The Audio-Technica AT-ART9XI stands as the company's flagship moving coil cartridge, earning recognition as an Excellence Product for uncompromising high-fidelity performance. Dual moving coils arranged in an inverted V configuration deliver exceptional channel separation and minimal distortion. A specialized line contact stylus mounted on a 0.28mm solid boron cantilever ensures faithful signal reproduction with superior tracking characteristics. The optimized magnetic circuit—featuring neodymium magnets and permendur yoke—generates 0.5mV output, enabling dynamic playback of even the most nuanced musical passages. PCOCC coils and a machined aluminum base with hybrid construction minimize parasitic resonance, guaranteeing stable, accurate reproduction across your vinyl collection.
