The Audio-Technica AT33xEN is a dual moving coil stereo cartridge with a 0.3 × 0.7 mil elliptical nude stylus, duralumin tapered pipe cantilever, PCOCC coils, a neodymium magnet with permendur yoke, and a composite body with a die-cast zinc base to reduce resonance. Warm, full-bodied sound with a wide range of recordings. Crafted and hand-finished by artisans in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Latest Update to a Venerable Series\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe AT33x Series is the first extensive overhaul of the AT33 line in years. Through technological and material improvements, it brings new warmth and fullness to your favourite music. The headline change is the first use of die-cast zinc at the base of the cartridge, which wards off unwanted resonance and improves expressiveness in the mid to low frequencies, while still letting you hear the finest details across the audio spectrum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe AT33xEN is an excellent all-round cartridge choice, delivering warm, full-bodied audio reproduction that suits a wide variety of recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eElliptical Nude Stylus on a Duralumin Tapered Pipe Cantilever\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe AT33xEN features a 0.3 × 0.7 mil elliptical nude stylus, attached to a hard duralumin tapered pipe cantilever. The stylus tracks the record groove with accuracy, and the cantilever provides enhanced high-frequency control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA Newly Developed Suspension\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA newly developed suspension mechanism uses piano wire for even better tracking accuracy. Together with the rubber damper design, it gives the AT33xEN a slightly lower dynamic compliance than other Audio-Technica cartridges, resulting in more substantial sound, particularly in the mid-low range. It also means the cartridge can be used with a variety of tonearms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eDual Moving Coil — Independent Left and Right Coils\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe dual moving coil design uses independent left and right coils, which provides outstanding channel separation. The coils are made from PCOCC (Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting) for pure, smooth signal transmission. A neodymium magnet and permendur yoke maximise energy efficiency, for high-resolution, responsive playback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA Composite Body That Fights Resonance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe cartridge body combines die-cast zinc, aluminium and a high-rigidity polymer, which reduces resonance throughout the body for balanced, natural sound reproduction. Highly rigid, dense die-cast zinc at the base suppresses unwanted vibrations and improves the expressiveness of the mid-to-low frequency range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBuilt to Be Mounted Properly\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThreaded mounting holes (M2.6) make it easier to mount the cartridge to a headshell, especially one that is integrated into a tonearm. Thick gold plating on the terminal pins reduces contact resistance and enhances sound quality. A non-magnetic screwdriver, brush, washers, mounting screws in three lengths and a protector are all included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCrafted in Japan\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEvery AT33xEN is crafted and hand-finished by artisans in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePlease Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe AT33xEN's stylus assembly is not field-replaceable. Audio-Technica offers a fee-based Moving Coil Exchange Program to properly service your moving coil cartridge.
