Audio Technica AT-OC9XML Microlinear Moving Coil Cartridge

Audio Technica AT-OC9XML Microlinear Moving Coil Cartridge Description

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. Microlinear complex diamond profile enabling higher frequency response, detail like never before experienced and limiting inner groove distortion. Microlinear diamond profile provides low record and stylus wear.

Microlinear diamond profile offers high frequency response with less wear and distortion than elliptical or conventional linear contact styli. Threaded holes in the cartridge body enable the cartridge to be easily mounted on to the headshell, or integral tonearm, with just two screws M2.6 – no nuts or bolts required.

An aluminium body minimizes unwanted vibration for reduced resonance and superior audio reproduction. The AT-OC9XML cartridge is produced in the Audio-Technica Fukui factory in Japan under strict quality control for precise manufacturing.
