Our take on the Audio-Technica AT-LPA2 Manual Belt-Drive Turntable

The AT-LPA2 is a fully manual belt-drive turntable built around a clear high-density acrylic chassis and platter. Acrylic's resonance sits close to vinyl's, which helps damp vibration, and the carbon-fiber tonearm with a weighted anti-skate mechanism keeps tracking stable. It ships with the AT-OC9XEN moving-coil cartridge, so it needs a moving-coil phono stage or step-up transformer, not a standard moving-magnet input. It suits listeners stepping into serious analog who want a clean, low-coloration deck and accept the care a manual, acrylic, moving-coil setup demands.

Questions and answers

Does the AT-LPA2 need a phono preamp?
Yes. It has no built-in preamp and its moving-coil cartridge outputs a very low phono-level signal, so you need a moving-coil phono stage or a step-up transformer into a moving-magnet input.
What speeds does it play?
It plays 33-1/3 and 45 rpm. Changing speed is done manually.
Is the cartridge included?
Yes, the AT-OC9XEN moving-coil cartridge with a 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical nude stylus comes fitted.
Can I connect it to a computer or Bluetooth speaker?
Not directly. It has RCA phono-level outputs only, with no USB or Bluetooth, so digitizing or wireless playback needs extra gear.
Is it good for DJ use?
No. It is a fully manual hi-fi deck with a delicate moving-coil cartridge, not a DJ turntable built for scratching or cueing.
How much does it weigh?
The turntable body weighs about 8.4 kg, which helps keep it stable on a shelf or rack.
