Audio-Technica - AT6112x - Headshell Lead Wires

29 strands of 7N-Class Dia Ultra Crystallised Copper — among the highest-grade conductors in the world. The Audio-Technica AT6112x headshell lead wires deliver the smallest musical nuances with remarkable resolution, preserving every detail your cartridge captures from the groove.

Where the Signal Begins — and Where Quality Matters Most

The signal generated by a phono cartridge is one of the most delicate in all of audio — measured in millivolts, extraordinarily low in level, and highly susceptible to any degradation in the conductors that carry it. The four tiny wires between your cartridge pins and your headshell are the very first link in the vinyl playback chain, and the AT6112x exists to make that link as transparent and resolving as possible.

Featuring 29 strands of 0.12mm 7N-Class Dia Ultra Crystallised Copper — among the highest-grade conductor materials available anywhere in the world — the AT6112x delivers the smallest musical nuances with a level of resolution and faithfulness that lesser leadwires simply cannot match. This is not a marginal upgrade. It is a fundamental improvement to the most signal-critical connection in your turntable system.

7N-Class Dia Ultra Crystallised Copper

The designation 7N refers to 99.99999% purity — seven nines of copper purity, compared to the six nines of the AT6108's 6N-OFCC conductors. At this level of refinement, the differences are measurable not just in laboratory conditions but in listening — in the retrieval of fine inner detail, the stability and precision of the stereo image, and the sense of ease and naturalness with which the music flows.

Dia Ultra Crystallised processing further reduces the grain boundaries within the copper crystal structure — the microscopic boundaries between crystals where signal degradation occurs. The result is a conductor that behaves more like a single crystal than a conventional strand, with an openness and resolution that brings you closer to the original performance.

Combined with a 29-strand, 0.12mm construction that provides the ideal balance of flexibility and conductivity for tonearm use, the AT6112x represents the state of the art in headshell leadwire design.

An Essential Upgrade for Serious Listeners

For those who have invested in a high-quality cartridge and tonearm, the AT6112x is a logical and highly rewarding upgrade — ensuring that the signal those components work so hard to extract from the groove is transferred to the phono stage with the minimum possible loss or coloration. Colour-coded for easy and error-free installation, the AT6112x makes a meaningful contribution to the performance of any turntable system.
