The new generation of the famous OC9 series cartridge

Since its launch over 30 years ago, the pioneering cartridge in Audio-Technica’s OC9 series has been praised by audiophiles and professional critics for its build quality, transparency, and audio fidelity. Square cross-section for precise alignment and Shibata stylus for reproducing the finest details.

  • Low-mass elliptical Shibata stylus and aluminum cantilever
  • Neodymium magnet and pure iron yoke for increased magnetic energy
  • Threaded body allowing direct mounting on the headshell or on an integrated tonearm with only two screws, no nut required
  • Aluminum body minimizes unwanted vibrations to avoid resonance and obtain optimal audio reproduction
  • High-quality pure copper (PCOCC) coil to ensure a pure signal

Elliptical Shibata stylus

Elliptical Shibata stylus for more precise tracking of groove modulations compared to a conical stylus, as well as better frequency response and phase correlation, while reducing distortion.

Easy mounting

Threaded body for easy mounting on headshell and integrated tonearm, thanks to two M2.6 screws - no nut required.

Aluminum body

Aluminum body to reduce unwanted resonances

Made in Japan

Produced in Audio-Technica’s Fukui factory in Japan, using high-precision processes under strict quality control.

User reviews

Philippe

Very good cartridge (used as a secondary cartridge on my old Thorens turntable with which I was able to digitize my 45 RPM vinyl records) really very satisfied with the result and I was able to preserve my main cartridge.

Très bonne cellule (utilisée en cellule secondaire sur mon ancienne platine Thorens avec lesquels j'ai pu numériser mes vinyles 45 tours) vraiment très satisfait du résultat et j'ai pu préserver ma cellule principale.
