- Elliptical, gripped needle with aluminum needle carrier
- Neodymium magnet and pure iron yoke for higher magnetic energy
- Aluminum housing minimizes unwanted vibrations - for lower resonances and excellent audio reproduction
- Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting (PCOCC): High-purity coil wire for the best possible signal quality
Excellent, cost-effective entry into the world of moving coil pickups.
The AT-OC9X series is the latest generation of the successful AT-OC9 series from Audio-Technica, the pioneers in the field of phono cartridges.
The new pickups are offered with different stylus types: Elliptical/Casted, Elliptical/Naked, Microlinear, Shibata and Special Line Contact.
Moving coil pickup with wide frequency response and excellent channel separation (allocation of audio information for the left and right channels) - for a particularly clean stereo image.
Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting (PCOCC): High-purity coil wire for the best possible signal quality.
Threaded holes in the pickup housing for quick, easy installation on a headshell or integrated tonearm with just two M2.6 screws - no nuts.
