Automat A2

Automat A2 in Black. Premium, fully automatic turntable featuring a sub-chassis design for reduced resonance, handmade in Germany. It offers, per the Pro-Ject Audio Systems page, fully mechanical automation (33/45/78 RPM) with a 8.3” ultra-light-mass tonearm, pre-adjusted Ortofon 2M Red cartridge and a damping-coated, heavy MDF chassis

Key Features:

- Fully Automatic Operation: Fully mechanical auto-start and end-of-record stop mechanism, which decouples during playback to avoid influencing sound quality.

- Floating Sub-Chassis System: The tonearm, platter bearing, and motor are on a separate, floating sub-chassis, maximizing isolation from external vibrations and speaker feedback.

- Massless Tracking Force: The downforce is applied directly to the pivot point's axis, eliminating the need for a traditional counterweight for tracking force and ensuring greater stability.

- Improved 8.3" Tonearm: A lightweight, aluminum tonearm designed to complement the pre-installed Ortofon 2M Red cartridge.

- Speed Control & Versatility: Precise electronic speed control (33, 45, and 78 RPM), supporting both standard LPs and shellac records.

- Adjustable Drop Point: Features user-adjustable settings for the tonearm's landing spot on 7-inch (singles) or 12-inch (LPs) records.

- Handmade in Germany: Built with traditional precision engineering.
