt-Drive Turntable

The AT-LPA2 fully manual belt-drive turntable is a masterpiece of modern engineering featuring a high density transparent acrylic chassis and platter to provide exceptional stability and vibration damping pure uncolored sound. With its clean modern look advanced components and precision engineering the AT-LPA2 is your entry into the world of pure analog audio. Features Fully Manual Belt-Drive Operation (33-1/3 45 rpm) Phono-Level Output Provides Pure Direct Transmission Low-Resonance High-Density Clear Acrylic Newly Designed Carbon-Fiber Tonearm Highly Accurate Weighted Anti-Skate Mechanism AT-OC9XEN MC Cartridge with 0.3 x 0.7 mil Elliptical Nude Stylus Acrylic Construction Not only is the acrylic stunning it is also an ideal material for turntable construction: with a resonant frequency similar to that of vinyl records the acrylic reduces reverberations that might otherwise aCect sound clarity. Plus the mass of the acrylic platter allows it to spin at a consistent speed. Isolated Controls and Power Supply To further reduce unwanted noise weve moved the controls and power supply into a separate unit a feature typically found only on more expensive turntables thereby isolating the turntables sensitive audio components from electrical interference associated with powering and operating the turntables motor. An optical sensor positioned under the spindle monitors platter rotation to maintain an accurate speed of 33-1/3 or 45 RPM. AT-OC9XEN Moving Coil Cartridge The AT-LPA2 comes with an AT-OC9XEN moving coil cartridge* which features a nude elliptical stylus (0.3 x 0.7 mil) and high-purity PCOCC coils enabling it to capture every nuance of your records with stunning clarity. The lower mass of the moving coil structure (compared to moving magnet cartridges) allows the stylus to react more quickly to changes in the record groove resulting in more detailed audio reproduction. The cartridge comes mounted to an exclusive machine
