Overview of Audio-Technica Consumer AT-ART1000 Direct Power Stereo MC Cartridge
The AT-ART1000 (“ART” for Audio-Technica Reference Transducer) is Audio-Technica’s new flagship phono cartridge, handmade in Japan. Born of the pursuit of audio excellence that has driven A-T for more than 50 years, the AT-ART1000 introduces an innovative, audiophile design heretofore unseen in mass-produced cartridges.
Features
Innovative direct power system delivers unsurpassed transient response, resulting in reproduction of even the most subtle sonic details
Special line contact stylus and solid boron cantilever with a 0.26 mm diameter ensure an extremely accurate reading of the record groove
Non-magnetic core coils provide exquisite, full-dimensional audio reproduction
Powerful neodymium magnet and exclusive magnetic circuit with a miniscule 0.6 mm magnetic gap provide remarkably efficient power generation
Magnetic circuit’s titanium base works in combination with the cartridge’s hard plastic cover and aluminum housing to disperse unwanted resonance
PCOCC (Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting) coil enables pure signal transfer
