Audio-Technica AT-OC9XSL Dual Moving Coil Cartridge

The AT-OC9XSL Dual Moving Coil cartridge with special line
contact stylus is designed to provide outstanding channel separation. The Pure
Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting (PCOCC) coils ensure pure audio transmission
and are aligned in a reverse V-shaped formation to exert less pressure on the
stylus, thereby minimizing distortion. Audio quality is further enhanced by a
rigid aluminum body that reduces resonance, a neodymium magnet and premium
permendur yoke that dramatically increase the magnetic energy, and the nude
special line contact stylus on a boron cantilever that tracks the record groove
with ultimate accuracy, delivering rich, full-range audio and high transient
response. The cartridge body has been pre-threaded, enabling it to be mounted
to a headshell or integral tonearm with just two screws – no nuts required.

• Dual
  Moving Coil design, featuring independent coils for both left and right
  channels, provides outstanding channel separation

• The
  coils are aligned in a reverse V-shaped formation, which exerts less
  pressure on the stylus, thereby minimizing distortion

• The
  cartridge body is pre-threaded, enabling it to be mounted onto the headshell
  or integral tonearm with just two screws – no nuts required

• Features
  nude Special Line Contact stylus and boron cantilever with accurate
  tracking ability and high transient response

• A
  neodymium magnet and permendur yoke provide dramatically increased
  magnetic energy

• Aluminum
  body minimizes unwanted vibration for reduced resonance and superior audio
  reproduction

• Pure
  Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting process (PCOCC) is used for the coils to
  achieve pure signal transfer
