Dual Moving Coil • Magnetic-Core Generator • Nude Special Line Contact Stylus • Solid-Boron Cantilever • 0.5mV Output • Neodymium Magnet • Permendur Yoke
The Audio-Technica AT-ART9XI Dual Moving Coil Cartridge is a premium magnetic-core moving-coil cartridge engineered to retrieve the subtle musical information contained deep within a record groove. Its nude Special Line Contact stylus is mounted to a 0.28mm solid-boron cantilever, creating a lightweight and highly rigid mechanical system capable of following intricate groove modulation with exceptional precision.
Audio-Technica combines its dual moving-coil generator with a specially designed magnetic circuit featuring a neodymium magnet and permendur yoke. The resulting 0.5mV output makes the AT-ART9XI compatible with a wide selection of quality MC phono stages while maintaining the speed, detail and dynamic expression expected from the ART reference series. A hybrid aluminum and high-rigidity polymer body further controls unwanted resonance for clean, focused analog reproduction.
Magnetic-Core Moving-Coil Architecture — The AT-ART9XI uses Audio-Technica's magnetic-core MC generator architecture to achieve a 0.5mV output while preserving the low moving mass and responsiveness associated with premium moving-coil cartridges.
Special Line Contact Profile — The nude stylus uses a 1.5 × 0.28 mil Special Line Contact profile engineered to trace complex groove information with a large groove-wall contact area and excellent high-frequency performance.
Neodymium Magnet & Permendur Yoke — A specially designed magnetic circuit optimizes energy in the magnetic gap surrounding the generator coils, supporting dynamic reproduction and efficient signal generation.
Threaded Cartridge Body — Threaded mounting holes allow the cartridge to be installed to a compatible headshell or integrated tonearm using only two screws, eliminating the need to position separate mounting nuts during installation.
The AT-ART9XI is a low-output moving-coil cartridge with a 0.5mV rated output. It should be connected to a phono preamplifier or amplifier equipped with a compatible moving-coil input. Proper gain and loading should be selected according to the phono stage manufacturer's instructions.
Audio-Technica specifies a vertical tracking-force range of 1.6 to 2.0 grams, with 1.8 grams as the standard recommended setting.
The AT-ART9XI uses a magnetic-core dual moving-coil generator and produces a higher 0.5mV output. The AT-ART9XA uses a non-magnetic-core generator architecture and has a lower 0.2mV output. Both are premium ART-series moving-coil cartridges but use different generator approaches.
The stylus assembly is not designed as a user-replaceable component. Moving-coil cartridges generally require professional manufacturer service or cartridge replacement/exchange when the stylus reaches the end of its useful life or becomes damaged.
Headshell, step-up transformer, cartridge alignment tools and tracking-force gauge are sold separately unless otherwise specified.
