A new realm of analog sound

Audio-Technica is pleased to introduce the AT-ART20, the latest cartridge in our ART Series that will allow you to experience a new world of sound. As with previous magnetic core cartridges in our high-end lineup, we had two main goals in developing the AT-ART20: provide superlative analog sound reproduction and optimise the performance and benefits of a magnetic core cartridge. Based on cartridge technologies and know-how cultivated over our long history, and employing the best materials and advanced processing techniques, we created a magnetic core moving coil cartridge that’s optimally structured to reproduce sound with the full expressiveness of the original recording.

The high-frequency response of the AT-ART20 is extended and detailed, while the low-frequency sound, which cartridges tend to bury, is reproduced with full clarity and force. Vocals come through with all the variety and expressiveness of the human voice, even at low volumes, and, indeed, the full character of the sound source blossoms anew for the listener, with extended sound depth and rich spatial imaging to convey the original environment of the performance.

Features

  • Provides superlative analog sound reproduction
  • Reproduces sound with the full expressiveness of the original recording
  • Newly designed magnetic circuit improves the cartridge’s efficiency
  • Output voltage is improved by more than 15% without increasing the number of coil turns which can increase mass and impedance.
  • High-quality terminal pins with thick gold plating are approximately 30 times than that of conventional products to reduce contact resistance
  • Constructed of titanium, and aluminum with an elastomer undercover to reduce undesirable resonance
  • Special line contact stylus and solid boron cantilever with a 0.28 mm diameter provide premium high-frequency response with minimal inner-groove distortion for consistent reproduction
  • Utilises the advanced cutting and polishing technologies cultivated in the eyeglass industry of Sabae City, Fukui Prefecture, with history stretching back more than 100 years
  • Threaded cartridge mounting holes allow easy installation to a headshell or integrated tonearm
