The new generation of the famous OC9 series cartridges

The AT-OC9XSL stands out with its dual moving coil design, featuring independent coils for the left and right channels, ensuring remarkable channel separation. The coils are arranged in an inverted V formation, exerting less pressure on the stylus and minimizing distortion. The cartridge body is pre-threaded, allowing for easy installation on the headshell or tonearm with only two screws, without requiring nuts.

The Special Line Contact stylus and boron cantilever provide precise tracking ability and high transient response. A neodymium magnet and permendur yoke significantly increase magnetic energy, while the aluminum body minimizes unwanted vibrations for superior audio reproduction. The coils use pure copper obtained through the Ohno Continuous Casting (PCOCC) process, ensuring pure signal transfer.

Audio Performance

The AT-OC9XSL offers an extended frequency response from 20 to 50,000 Hz, ensuring faithful reproduction of the entire sound spectrum. The channel separation of 28 dB at 1 kHz and a vertical tracking angle of 20° guarantee precise stereo imaging and a wide soundstage. The recommended vertical tracking force is 1.8 to 2.2 g, with 2.0 g as the standard, allowing for optimal tracking without damaging vinyl records.

Japanese Craftsmanship

The OC9XSL cartridge is meticulously manufactured at Audio-Technica’s Fukui factory in Japan. Each production step undergoes strict quality control, ensuring flawless performance and uncompromising reliability.

Serge

still breaking in, and yet it has nothing to envy my old HANA ML cartridge, which costs almost twice as much
I recommend this cartridge

encore en rodage et pourtant elle n'a rien a envier a mon ancienne cellule HANA ML qui coute presque 2 fois plus cher
je recommande cette cellule

Made in Japan, AT has existed since 1962 and is considered the largest supplier of MM & MC cartridges with unbeatable price/quality. I just switched from an Ortofon M2 Black MM to this MC and I absolutely do not regret it.
