Features

Innovative direct power system delivers unsurpassed transient response, resulting in reproduction of even the most subtle sonic details

Special line contact stylus and solid boron cantilever with a 0.2 mm diameter ensure an extremely accurate reading of the record groove

Non-magnetic core coils provide exquisite, full-dimensional audio reproduction

Powerful neodymium magnet and exclusive magnetic circuit with a miniscule 0.6 mm magnetic gap provide remarkably efficient power generation

Magnetic circuit’s titanium base works in combination with the cartridge’s hard plastic cover and aluminum housing to disperse unwanted resonance

PCOCC (Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting) coil enables pure signal transfer


Please Note: AT-ART1000’s stylus assembly is not field-replaceable, but Audio-Technica offers a fee- based Moving Coil Exchange Program to properly service your moving coil cartridge.
