Audio Technica AT-OC9XEN MC Cartridge

• AT-OC9XEN
• The next Generation of the legendary OC9 cartridge series
• Since its introduction more than 30 years ago, Audio-Technica’s pioneering moving coil OC9 cartridge series has been prized by demanding vinyl listeners and professional critics alike for its musical transparency, expression of sound and precise construction. Featuring a square shank for accurate stylus alignment and nude diamond for increased fine detail retrieval.
• Features low mass nude elliptical stylus and aluminium cantilever
• A neodymium magnet and pure iron yoke provide increased magnetic energy
• Threaded inserts in the cartridge body enable the cartridge to be mounted on to the headshell or integral tonearm with just two screws – no nuts required 
• Aluminium body minimizes unwanted vibration for reduced resonance and a superior audio reproduction
• Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting process (PCOCC) is used for the coils to achieve the purest signal possible
• Elliptical Nude Stylus
• Elliptical diamond stylus follows the groove modulation with greater precision compared to a conical stylus, offering improved frequency and phase responses whilst reducing distortion.
• Easy mounting
• Threaded holes in the cartridge body enable the cartridge to be mounted on to the headshell, or integral tonearm, with just two screws M2.6 – no nuts or bolts required.
• Aluminium Body
• Aluminum body minimizes unwanted vibration for reduced resonance and superior audio reproduction
• Made in Japan
• Produced in the Audio-Technica Fukui factory in Japan under strict quality control for precise manufacturing.
