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.
