Audio-Technica - Audio Technica ATOC9XEB Dual Moving Coil Cartridge - Blue

The 2M Series of cartridges is designed for precise and accurate retrieval of the information in the record groove. Ortofon's philosophy is to play the record sound as accurate as possible without coloring the sound.The name 2M was selected from several ideas. Ortofon wanted a modern name that would be easy to pronounce and remember and therefore an alphanumerical name was chosen. 2M means MM which is the abbreviation for moving magnet. The 2M series of cartridges features Ortofon’s trademark split pole pins an invention that enables moving magnet cartridges to have a flat frequency response as with a moving coil cartridge. Split pole pins were invented by Ortofon and were originally presented in the 500 series and Super OM series.   We have optimized the design for ease of mounting the cartridge and the weight and size to fit the most common turntables on the market today. The 2M Series provides excellent compatibility when used in an assortment of playback systems and with a wide variety of phono preamps.2M Blue Series Features:an improved engine which provides an increased output of 5.5mVNude Elliptical diamond and split pole pins with a copper wire2M Blue Series Specifications:Output voltage at 1000 Hz 5cm/sec: 5mVChannel balance at 1kHz: 15 dBChannel separation at 1 kHz: 25 dBChannel separation at 15 kHz: 15 dBFrequency range at - 3 dB: 20-25.000 HzFrequency response: 20-20.000 + 2 / - 1 dBTracking ability at 315Hz at recommended tracking force: 80 micrometersCompliance dynamic lateral: 20 micrometers/mNStylus type: Nude EllipticalStylus tip radius: r/R 8/18 micrometersTracking force range: 16-20g (16-20 mN)Tracking force recommended: 18 g (18 mN)Tracking an

Premium Moving Magnet CartridgeExperience unveiled and clear sound reproduction with the Concorde Music Blue featuring a Nude Elliptical stylus on an Aluminum cantilever and offers an upgrade from the Concorde Music Red. Enjoy seamless upgrades throughout the series from the Concorde Music Blue to the Concorde Music Black LVB 250 simply by replacing the stylus.Iconic DesignBuilding upon a rich legacy which began when we launched the original Concorde the Concorde Music holds a storied history as one of the most famous cartridges in the world of audio. Originally developed as a solution to the challenge of easy mounting on a tonearm without screws or wires the Concorde's unique design earned the Danish Industrial Design Award and became an icon in the audio industry.StylusThe Concorde Music Blue featuring a Nude Elliptical stylus on an Aluminum cantilever offers an upgrade from the Concorde Music Red. Nude diamonds weighing less than their tipped counterparts enhance responsiveness detail and reduce distortion. Enjoy seamless upgrades throughout the series from the Concorde Music Blue to the Concorde Music Black LVB 250 simply by replacing the stylus.Rubber SuspensionA crucially important and vital part of a phono cartridge overall performance is the stylus rubber suspension. Exclusive Ortofon rubber compounds are used for the stylus suspensions in the Concorde Music Blue carefully produced at the inhouse rubber production and developed by the research and engineering team at Ortofon for brilliant performance.Coil SystemThe Concorde Music features Ortofon's quad-coil generating system with four split pole pins. Silver-plated oxygen-free copper is chosen for the quad-coil system along with four Ortofon split pole pins. This results in exceptional channel balance and separation delivering precise and dynamic sound. With a 6 mV output it offers lifelike sound with exce

The AT-OC9XEN Dual Moving Coil cartridge with nude elliptical stylus is designed to provide outstanding channel separation. 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. Audio quality is further enhanced by a rigid aluminum body that reduces resonance, a neodymium magnet and pure iron yoke that increase the magnetic energy, and the low-mass nude elliptical stylus on an aluminum cantilever that accurately tracks the record groove. The cartridge body has been pre-threaded, enabling it to be mounted to a headshell or integral tonearm with just two screws – no nuts required. Dual Moving Coil design, featuring independent coils for both left and right channels, provides outstanding channel separation. The coils are aligned in a reverse V-shaped formation, which exerts less pressure on the stylus, thereby minimizing distortion. The cartridge body is pre-threaded, enabling it to be mounted onto the headshell or integral tonearm with just two screws – no nuts required. Features low mass nude elliptical stylus and aluminum cantilever. A neodymium magnet and pure iron yoke provide increased magnetic energy. Aluminum body minimizes unwanted vibration for reduced resonance and superior audio reproduction. Pure copper by Ohno Continuous Casting process (PCOCC) is used for the coils to achieve pure signal transfer.
