The AT-OC9XEN dual MC Phono Cartridge from Audio Technica is one of the more affordable versions of the highly-rated OC9X cartridges that has swapped the boron cantilever that is used on the higher models for an aluminium pipe design, paired with a nude square shank elliptical stylus which attains excellent channel separation.

For top-class sound quality, the body is crafted from rigid aluminium that lowers any potential resonance whilst a neodymium magnet paired with a permedur yoke significantly augments magnetic energy. The nude elliptical stylus is capable of tracking the vinyl record groove with superior precision to give you, the listener, a rich full-range signal and greater transient response.

The AT-OC9XEN cartridge employs pure copper coils that are formed with a continuous casting process for great audio performance. The coils are configured in a reverse V shape orientation that experts less pressure on the elliptical stylus to reduce any distortion. The pre-threaded cartridge can easily be fixed to a headshell or integral tonearm without the need for nuts, only screws.

Features:
  • Dual MC design with independent L/R coils for outstanding channel separation
  • Aligned coils in a reverse V-shape which exerts less pressure on the stylus
  • The cartridge body is pre-threaded for mounting on headshell or integral tonearm
  • Nude elliptical stylus and aluminium cantilever provide lower distortion and high transient response
  • A neodymium magnet and permendur yoke provide dramatically increased magnetic energy
  • The aluminium body lowers unwanted vibration for reduced resonance and better audio
  • Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting process for coils achieve pure signal transfer
