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.
