This next-generation lineup offers a wide range of cartridges designed to suit every listener, from vinyl newcomers to seasoned audiophiles. With options at every price point, the AT-VMx series serves as a clear upgrade pathway, allowing users to progress through the lineup as their system and listening preferences evolve. At the core of the redesign is the introduction of PCUHD® (Pure Copper Ultra High Drawability) as the coil conductor across all models. This high-purity material delivers powerful low-frequency response and an expanded soundstage. Combined with a newly optimised coil structure that reduces the number of turns, each cartridge in the VMx series delivers rich, responsive, and highly musical sound reproduction.
AT-LPA2
Assembled from high-density transparent acrylic and engineered for outstanding audio clarity, the AT-LPA2 has been precision-crafted to deliver the purest possible vinyl listening experience while looking extraordinary in any setting. The one-of-a-kind turntable is now available on the Audio-Technica website.
Designed for vinyl lovers who value both form and function, the AT-LPA2 features a striking 30mm transparent, high-density acrylic chassis and 20mm acrylic platter. This unique construction looks beautiful and provides exceptional resonance control, minimising unwanted vibrations for remarkably clear playback. At its heart is a precision-engineered belt drive mechanism with an optical sensor beneath the spindle. This constantly monitors platter rotation, ensuring accurate playback at both 33-1/3 and 45 RPM speeds.
