Audio-Technica AT-OC9XSH Dual Moving Coil Cartridge

Description

The AT-OC9XSH Dual Moving Coil cartridge with Shibata 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
increase the magnetic energy, and the nude Shibata stylus on a boron cantilever
that tracks the record groove with incredible 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 Shibata stylus and boron cantilever for rich full-range audio
  reproduction 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
