Audio-Technica ATOC9/III MicroCoil Phono Cartridge

No longer available at zZounds
Composed with a solid boron cantilever for accurate signal transfer and a "VC mold" design for stability, the AT-OC9/III is an audiophile-grade cartridge.

Audio-Technica's AT-OC9/III MicroCoil Cartridge features a special line contact stylus embedded into a low-profile solid boron cantilever, ensuring the music signals read by the tip of the stylus are transmitted reliably to the coils. The cartridge's "VC mold" design ensures stability and rigidity while the dual moving coil offers excellent stereo separation and improved frequency response for long-lasting performance. The use of PCOCC wire (Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting), a special copper with virtually no transverse crystal barriers to impede signal transmission, perfects the performance of the advanced dual coil design.
