Excellent value for a mid-priced low output MC cartridge
Easy to install as far as phono cartridges go. Great resolution explosive dynamics when pushed, excellent tracking. It probably will replace my Ortofon Bronze, if itshows good durability during the next 6 months
Explore the pinnacle of vinyl playback fidelity with the AT-ART9XA Non-Magnetic Core Dual Moving Coil Cartridge, a superior successor to the esteemed AT-ART7. This high-end audio component is a testament to Audio-Technica's commitment to exceptional sound reproduction, earning its place in the elite "ART" series - Audio-Technica Reference Transducer - reserved for the brand's most prestigious phono cartridges.
At the heart of the AT-ART9XA lies a meticulously crafted Shibata stylus, renowned for its ability to trace the subtlest contours of a vinyl record's grooves with unparalleled precision. The stylus is mounted on a slender, yet robust 0.28 mm diameter solid boron cantilever, ensuring accurate signal transmission and remarkable durability.
Distinguishing itself from the majority of MC cartridges, the AT-ART9XA boasts a non-magnetic core design. This innovative approach eliminates magnetic distortion, thereby delivering a sound that is as natural and uncolored as the original recording. The result is a pure timbre and an exquisitely defined sound field that audiophiles and discerning listeners will appreciate.
Addressing the common challenge of output voltage in non-magnetic core cartridges, the AT-ART9XA features a newly engineered coil armature. This design enhancement ensures an improved output voltage of 0.2 mV at 1 kHz, 5 cm/sec, without compromising the cartridge's nuanced audio performance.
The dual moving coils, expertly fashioned from high-performance PCOCC (Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting) wire, are arranged in a unique inverted V shape. This configuration maximizes channel separation and extends the frequency response, allowing every note to be heard with crystal-clear definition and full-bodied presence.
Installation is a breeze, thanks to the threaded cartridge mounting holes. This user-friendly feature facilitates quick and secure attachment to a headshell or integrated tonearm, making it an ideal choice for both audiophiles setting up their home system and professional DJs seeking to optimize their turntable performance.
Embrace the ultimate analog listening experience with the AT-ART9XA Non-Magnetic Core Dual Moving Coil Cartridge, where every detail of your vinyl collection is brought to life with exceptional clarity and depth.
