Description
The Audio-Technica AT-ART1000X Direct Power Stereo Moving Coil Cartridge is a flagship moving coil cartridge handcrafted in Japan, featuring an advanced direct power system that places dual coils above the stylus for exceptional detail, improved bass, and accurate sound reproduction. With rectangular PCOCC coils, a line contact stylus on a boron cantilever, and a resonance-reducing titanium base, it delivers highly precise, dynamic, and high-fidelity vinyl playback.

PCOCC Rectangular Coils
Newly designed rectangular non-magnetic PCOCC coils maximize surface area within the magnetic field, improving output voltage and extending low-frequency response for more accurate and dynamic sound reproduction.

Direct Power Coil Design
The Audio-Technica AT-ART1000X Direct Power Stereo Moving Coil Cartridge features dual coils positioned directly above the stylus, reducing signal loss and delivering exceptional detail, fast transient response, and enhanced bass.

Stylus & Boron Cantilever
A high-performance line contact stylus mounted on a solid boron cantilever ensures extremely accurate groove tracking, delivering superior high-frequency clarity while reducing distortion and record wear.

Titanium Construction
A rigid titanium base combined with an aluminum housing and protective coating minimizes unwanted resonance and ensures stable, consistent playback with long-term durability.
Innovative direct power system delivers unsurpassed transient response, resulting in reproduction of even the most subtle sonic details
Newly designed rectangular coils improve the cartridge’s efficiency and extend low-frequency output
Threaded mounting holes make it easy to install cartridge to headshell or integrated tonearm
Special line contact stylus and solid boron cantilever with a 0.26 mm diameter ensure an extremely accurate reading of the record groove
Non-magnetic core coils provide exquisite, full-dimensional audio reproduction
Magnetic circuit’s titanium base works in combination with the cartridge’s hard plastic cover and aluminum housing to disperse unwanted resonance
PCOCC (Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting) coil enables pure signal transfer
Special coating protects the magnetic circuit from corrosion for stable performance throughout the life of the cartridge
Developed and manufactured in Japan by skilled experts
Please Note: AT-ART1000X’s stylus assembly is not field-replaceable, but Audio-Technica offers a fee-based Moving Coil Exchange Program to properly service your moving coil cartridge.
