Equipped with a special line contact stylus on a 0.28mm diameter solid boron cantilever, AT-ART9XI stands as Audio-Technica's flagship magnetic-core MC cartridge and offers the kind of desirable performance to support its status. Providing superb spatial representation, accuracy across the frequency spectrum, and terrific energy, it boasts a powerful 0.5mV output voltage and compatibility with practically any system. At once delicate and dynamic, it leverages a neodymium magnet, permendur yoke, and hybrid body to play back vinyl LPs with involving emotionalism, detail, and presence.

As one of the company's only top-of-the-line ART (Audio-Technica Reference Transducer) models, AT-ART9XA uses dual moving coils built from PCOCC wire aligned in an inverted "V" shape for exceptionally wide responsiveness and remarkable clarity. For ease of use, threaded cartridge-mounting holes help make installation easy and hassle-free, while its machined aluminum base supports both the magnetic circuit and vibration system for requisite stability and ultra-low distortion.
