Audio Technica AT-OC9XSL Dual Moving Coil Cartridge

Audio Technica AT-OC9XSL Dual Moving Coil Cartridge Introducing the AT-OC9XSL Dual Moving Coil cartridge by Audio-Technica, featuring a specialized line contact stylus for exceptional channel separation. Crafted with Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting (PCOCC) coils arranged in a reverse V-shaped formation, this design minimizes pressure on the stylus, reducing distortion and ensuring pure audio transmission. The cartridge’s audio quality is elevated through a rigid aluminum body, effectively minimizing resonance. Additionally, a neodymium magnet and premium permendur yoke significantly enhance magnetic energy. The nude special line contact stylus, mounted on a boron cantilever, meticulously tracks the record groove with unparalleled accuracy. The result is a rich, full-range audio experience with high transient response. For added convenience, the cartridge body comes pre-threaded, allowing easy mounting to a headshell or integral tonearm with just two screws, eliminating the need for nuts. Audio Technica AT-OC9XSL Dual Moving Coil Cartridge Features Dual Moving Coil design ensures independent coils for both left and right channels, delivering outstanding channel separation. Coils aligned in a reverse V-shaped formation reduce stylus pressure, minimizing distortion. Pre-threaded cartridge body for easy mounting onto the headshell or integral tonearm with just two screws – no nuts required. Features a nude Special Line Contact stylus and boron cantilever, providing accurate tracking and high transient response. Neodymium magnet and permendur yoke significantly increase magnetic energy. Rigid aluminum body minimizes unwanted vibration, reducing resonance and enhancing audio reproduction. Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting process (PCOCC) used for coils, ensuring pure signal transfer.
