A new realm of analog sound Magnetic Core MC with a Superb Sound
The ART series of cartridges from Audio-Technica that will allow you to experience a new world of sound. By making full use of our cartridge technology and know-how cultivated over many years, we have created a cartridge that allows deep analog enjoyment through advanced processing,
optimum construction, and a design that sets itself apart while employing the best materials. They also seek to achieve a better acoustic sound,
and to realize the expressiveness of live performance that air-core types excel at, even with an iron-core type. With these propositions in mind,
they have developed an iron-core cartridge that lives up to the name of our high-end lineup.
High frequencies are extended well and sound bright, and low frequency sounds, which tend to be buried, are played as if they are transmitted from the ground. Vocals can be heard in a wide range of vocal qualities, and even at low volumes, the high level of expression is maintained.
The system also excels at expressing emotions that match the sound source, such as bouncy, energetic, and joyful sentiments,
as well as devilish descriptions. It is also characterized by a rich spatial expression that expands the depth and
conveys a sense of the size of the hall in which the performance is taking place.
Provides superlative analog sound reproduction.
Reproduces sound with the full expressiveness of the original recording.
Newly designed magnetic circuit improves the cartridge’s efficiency.
Output voltage is improved by more than 15% without increasing the number of coil turns which can increase mass and impedance.
High-quality terminal pins with thick gold plating are approximately 30 times than that of conventional products to reduce contact resistance.
Constructed of titanium, and aluminum with an elastomer undercover to reduce undesirable resonance.
Special line contact stylus and solid boron cantilever with a 0.28 mm diameter provide a premium high-frequency response with minimal inner-groove distortion for consistent reproduction.
Utilizes the advanced cutting and polishing technologies cultivated in the eyeglass industry of Sabae City, Fukui Prefecture, with a history stretching back more than 100 years.
Threaded cartridge mounting holes allow easy installation to a headshell or integrated tonearm.
