Audio-Technica, a global leader in high-fidelity audio equipment, proudly introduces the AT-LPA2, hailed as the brand’s finest turntable to date. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this fully manual belt-drive turntable blends contemporary design with decades of analog expertise, delivering unparalleled sound quality and ease of use. Alongside this launch, Audio-Technica is excited to announce a limited-time turntable accessory redemption offerfor Australian customers and the introduction of the AT8705 low-profile microphone boom arm, designed for professional broadcast and live-streaming applications.

The AT-LPA2: Redefining Vinyl Playback

The AT-LPA2 is a triumph of engineering and aesthetics, designed to elevate the vinyl listening experience to new heights. Constructed from high-density, 30mm transparent acrylic for the chassis and a 20mm platter, the turntable minimizes resonance a common source of noise and distortion in the audio signal chain. This innovative use of acrylic, which has a resonant frequency similar to vinyl records, ensures exceptional stability and vibration damping, resulting in pure, uncolored sound that lets every nuance of your records shine through.

The AT-LPA2 is not only a visual masterpiece but also a technical marvel. Its carbon-fiber tonearm, precision-engineered for superior tracking and stability, features adjustable vertical tracking angle (VTA) and a highly accurate string-type anti-skate mechanism. The included AT-OC9XEN moving coil cartridge with a 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical nude stylus delivers outstanding channel separation and low distortion, capturing every detail of your vinyl with crystal-clear accuracy. To further enhance performance, the turntable incorporates a separate power and control unit, isolating sensitive audio components from electrical noise for a cleaner, more precise sound.
