High-Performance Model: Unleashing the Full Charm of Mono Records
Deep, Vivid, and Resonant within a Boundless Sea of Sound.
The AT33 series represents Audio-Technica’s legendary dual-coil MC cartridges, with a heritage dating back to the AT34—the integrated headshell MC cartridge born in 1977.
Evolving through the decades, Audio-Technica now introduces the culmination of its analog expertise: the completely revitalized "AT33x Series."
To provide a seamless listening experience, we have concentrated every essential function—from input to output—within this compact, refined body.
This marks the first full model change in 11 years since 2014. The lineup features five distinguished models: the AT33xMLB, AT33xMLD, and AT33xEN stereo cartridges, alongside the AT33xMONO/I and AT33xMONO/II mono cartridges.
Leveraging decades of expertise, we have introduced a Zinc Die-cast base for the first time. By pairing carefully selected materials with precision machining, we have achieved the ideal structural integrity.
Beyond the hallmark delicacy and high resolution of Audio-Technica MC cartridges, we have pursued a balanced, wide-band audio profile. High-density mid-to-low range reproduction provides a stable and deep resonance.
Vocals gain a new level of warmth, resulting in a natural and comfortable tone—Audio-Technica's goal is to create products with a truly unique soul.
Born from refined technology, the reborn AT33x series leads you into the depths of sound, immersing you in a sea of audio that envelops your entire space.
Exquisite Technology, Awakening the Essence of Sound
TRUE MONO Structure: Horizontal-Only Signal Generation
Featuring a dedicated power generation coil designed specifically for the grooves of monaural records, this cartridge responds only to horizontal vibrations. Because it is immune to vertical noise components, it delivers audio of exceptional purity.
▶️High-Rigidity Duralumin Pipe Cantilever Utilizes a Duralumin pipe cantilever, which offers superior hardness compared to standard aluminum. It achieves a dense, full-bodied, and highly expressive reproduction.
▶️Integrated Conical Stylus: Optimized for Mono Records Perfectly suited for mono records where groove width and depth are constant, focusing on a rich, substantial performance in the mid-to-low frequencies.
▶️Advanced Suspension and Rubber Damping Dynamic compliance is fine-tuned to expand tonearm compatibility, allowing users more freedom in sonic customization.
▶️Zinc Die-cast Base and Hybrid Body A combination of Zinc Die-cast, Aluminum, and Hard Resin effectively disperses resonance for a balanced, natural tone.
- ▶️PCOCC Coils & Thick Gold-Plated Terminals
- ▶️Neodymium Magnet & Permendur Yoke
- ▶️Specialized Mono MC Magnetic Circuit
Improved Convenience: Integrated Threaded Mounting Holes
Compatible with the "integrated tonearms" widely used globally. Threaded holes make mounting significantly easier, as no separate nuts are required.
▶️Made in Japan Quality & Eco-Friendly Packaging
Handcrafted by Japanese artisans, ensuring a level of precision that automation cannot match. The packaging is 100% plastic-free and recyclable.
