Description
Leverages 30 years of lineage to create the latest in the OC9 series cartridge; the Audio-Technica AT-OC9XSL is a dual moving coil stereo cartridge with a Special Line Contact stylus that is highly prized by vinyl enthusiasts and professional critics for its musical transparency, expression of sound, and precision construction. The dual moving coil cartridge features a Special Line Contact stylus, which is designed to provide outstanding channel separation, while the Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting (PCOCC) coils ensure pure audio transmission and are aligned in a reverse V-shaped formation to exert less pressure on the stylus, thereby minimizing distortion. Other enhancements include a rigid aluminum body that reduces resonance, a neodymium magnet, and premium permendur yoke that dramatically increases the magnetic energy, ensuring rich, full-range audio with a high transient response. The AT-OC9XSL comes pre-threaded, enabling it to be mounted to a headshell or integral tonearm with just two screws (no nuts required). Also included are a non-magnetic screwdriver, mounting hardware (screws and washers), a plastic protector, and a brush.None Dual moving coil design, featuring independent coils for both left and right channels, provides outstanding channel separationCoils are aligned in a reverse V-shaped formation, which exerts less pressure on the stylus, thereby minimizing distortionThe cartridge body is pre-threaded, enabling it to be mounted onto the headshell or integral tonearm with just two screws no nuts requiredFeatures nude Special Line Contact stylus and boron cantilever with accurate tracking ability and high transient responseA neodymium magnet and permendur yoke provide dramatically increased magnetic energyAluminum body minimizes unwanted vibration for reduced resonance and superior audio reproductionPure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting process (PCOCC) is used for the coils to achieve pure signal transfer
