The Audio-Technica ART-1000X is Audio-Technica's most advanced and technologically ambitious moving coil cartridge — a tour-de-force of transducer engineering that redefines what an MC cartridge is capable of. At the heart of the ART-1000X is a uniquely engineered direct-power generator: instead of attaching the coil to the cantilever (as in conventional MC design), the coil itself is positioned at the stylus tip, as close to the groove as physically possible. The result is a vanishingly low-mass moving system with an extraordinary ability to trace groove modulations accurately at all frequencies and dynamic levels.
-
Direct-power generator design — coil at the stylus tip for minimum effective mass
-
Precision diamond stylus for the most accurate groove-wall contact possible
-
Extraordinary transient response — reveals detail and timing information no conventional MC design can access
-
Hand-built and measured at Audio-Technica's flagship Japanese facility
-
Ideal partner for Whest Audio TITAN Pro II — the ultimate phono stage for the ultimate cartridge
For audiophiles building a genuinely state-of-the-art vinyl front-end, the ART-1000X and Whest TITAN Pro II represent a combination that has no equal.
