As part of Audio-Technica’s renowned lineup of audio products, the AT-LP2D-USB brings together quality craftsmanship, innovative technology, and user-friendly features to enhance the listening experience.

At its core, the AT-LP2D-USB boasts a high-fidelity, belt-driven mechanism that minimizes vibration, ensuring optimum sound quality. This direct drive system provides a stable platform for playback, which is essential for maintaining the integrity of the audio signal. The turntable features a durable and solid plinth, effectively reducing unwanted resonance that can affect sound clarity.
