Description
The AT-OC9XSL continues the OC9 series tradition at the highest level and is equipped with a Special Line Contact stylus – a cut that is among the most precise and sophisticated of its kind. This stylus sits extremely deep in the record groove, allowing it to capture even the finest musical details. The result is an extended frequency spectrum up to 50,000 Hz, maximum transparency, and an exceptionally natural reproduction.
The boron cantilever with a 0.28 mm diameter offers excellent impulse response due to its rigidity and ensures precise, dynamic sound reproduction. This is supported by the combination of a neodymium magnet and a Permendur yoke, which together generate particularly high magnetic energy, enabling clean, powerful signal conversion .
The aluminum housing minimizes unwanted resonances and ensures that the focus is entirely on the music. For the coils, Audio-Technica uses PCOCC copper wire, which, due to its purity, guarantees lossless signal transmission and thus ensures the highest signal quality.
Like all models in the OC9X series, the AT-OC9XSL is also practically designed: Thanks to the integrated threaded holes, it can be easily and securely mounted to a headshell or integrated tonearm – without additional nuts.
This positions the AT-OC9XSL as the top model in the OC9 series and is the ideal choice for demanding vinyl enthusiasts who value absolute precision, maximum detail, and realistic spatial imaging .
