Audio-Technica - AT-ART9XI Dual Moving Coil Cartridge - Black/Silver

The AT33xMLD features a microlinear nude stylus on a duralumin tapered cantilever delivering warm detailed sound ideal for rock and jazz. Its piano-wire suspension improves tracking and enhances mid-low range performance while the composite zinc aluminum and polymer body minimizes resonance for balanced natural playback. Independent PCOCC coils in the dual moving coil design ensure excellent channel separation and smooth signal transmission supported by a neodymium magnet and permendur yoke for efficient high-resolution sound.FeaturesDual Moving Coil Stereo Cartridge with Microlinear Nude StylusPCOCC Coils Ensure Smooth Signal TransmissionComposite Body Reduces Resonance for Balanced SoundMaterial DifferenceThe AT33xMLD’s rigid duralumin pipe cantilever which tapers toward the microlinear stylus tip for improved response is linked with a firm suspension mechanism slightly lowering the dynamic compliance. Two independent PCOCC coils are positioned at the cantilever’s fulcrum to ensure pure signal transmission for each channel.Sound BodyEach AT33x Series cartridge body is constructed of three distinct materials – die-cast zinc aluminum and high-rigidity polymer – optimally arranged to reduce and disperse resonance across the cartridge body so that no frequency predominates during playback. Threaded holes are incorporated into the body for easy mounting.Full Warm SoundThe redesigned AT33x Series cartridges deliver that classic analog sound rich in detail across the audio spectrum with lifelike expressiveness in the mid to low frequencies. The AT33xMLD is an excellent choice for playing rock and jazz records particularly those recorded in the 1950s ’60s and ’70s.  What's in the BoxAT33xMLD Dual Moving Coil Stereo CartridgeInstallation Kit

The AT33Sa is the first Audio-Technica moving coil cartridge to feature a Shibata line-contact stylus, known for its superior high-range performance and strong mid and bass sound. The stylus is mounted on a tapered boron cantilever with a double damper for reduced weight and better audio quality. The cartridge’s dual moving coils provide excellent channel separation and are affixed within a strong but lightweight VC mold to greatly reduce unwanted vibration. The cartridge uses a neodymium magnet and a permendur yoke for dramatically enhanced magnetic energy. The PCOCC (Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting) coils ensure pure audio transmission. Moving coil cartridge with Shibata stylus delivers exquisite, full-range audio reproduction. Advanced tapered boron cantilever and reduced coil weight improve the audio quality, particularly in the higher frequencies. Neodymium magnet and permendur yoke dramatically enhance the magnetic energy. PCOCC (Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting) coil enables pure signal transfer. High-separation, wide response dual moving coil. VC mold limits unnecessary vibration. Precision-cast hard aluminum alloy body enhances rigidity and the signal-to-noise ratio.

The AT LH11H is a universal half inch mount aluminum headshell designed for listeners who want maximum compatibility without added mass. Weighing just 11 grams the lightest option in the LH lineup it works easily with a wider range of cartridges turntables and tonearms. Non threaded through holes make mounting simple when using cartridges with threaded bodies while the rigid aluminum construction with hard anodized finish helps control resonance and reduce unwanted vibration. High purity oxygen free copper lead wires ensure clean signal transfer and consistent performance. An adjustable cylinder allows precise azimuth and overhang alignment for accurate tracking and improved sound. Installation hardware is included for convenience. Additional LH series weight options are available to fine tune cartridge and tonearm matching.
