AIR TIGHT - PC-1 MC PHONO CARTRIDGE

The Air Tight PC-1 MC Cartridge Sets New Standards for LP Playback!

Air Tight Wins The Absolute Sound Golden Ear Award for 2007!

Combining incredible dynamics, amazing detail retrieval and a sense of true musicality, the Air Tight PC-1 Moving Coil Phono Cartridge is one of the world’s finest designs.  A “work-in-progress” for over 30 years, the new Air Tight PC-1 has set a new standard for the reproduction of analog recordings.

The PC-1 is capable of stunning dynamic range with extremely high resolution; achieving exquisite detail reproduction while preserving the natural warmth and musicality that all analog lovers crave.  The perception of the original recorded event is virtually unparalleled. 

A “High Output/Low Impedance” design, the PC-1 is an exemplary design that uses a proprietary magnet material in the generator, allowing a remarkable reduction in coil windings (reducing the “loss” of fine detail) yet still producing a very useable 0.6mV output. 

After 30 years, the dream has been realized!
