Audio Technica AT33xMLD Dual Moving Coil Stereo Cartridge (Pre-Order)

• AT33x Series dual moving coil stereo cartridge with microlinear nude stylus
  
• Brings out the warmth in instruments and the human voice; an excellent choice for playing rock and jazz records, particularly those recorded in the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s 
  
• Dual moving coil design, featuring independent left and right coils, provides outstanding channel separation
  
• PCOCC (Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting) coils provide pure, smooth signal transmission
  
• Neodymium magnet and permendur yoke maximize energy efficiency for high-resolution, responsive playback
  
• Composite cartridge body (die-cast zinc, aluminium, and high-rigidity polymer) reduces resonance throughout the body for balanced, natural sound reproduction
  
• Highly rigid and dense die-cast zinc material is used at the base of the cartridge to suppress unwanted vibrations and improve the expressiveness of the mid-to-low frequency range
  
• Threaded mounting holes make it easier to mount the cartridge to a headshell, especially one integrated into a tonearm
  
• Microlinear nude stylus tracks the record groove with incredible accuracy, providing more nuanced sound reproduction than elliptical and conical styli
  
• High-hardness duralumin tapered pipe cantilever enhances high-frequency control 
  
• Newly developed suspension mechanism and rubber damper design (with lower dynamic compliance than other A-T cartridges) enable the cartridge to be used with a variety of tonearms 
  
• Thick gold plating on the terminal pins reduces contact resistance and enhances sound quality
  
• Crafted and hand-finished by artisans in Japan

Please Note: AT33xMLD’s stylus assembly is not field-replaceable, but Audio-Technica offers a fee-based service. Please contact Groove Audio for more details.
