The Next Generation of the Legendary OC9 Series of Capsules

Since its launch more than 30 years ago, Audio-Technica's pioneering OC9 series of moving coil capsules has been recognized by both discerning vinyl listeners and professional critics for its musical transparency, its expressive sound and precise construction. It is characterized by its square shank for precise needle alignment and a bare diamond for greater recovery of the finest details.

Features a low-mass elliptical stylus and aluminum cantilever.

A neodymium magnet and a pure iron yoke provide increased magnetic energy.

Threaded inserts in the cartridge body allow the cartridge to be mounted to the headstock or integrated arm with just two screws, no nuts required

Aluminum body minimizes unwanted vibration to reduce resonance and audio reproduction superior

Continuously cast oxygen-free pure copper (PCOCC) is used for the coils to achieve the purest possible signal
