Description
The Audio-Technica AT-OC9XSL is a high-performance dual moving coil stereo cartridge featuring a nude Special Line Contact stylus and boron cantilever for highly accurate groove tracking, detailed sound, and excellent transient response. Its independent left and right coils provide outstanding channel separation, while PCOCC copper coils and a reverse V-shaped alignment help deliver pure signal transfer with reduced distortion. A rigid aluminum body minimizes unwanted resonance, while the neodymium magnet and permendur yoke enhance magnetic energy for rich, full-range audio. The pre-threaded cartridge body allows quick two-screw mounting to compatible headshells or integral tonearms.

Special Line Contact Stylus
The nude Special Line Contact stylus and boron cantilever provide highly accurate groove tracking, delivering rich, detailed sound, excellent transient response, and precise vinyl reproduction.

Pure Audio Performance
Dual moving coils with PCOCC copper coils, a neodymium magnet, and permendur yoke provide excellent channel separation, clean signal transmission, increased magnetic energy, and reduced distortion.
- Dual Moving Coil design, featuring independent coils for both left and right channels, provides outstanding channel separation.
- The coils are aligned 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 nude Special Line Contact stylus and boron cantilever with accurate tracking ability and high transient response.
- A neodymium magnet and permendur yoke provide dramatically 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.
