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. The cartridge's direct power system places the dual moving coil directly on top of the stylus tip, ensuring that the audio quality does not suffer the negative effects normally introduced by the cantilever's length and material type. Having the coils move in such close proximity to the stylus tip allows the cartridge to vividly render even the most subtle sonic details and provide unsurpassed transient response.
Each of the cartridge's two coils is constructed of 20 Ìm diameter PCOCC (Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting) wire, wound eight turns to a diameter of 0.9 mm to create a non-magnetic core coil. The 3-ohm coils are placed in the tiny 0.6 mm gap of a powerful magnetic circuit, enabling each coil to generate an output voltage of 0.2 mV.
The AT-ART1000 features the same high-performance line contact stylus and solid boron cantilever found in the AT-OC9/III, enabling the cartridge to faithfully trace the record groove and reliably transfer the signal to the coils. The base that supports the specialized magnetic circuit and vibration system is made from titanium. This sturdy base is instrumental in providing consistent playback, and works in combination with the cartridge's hard plastic cover and aluminum housing to disperse resonance that negatively affects the sound quality.
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
