Audio-Technica - Audio Technica ATOC9XEN Dual Moving Coil Cartridge - Pale Gold
About this product
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.

A Very Homogeneous CartridgeThe Ortofon MC Quintet Blue is a moving coil (MC) phono cartridge designed to enhance your vinyl listening sessions with greater detail and depth. Ideal for audiophiles seeking a balanced and dynamic sound this cartridge brings out the nuances in your music collection making each record come alive.Smooth and Detailed Sound ReproductionCompared to its counterpart the Quintet Red the Quintet Blue offers a smoother sound profile. It provides a more refined reproduction capturing subtle details that contribute to a richer listening experience. This makes it a versatile choice for various music genres especially those with rhythmic complexity. Advanced Stylus DesignAt the heart of the Quintet Blue is a Nude Elliptical diamond stylus mounted on an aluminum cantilever. This design ensures precise tracking of the record grooves resulting in accurate sound reproduction. The stylus's shape allows for a broader contact area with the groove walls which translates to improved detail retrieval and reduced distortion. Innovative Cartridge ConstructionThe cartridge body is crafted from a special thermoplastic material known for its lightweight and impact-resistant properties. This construction not only enhances durability but also minimizes unwanted resonances contributing to the cartridge's overall sonic clarity.What's in the BoxMC Quintet Blue Moving Coil CartridgeSpecificationsOutput voltage at 1kHz 5cm/sec.: 0.5mVChannel balance at 1kHz: 21dBChannel separation at 15kHz: >14dBFrequency range at -3dB: 20Hz - 25kHzFrequency response: 20Hz - 20kHz +/-2.5Tracking ability at 315Hz at recommended tracking force: 70μmCompliance dynamic lateral: 15μm/mN
Experience refined vinyl playback with this premium moving magnet cartridge designed for listeners who demand clarity and musical depth. A nude fine line stylus mounted on an aluminum cantilever delivers accurate groove tracking, lower distortion, and rich detail from subtle textures to powerful dynamics. The iconic integrated body enables quick tool free mounting on S shaped tonearms, simplifying setup while maintaining precise alignment. A carefully tuned rubber suspension supports stable tracking and long term consistency. Inside, a quad coil generator using silver plated oxygen free copper produces strong output, excellent channel balance, and wide separation. Easy stylus replacement supports future upgrades, making this cartridge a versatile, high resolution solution for serious music lovers.
