The AT-ART9XA is a flagship non-magnetic core moving coil cartridge featuring a Shibata stylus on a 0.28mm solid boron cantilever, delivering natural timbre and precise imaging free from magnetic distortion.
- SKU: AT-ART9XA
- Brands: Audio Technica
- Cartridge type: moving coil
An update of the acclaimed AT-ART7, the AT-ART9XA is a non-magnetic core (air core) moving coil cartridge that eliminates magnetic distortion entirely, allowing for a musically natural timbre and exceptional soundstage realism and imaging. A newly designed coil armature delivers an improved 0.2 mV output despite the inherently lower output of non-magnetic-core designs.
The cartridge features a Shibata stylus mounted on a 0.28mm diameter solid boron cantilever for precise tracking and fine musical detail. Its hybrid body combines machined aluminum with high-rigidity polymer to ensure stable playback and minimize unwanted resonances, while dual moving coils aligned in an inverted V shape provide superior fidelity. Frequency response extends to 50,000 Hz with 30 dB channel separation at 1 kHz, and a recommended minimum load impedance of 100 ohms.
Designated an Audio-Technica Excellence Product, the AT-ART9XA carries the ART designation, Audio-Technica Reference Transducer, reserved solely for the brand's flagship phono cartridges, with threaded mounting for secure headshell or tonearm installation.
