Audio Technica AT-LP2022 – Fully Manual Belt Drive Turntable

AT-LP2022

The limited-edition AT-LP2022 turntable celebrates 60 years of audio excellence, designed with modern aesthetics and a uniqueness like no other. This fully manual turntable with belt drive operation demonstrates the purity of analog audio. With a limited-edition Shibata stylus and carbon-fibre tonearm, the AT-LP2022 heightens everyday listening experiences and effortlessly unites people through sound.

The stylish AT-LP2022 turntable comes equipped with a lightweight AT-HS4SV headshell and 30 mm-thick, high-density clear acrylic chassis that not only reduces resonance but reveals the sensor-monitor motor. The motor speed-sensor system is specially designed to maintain accurate platter rotation speeds of 33-⅓ and 45 RPM. Alongside the transparent acrylic platter for a stable rotation, this turntable is designed with high-isolation, height-adjustable feet to keep the turntable stabilized.

The clear-body Shibata stylus can pick up ultra-high frequencies, allowing users to discover sound like never heard before. The Shibata stylus is easily interchangeable with the 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical stylus that comes installed on the included AT-VM95EBK (black) cartridge. The AT-LP2022 is the perfect turntable for all, offering an AT-VM95 cartridge that’s compatible with any VM95 Series replacement stylus, providing a range of options for every budget and application. The adjustable vertical tracking angle and dynamic anti-skate control ensure the turntable can be used with cartridges of various heights and weights. The turntable also features exclusively designed high-isolation, height-adjustable feet.

Included Accessories: Dual RCA (male) to Dual RCA (male) stereo cable, 45 RPM adapter, and removable hinged dust cover.

Intersection of Design and Technology

Modern Aesthetics

A stylish 30 mm-thick, high-density clear acrylic chassis reduces resonance and reveals the belt-drive motor – highlighting the turntable’s pure analogue sound.

Over 60 Years of Cartridge Technology

Limited Edition Shibata Stylus

The clear-body Shibata stylus can pick up ultra-high frequencies, allowing you to discover sound you’ve never heard before. The Shibata stylus is easily interchangeable with the 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical stylus that comes installed on the included AT-VM95EBK (black) cartridge. (Four additional VM95 stylus types – conical, SP conical, elliptical nude, Microlinear – are available separately.)

Perfect Precision

Carefully Constructed Components

A sensor-monitored motor ensures a continuously accurate platter rotation speed of 33-1/3 or 45 RPM. Specially designed high-isolation, height-adjustable feet keep the turntable stabilized, and an AC adapter keeps the AC/DC conversion outside the chassis, reducing noise in the signal chain.

Adjustable VTA (vertical tracking angle) and dynamic anti-skate control ensure the turntable can be used with cartridges of various heights and weights.

A Legacy Continues

The Art of Analogue

“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.”

Connecting the World Through Music

Playing for Change

A percentage of all 60th Anniversary hi-fi sales will be donated to the Playing For Change Foundation, which was established to create positive change through music and arts education for marginalized and at-risk youth, most specifically in the developing world.

We are proud to support both Playing For Change – a movement dedicated to inspiring and connecting the world through music- and its partner organization, The Playing For Change Foundation, and share with them the vision that music should be accessible to all.
