Combining a nude Special Line Contact stylus with a boron cantilever, it is engineered for accurate tracking and high transient response — the qualities that make a great cartridge disappear, leaving only the music. For audiophiles building a serious analog front end, the OC9XSL is a reference-class transducer at a real-world price.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dual moving coil generator uses independent coils for the left and right channels, providing outstanding channel separation and a wide, precisely drawn soundstage. The coils are aligned in a reverse V-shaped formation that exerts less pressure on the stylus, minimizing distortion. A neodymium magnet and permendur yoke deliver dramatically increased magnetic energy, and the aluminum body damps unwanted vibration for reduced resonance and superior audio reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Special Line Contact profile maintains an extremely narrow contact footprint in the groove, retrieving fine high-frequency information while spreading load to reduce record wear. The pre-threaded cartridge body mounts to a headshell or integral tonearm with just two screws — no nuts required — an unusually painless installation for a flagship-grade moving coil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNude Special Line Contact stylus with boron cantilever for accurate tracking and high transient response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual moving coil design with independent left\/right coils for outstanding separation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReverse V-shaped coil formation reduces stylus pressure and minimizes distortion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeodymium magnet and permendur yoke dramatically increase magnetic energy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAluminum body minimizes vibration for reduced resonance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-threaded body mounts with just two screws — no nuts required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: AT-OC9XSL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Dual moving coil (MC) phono cartridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStylus: Nude Special Line Contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCantilever: Boron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagnet system: Neodymium magnet with permendur yoke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Aluminum, pre-threaded half-inch mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 4961310150402\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Audio-Technica","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46574634238149,"sku":"ATH-ATOC9XSL","price":819.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/3085\/3829\/files\/AudioTechnica-ATOC9XSL-TurntableCar_jpg.jpg?v=1784657604","url":"https:\/\/avlgear.com\/products\/audio-technica-at-oc9xsl-moving-coil-cartridge-with-special-line-contact-stylus","provider":"AVLGEAR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
