Seated atop the entry-level range of classic Oysters, our classic Pearl phono cartridge has been dazzling listeners for decades. Physically compatible with most tonearms on the market and a perfect fit for any MM system, it’s a reminder that one doesn’t have to exhaust their budget to achieve next-level sound quality. Dynamic yet smooth and incredibly musical, it’s an evenly-balanced cartridge with enticing highs, decisive mids & deep, well-rounded bass. Pearl introduces our 0.3 x 0.7mil elliptical stylus, heightening detail retrieval, adding brilliance & improving on the stereo imaging of its sibling Black Pearl.
Building on Rainier, Olympia implements an upgraded cantilever assembly that reduces moving mass, translating to more nimble groove tracing, extended nuance and expanded frequency response. A slight decrease in output from Rainier reduces noise in an already-quiet design, improving imaging and perpetuating realism that’s rare to come by in this class of cartridge.
Rainier introduces our latest range of Oysters, which raise the bar for what can be expected from reasonably-priced MM cartridges. Our resonance-optimized housing was developed & selected for the voicing that it lends. The resonance properties create a well-represented soundstage with fantastic clarity with an overlaying warmth. Impressively quiet while delivering impact, Rainier skillfully places instruments & vocals right where they belong. You can expect a broader, rounder soundstage than you previously thought attainable at this price.
This elliptical bonded stylus makes it easy to upgrade the sound quality of any turntable equipped with an ATN3600L or ATN3600LC conical stylus, such as the turntables in our popular AT-LP60X series. Modeled after the venerable ATN3600L, which has sold by the millions and been trusted by countless music lovers for more than 50 years, the ATN3600LE features a 0.3 x 0.7 elliptical stylus for enhanced sound quality while remaining reliable and easy to use. Audio-Technica has been perfecting the art of transducer technology since our first handcrafted phono cartridge in 1962.
