Description
Audio-Technica AT-ART20 Dual Moving Coil Stereo Cartridge
Audio-Technica is pleased to introduce the AT-ART20, the latest cartridge in our ART Series that will allow you to experience a new world of sound. As with previous magnetic core cartridges in our high-end lineup, we had two main goals in developing the AT-ART20: provide superlative analog sound reproduction and optimize the performance and benefits of a magnetic core cartridge.
FEATURES
- Provides superlative analog sound reproduction
- Reproduces sound with the full expressiveness of the original recording
- Newly designed magnetic circuit improves the cartridge’s efficiency
- Output voltage is improved by more than 15% without increasing the number of coil turns which can increase mass and impedance.
- High-quality terminal pins with thick gold plating are approximately 30 times than that of conventional products to reduce contact resistance
- Constructed of titanium, and aluminum with an elastomer undercover to reduce undesirable resonance
- Special line contact stylus and solid boron cantilever with a 0.28 mm diameter provide premium high-frequency response with minimal inner-groove distortion for consistent reproduction
- Utilizes the advanced cutting and polishing technologies cultivated in the eyeglass industry of Sabae City, Fukui Prefecture, with history stretching back more than 100 years
- Threaded cartridge mounting holes allow easy installation to a headshell or integrated tonearm
