AT-OC9XSG CARTRIDGE -
AUDIO TECHNICA
The next Generation of
the legendary OC9 cartridge series!
Since its introduction
more than 30 years ago, Audio-Technica’s pioneering
moving coil OC9 cartridge series has been prized by demanding vinyl listeners
and professional critics alike for its musical transparency, expression of
sound and precise construction. Shibata profile diamond originally design for
Quadraphonic replay offers a depth of sound, combined with high frequency
response that has to be heard to be believed.
Features nude Shibata
stylus and boron cantilever with rich low frequency reproduction and high
transient response.
A neodymium magnet and permendur yoke provides dramatically increased magnetic
energy.
Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting process (PCOCC) is used for the
coils to achieve pure signal transfer.
Shibata Stylus: Provides
a beautiful mid-high range Shibata-signature sound and strong mid-range volume.
Easy mounting: Threaded
holes in the cartridge body enable the cartridge to be mounted on to the headshell, or integral tonearm, with just two screws M2.6 –
no nuts or bolts required.
Aluminium Body: Aluminum body minimizes unwanted vibration for reduced
resonance and superior audio reproduction
