Audio-Technica Direct Power Moving Coil Cartridge AT-ART1000X

Audio-Technica’s transducer and cartridge technologies are acclaimed both in Japan and worldwide not only for their engineering precision and audio quality but also for their ability to provide a heightened listening experience.

The AT-ART1000 direct power stereo MC cartridge used a novel structure with the generator coils placed just above the stylus tip. This follow-up model, the AT-ART1000X, takes this philosophy and design to another level. A more refined direct power system enables three-dimensional spatial expression.

The AT-ART1000X has been developed, and manufactured in Japan, utilizing cutting-edge materials and design elements.
