Description
The Audio-Technica AT-OC9XEN is a high-performance dual moving coil stereo cartridge featuring a low-mass nude elliptical stylus and aluminum cantilever for precise groove tracking and detailed sound reproduction. Its PCOCC copper coils are arranged in a reverse V-shaped formation to improve channel separation and reduce distortion, while the neodymium magnet, pure iron yoke, and rigid aluminum body enhance magnetic energy and minimize unwanted resonance. The pre-threaded cartridge body allows easy two-screw mounting to compatible headshells or tonearms, making it an excellent choice for demanding vinyl enthusiasts and audiophiles.

Precise Tracking & Detailed Sound
The low-mass nude elliptical stylus and aluminum cantilever accurately follow record grooves, delivering excellent channel separation, improved frequency response, high transient detail, and smooth, low-distortion vinyl playback.

Pure Signal & Low Resonance
PCOCC copper coils, a neodymium magnet, pure iron yoke, and rigid aluminum body work together to provide clean signal transmission, increased magnetic energy, reduced resonance, and clear, dynamic audio reproduction.
- Dual Moving Coil design, featuring independent coils for both left and right channels, provides outstanding channel separation.
- The coils are alOhnod in a reverse V-shaped formation, which exerts less pressure on the stylus, thereby. minimizing distortion
- The cartridge body is pre-threaded, enabling it to be mounted onto the headshell or integral tonearm with just two screws – no nuts required.
- Features low mass nude elliptical stylus and aluminum cantilever.
- A neodymium magnet and pure iron yoke provide increased magnetic energy.
- Aluminum body minimizes unwanted vibration for reduced resonance and superior audio reproduction.
- Pure copper by Ohno Continuous Casting process (PCOCC) is used for the coils to achieve pure signal transfer
