The AT-LP2022 is a special edition audiophile turntable that commemorates Audio-Technica's 60th anniversary. It comes with a limited edition clear-body AT-VMN95SHCL Shibata stylus, which can be easily swapped with the pre-mounted AT-VMN95EBK elliptical stylus. The 30mm thick chassis is crafted from low-resonance, high-density clear acrylic. A speed-sensor motor system guarantees accurate platter rotation at 33/45rpm, with a fully manual, belt-driven analog operation. The premium carbon fiber tonearm, featuring a metal lift/base, counterweight, anti-skate, VTA adjustment, and a removable AT-HS4SV headshell, enhances the listening experience. High-isolation, height-adjustable feet absorb external vibrations for clean operation. The AC adapter outside the chassis reduces signal noise. It includes removable RCA/ground cables, a power cord, and a removable hinged dust cover. Note that this turntable needs a phono preamp. This turntable combines modern aesthetics and unique design, offering pure analog audio. With a limited-edition Shibata stylus and carbon-fiber tonearm, it elevates daily listening and brings people together through sound. The motor's speed-sensor system maintains accurate 33 and 45 RPM rotation, and the transparent acrylic platter and high-isolation feet ensure stable operation.

It comes with an AT-VM95E BK cartridge, a replacement stylus, a dust cover, a 45 adapter, cables, an AC adaptor, a hexagonal wrench, and gloves.
Using the Audio-Technica AT-LP2022 turntable is quite simple. First, make sure to connect the AC adapter to power it up. Then, attach the RCA/ground cables to your audio system. You can choose between the pre - mounted AT - VM95E BK cartridge with an elliptical stylus or swap it for the limited - edition AT - VMN95SHCL Shibata stylus if you prefer. Adjust the speed using the 33/45rpm speed change knob according to your record. The tonearm has features like a counterweight, anti - skate, and VTA adjustment to optimize the sound. You can use the high - isolation, height - adjustable feet to level the turntable and reduce vibrations. When you're done, cover it with the removable hinged dust cover. Here are some important things to note. This turntable requires a phono preamp to work properly, so make sure you have one. When handling the stylus, use the provided gloves to avoid getting fingerprints on it. For maintenance, regularly clean the platter with a soft, dry cloth. You can also gently clean the stylus with a stylus brush. Check the cables periodically for any signs of wear and tear. If you need to adjust the stylus pressure or other settings, use the hexagonal wrench carefully and follow the instructions in the manual.
