The dual moving coils of the system are aligned in an inverted V shape, which provides high separation and wide response for clear sound localization and minimal distortion
The Shibata stylus ensures accurate high and mid-low range reproduction, and the boron cantilever provides excellent response characteristics
The specially designed magnetic circuit optimizes energy in the magnetic gap where the generator coils are located
A complete redesign of the armature offers a 20% increase in the cross-sectional area of the generator coil to provide an output voltage of 0.2 mV
Using PCOCC (Pure Copper Ohno Continuous Cast) wire for the coils achieves pure signal transfer
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.
