Audio-Technica are celebrating their 60th anniversary with the AT-LP2022, a limited edition turntable with 3,000 units available worldwide. A 30mm thick, high-density clear acrylic chassis reveals the belt-drive motor and speed sensor for 33-1/3 or 45 RPM. Height-adjustable feet make it easy to set up. A clear-bodied AT-VM95 cartridge with Shibata stylus can be tweaked with adjustable VTA (vertical tracking angle) and dynamic anti-skate control on the carbon-fibre tonearm.
For the AT-LP2022’s launch, President of Audio-Technica Corporation, Kazuo Matsushita said: “It is an honour to provide a quality audio experience to millions of people throughout the world. What begins as a simple vibration – a subtle movement – results in an emotional connection, whether that be when listening deeply to an album or sharing your voice with the world.”
