Audio-Technica AT-OC9XEN Dual Moving Coil Cartridge

Description

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
