The name “ART” in the model number stands for Audio-Technica Reference Transducer, a designation we give only to our reference phono cartridges.
The specifically designed magnetic circuit offers an output voltage of 0.5 mV (1 kHz, 5 cm/s), making the capsule easy to use and capable of reproducing even the most subtle expressions, while which guarantees a dynamic sound.
The dual voice coils (made from high-performance PCOCC wire) are aligned in an inverted V shape to provide high separation and wide response for clear sound localization and minimal distortion.
Threaded cartridge mounting holes make installation into a headshell or integrated tonearm an incredibly simple process.
