Dual MC cartridges have separate coils for the left and right channels, making them uncommon compared to conventional designs. Audio-Technica designed it this way to create greater channel separation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOther standout features of this cartridge include a lightweight and rigid boron cantilever and a nude MicroLine stylus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis cartridge is mounted on an AT-LH13H headshell. This headshell impressed us with its build quality and sleek design. It also offers a pretty unique overhang adjustment where the headshell slides on a collar. Please note that there is no zenith adjustment on this headshell; it is designed for cartridges to be mounted parallel with the front. Azimuth can be adjusted at the side. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Cartridge will be alighned on its headshell for Techncis Turntables.

We then perform a light cleaning with specialized agents and very carefully blow dry with compressed air.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollowing that, we conduct a thorough examination using our Wild Heerbrugg professional microscope. From there we can asses the wear and quality of the stylus and determine how much use it has seen, and if there are any mechanical issues. We can also identify if it needs further cleaning or care.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe then move the cartridge to a digital microscope where we take photos of the cantilever and stylus for future reference.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNext we move to the test bench where we can check for continuity of each channel and resistance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn certain cartridges (or if the technician feels necessary) we install the cartridge on a turntable and run several test records to ascertain tacking ability, distortion, and compliance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Audio-Technica","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67620568203518,"sku":"108120","price":490.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0003\/3275\/9084\/files\/audio-technica-at-oc9xml-mc-cartridge-w-lh13h-head-shell-for-technics-tables-phono-588.jpg?v=1790709738","url":"https:\/\/skyfiaudio.com\/products\/audio-technica-at-oc9xml-mc-cartridge-w-at-lh13h-head-shell-for-technics-tables","provider":"SkyFi Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
