Audio-Technica AT-ART9XA Dual Moving Coil Cartridge
An update to the AT-ART7, the AT-ART9XA non-magnetic core MC cartridge features a Shibata stylus on a boron cantilever and an Audio-Technica Reference Transducer (ART), a component used only in our premium cartridges. Compared with the magnetic core used in most MC cartridges, non-magnetic core cartridges feature no magnetic distortion, allowing for natural timbre and a precise sound field. Although conventional non-magnetic cores struggle with output voltage, the AT-ART9XA features a newly designed coil armature with an improved output voltage of 0.2 mV (1 kHz, 5 cm/sec). Threaded cartridge mounting holes make installation to a headshell or integrated tonearm incredibly easy.
