Description
With the AT-OC9XSH, Audio-Technica presents a moving coil cartridge that stands out due to its nude Shibata stylus. This cut allows for particularly deep and precise tracking of the record groove and ensures rich bass, crystal-clear highs, and maximum detail reproduction.
The 0.28 mm diameter boron cantilever offers precise impulse response due to its extreme rigidity, ensuring that every nuance of a recording is reproduced with the highest accuracy. This is complemented by the use of a neodymium magnet in combination with a permendur yoke – an iron-cobalt alloy that provides particularly high magnetic energy. The result: powerful dynamics, great spatiality, and minimal distortion.
The housing is made of aluminum, which reliably reduces unwanted vibrations. This ensures particularly clean, resonance-free audio reproduction. Audio-Technica uses PCOCC copper wire for the coils, which, due to its purity, ensures loss-free signal transmission.
Like all models in the OC9X series, the AT-OC9XSH also features integrated threaded holes, allowing for quick and easy mounting to a headshell or integrated tonearm – without additional nuts.
Thus, the AT-OC9XSH offers a perfect combination of Shibata precision, boron technology, and state-of-the-art coil design – for demanding listeners who want to enjoy their records with the highest level of detail.
