About the ART9
The Audio-Technica AT-ART9 is a premium magnetic core moving coil (MC) cartridge designed for the highest quality sound reproduction. It utilizes the vibration system, neodymium magnet, and permendur yoke from the AT-OC9/III MicroCoil cartridge. Featuring a special line contact stylus with a 40 µm × 7 µm curvature radius and a 0.26 mm diameter solid boron cantilever, it enables extremely accurate reading of record grooves and faithful signal transfer. The dual moving coil system, made with high-performance PCOCC wire, offers excellent stereo separation and wide frequency response. The hybrid body of machined aluminum and hard plastic reduces unwanted resonance, supported by a machined aluminum base for stable playback. The cartridge has a VC mold design to ensure stability and reduce distortion.
