Featuring a special line contact stylus on a 0.28 mm diameter solid boron cantilever, the AT-ART9XI replaces the AT-ART9 as Audio-Technica’s flagship magnetic core MC cartridge.
Key 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 localization 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 aluminum base supports both the magnetic circuit and the vibration system, ensuring excellent playback stability
Hybrid body of machined aluminum and high-rigidity plastic reduces undesirable parasitic resonance
Threaded cartridge mounting holes allow easy installation to a headshell or integrated tonearm
