The Audio-Technica AT33xMLB is a dual moving coil stereo cartridge pairing a nude Microlinear stylus with a solid tapered boron cantilever, two independent PCOCC coils positioned at the cantilever's fulcrum, a neodymium magnet with permendur yoke, and a three-material composite body with a die-cast zinc base to disperse resonance.

The cantilever tapers toward the stylus tip for improved response, and it is paired with a firm suspension mechanism that slightly lowers the dynamic compliance. The Microlinear profile is designed to trace the groove with precision and retrieve fine detail across the audio spectrum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eDual Moving Coil — Two Independent PCOCC Coils\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eLike every cartridge in the AT33x Series, the AT33xMLB has a dual moving coil design. Two independent coils, one for each channel, are made from PCOCC (Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting) and sit at the cantilever's fulcrum. That position helps ensure pure signal transmission for each channel, and the independent coils give outstanding channel separation. A neodymium magnet and permendur yoke create a strong magnetic field, maximising generating efficiency for responsive, high-resolution playback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA Composite Body That Disperses Resonance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe body of every AT33x cartridge is made from three different materials, arranged to reduce and disperse resonance across the whole structure so that no frequency predominates during playback:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDie-cast zinc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAluminium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-rigidity polymer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHighly rigid, dense die-cast zinc at the base suppresses unwanted vibration and improves the expressiveness of the mid-to-low frequency range, giving a balanced, natural presentation that doesn't favour particular frequencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA Suspension That Suits Many Tonearms\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA newly developed suspension mechanism and rubber damper design give the AT33x Series a lower dynamic compliance than other Audio-Technica cartridges, which lets the cartridge be used with a variety of tonearms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEasy to Mount\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThreaded mounting holes (M2.6) mean you only need two screws to mount the cartridge, which is especially helpful with an integrated headshell or tonearm.
