Dual Moving Coil Design: The AT-OC9XEN utilizes a dual moving coil design, featuring independent coils for both left and right channels. This configuration provides outstanding channel separation, ensuring that stereo imaging and sound clarity are significantly enhanced. The result is a more immersive and accurate listening experience, capturing every nuance of your vinyl records.

Reverse V-Shaped Coil Alignment: The cartridge’s coils are aligned in a reverse V-shaped formation. This alignment is specifically designed to exert less pressure on the stylus, thereby minimizing distortion and improving overall sound quality. By reducing the pressure on the stylus, the cartridge enhances tracking accuracy and reduces unwanted noise.

Rigid Aluminum Body: Constructed from rigid aluminum, the AT-OC9XEN’s body minimizes unwanted vibrations and resonance. This design choice is crucial for maintaining pure audio reproduction, as it reduces interference and enhances the overall sound fidelity. The aluminum body contributes to a stable and clear audio output, providing a high level of performance.

Neodymium Magnet and Pure Iron Yoke: The cartridge features a neodymium magnet and pure iron yoke. These components increase the magnetic energy, which is essential for accurate signal transmission and improved audio clarity. The combination of these materials ensures that the cartridge delivers robust and detailed sound reproduction.

Low-Mass Nude Elliptical Stylus: Equipped with a low-mass nude elliptical stylus, the AT-OC9XEN tracks the record groove with precision. Mounted on an aluminum cantilever, the stylus accurately follows the grooves of the vinyl, capturing intricate details and delivering a high-fidelity listening experience. The elliptical shape of the stylus helps to reduce distortion and enhance sound quality.

Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting (PCOCC) Coils: The coils in the AT-OC9XEN are made from Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting (PCOCC). This advanced material is known for its excellent signal transfer properties. The use of PCOCC in the coils ensures pure and clear audio transmission, enhancing the overall performance of the cartridge.

Easy Mounting: The cartridge body is pre-threaded, allowing for easy mounting onto a headshell or integral tonearm with just two screws. This feature simplifies installation, as no additional nuts are required. The straightforward mounting process ensures that you can quickly and securely attach the cartridge to your turntable.

Non-Field-Replaceable Stylus Assembly: Please note that the AT-OC9XEN’s stylus assembly is not field-replaceable. However, Audio-Technica offers a fee-based Moving Coil Exchange Program to service your moving coil cartridge. This program ensures that you can maintain the performance and longevity of your cartridge with professional servicing.
