Audio-Technica - Audio Technica ATOC9XSL Dual Moving Coil Cartridge - Blue
About this product
The AT-OC9XSL Dual Moving Coil cartridge with special line contact 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 premium permendur yoke that dramatically increase the magnetic energy, and the nude special line contact stylus on a boron cantilever that tracks the record groove with ultimate accuracy, delivering rich, full-range audio and high transient response. 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 nude Special Line Contact stylus and boron cantilever with accurate tracking ability and high transient response. A neodymium magnet and permendur yoke provide dramatically 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.

The 2M Black Series is the MM flagship from OrtofonThe 2M Black is graced with a Shibata diamond stylus – the same diamond as on the acclaimed MC Jubilee. Its slim highly polished profile allows an exceedingly wide contact area to the groove walls and ensures notably detailed reproduction throughout the spectrum including even the most high frequency groove information.The cartridge body used for the 2M Black is manufactured from a newly-developed Lexan DMX Piano Black a revolutionary material which ensures high rigidity while eliminating unwanted resonances.The 2M Black uses a special upgraded engine featuring split pole pins with a silver plated copper wire.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.Users of the 2M Black will enjoy the benefit of impeccable sound quality along with reduced record & stylus wear and reduced distortion and phase error as a result of the diamond’s improved tracking geometry.2M Black Specifications:Output voltage at 1000 Hz 5cm/sec: 5mVChannel balance at 1kHz: 1 dBChannel separation at 1 kHz: 26 dBChannel separation at 15 kHz: 15 dBFrequency range at - 3 dB: 20-31.000 HzFrequency response: 20-20.000 + 2 / - 0 dBTracking ability at 315Hz at recommended tracking force: 80 micrometersCompliance dynamic lateral: 22 micrometers/mNStylus type: Nude ShibataStylus tip radius: r/R 6/50 micrometersTracking force range: 14-17g (14-17 mN)Tracking force recommended: 15 g (15 mN)Tracking angle: 20 degreesInternal impedance DC resistance: 12 kOhm
