Audio Technica AT-OC9XML Microlinear MC Cartridge
Audio quality is further enhanced by a rigid aluminum body that reduces resonance, a neodymium magnet and premium permendur yoke that increase the magnetic energy, and the nude Microlinear stylus on a boron cantilever that tracks the record groove with incredible accuracy, low distortion and high-transient response.
The cartridge body has been pre-threaded, enabling it to be mounted to a headshell or integral tonearm with just two screws – no nuts required.
Features
Dual Moving Coil design, featuring independent coils for both left and right channels, provides outstanding channel separation
The coils are aligned in a reverse V-shaped formation, which exerts less pressure on the stylus, thereby minimizing distortion

Nude Microlinear stylus and boron cantilever provide lower distortion and high transient response
A neodymium magnet and a premium permendur yoke with high saturation flux density and outstanding magnetic properties further enhance the concentrated magnetic field of the coil gap
Aluminum body minimizes unwanted vibration for reduced resonance and superior audio reproduction
Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting process (PCOCC) is used for the coils to achieve pure signal transfer
