Description

Audio Technica AT-OC9XEN Dual Moving Coil Stereo Cartridge - Elliptical Nude

The Audio Technica AT-OC9XEN dual moving coil stereo cartridge represents the next generation of the legendary OC9 cartridge series. Praised for over 30 years by discerning vinyl enthusiasts and professional critics alike, the OC9 series is renowned for its musical transparency, expressive sound, and meticulous construction. The AT-OC9XEN features a square shank for precise stylus alignment and a nude diamond for enhanced fine detail retrieval.

Elliptical Nude Stylus
The elliptical diamond stylus meticulously tracks the groove modulation with exceptional precision, surpassing the performance of a conical stylus. This results in improved frequency and phase responses, along with reduced distortion, providing an enriched listening experience.

Easy Mounting
The cartridge body features threaded holes, enabling easy mounting onto a headshell or integral tonearm using just two screws (M2.6), without the need for additional nuts or bolts.

Aluminium Body
Constructed from aluminium, the cartridge body effectively minimises unwanted vibrations, thereby reducing resonance and enhancing overall audio reproduction quality.

Made in Japan
Manufactured in the Audio-Technica Fukui factory in Japan, the AT-OC9XEN undergoes stringent quality control measures to ensure precise manufacturing standards are met.

Please Note: Moving coil cartridges require receivers or preamps with compatible inputs; their stylus assemblies are not field-replaceable.

Key Features

  • Features low mass nude elliptical stylus and aluminium cantilever
  • A neodymium magnet and pure iron yoke provide increased magnetic energy
  • Threaded inserts in the cartridge body enable the cartridge to be mounted on to the headshell or integral tonearm with just two screws – no nuts required 
  • Aluminium body minimizes unwanted vibration for reduced resonance and a superior audio reproduction
  • Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting process (PCOCC) is used for the coils to achieve the purest signal possible
