Meet the AT-ART9XI 

Audio Technica's Flagship Magnetic Core MC Cartridge

Product Features

• Audio-Technica’s flagship magnetic core moving coil cartridge
• Dual moving coils are aligned in an inverted V shape, providing high separation and wide response for clear sound localisation and minimal distortion
• Special line contact stylus ensures faithful reproduction of the music signal, and the 0.28 mm diameter solid boron cantilever provides excellent response characteristics
• Neodymium magnet and permendur yoke significantly increase magnetic energy
• Specially designed magnetic circuit provides an output voltage of 0.5 mV (1 kHz, 5 cm/sec)
• PCOCC coils ensure high-fidelity transmission
• Machined aluminium base supports both the magnetic circuit and the vibration system, ensuring excellent playback stability
• Hybrid body of machined aluminium and high-rigidity plastic reduces undesirable parasitic resonance
• Threaded cartridge mounting holes allow easy installation to a headshell or integrated tonearm
