AT33xMLB Dual Moving Coil Stereo Cartridge |
| Summary | The AT33x Series is the first major overhaul of the AT33 in years, bringing new warmth and fullness to music. Technological advances, including the first use of die-cast zinc at the cartridge base, minimise resonance and boost mid-to-low frequency expressiveness, ensuring you hear the finest details across the entire audio spectrum. The AT33xMLB is engineered for high-resolution tracking. It features a microlinear nude stylus on a solid boron tapered cantilever, capable of capturing the subtlest groove details. This precision is ideal for detailed orchestral recordings and high-fidelity records made since the late 1970s. A new piano wire suspension enhances tracking accuracy, slightly lowering dynamic compliance for more substantial audio, particularly in the mid-low range. Key Features:

AT33xMLB Dual Moving Coil Stereo Cartridge
Summary
The AT33x Series is the first major overhaul of the AT33 in years, bringing new warmth and fullness to music. Technological advances, including the first use of die-cast zinc at the cartridge base, minimise resonance and boost mid-to-low frequency expressiveness, ensuring you hear the finest details across the entire audio spectrum.
The AT33xMLB is engineered for high-resolution tracking. It features a microlinear nude stylus on a solid boron tapered cantilever, capable of capturing the subtlest groove details. This precision is ideal for detailed orchestral recordings and high-fidelity records made since the late 1970s. A new piano wire suspension enhances tracking accuracy, slightly lowering dynamic compliance for more substantial audio, particularly in the mid-low range.
Key Features:
- Microlinear Stylus: Tracks the record groove with incredible accuracy, providing more nuanced sound reproduction than standard elliptical or conical styli.
- Solid Boron Cantilever: Tapered design ensures rapid vibration transmission for accurate reproduction of dynamic musical passages.
- Dual Moving Coil: Independent left and right coils provide outstanding channel separation.
- PCOCC Coils: Used for pure, smooth signal transmission.
- Composite Body: Constructed from die-cast zinc, aluminum, and high-rigidity polymer to reduce and disperse resonance for a balanced, natural sound.
- Zinc Base: Highly rigid, dense die-cast zinc suppresses unwanted vibrations and improves mid-to-low frequency expressiveness.
- High-Fidelity Components: Neodymium magnet and permendur yoke maximise efficiency for high-resolution playback.
- Advanced Suspension: Newly developed mechanism and damper design (with lower dynamic compliance) allow compatibility with a variety of tonearms.
- Double-Step Armature: Increases cantilever rigidity for better resonance suppression.
- Quality & Convenience: Features threaded mounting holes for easy setup, gold-plated terminal pins for enhanced sound quality, and is hand-finished by artisans in Japan.
