Dual Moving Coil Cartridge (Non-Magnetic Core)

AT-ART20

A new realm of analog sound
Magnetic Core MC with a Superb Sound

  • Provides superlative analog sound reproduction
  • Reproduces sound with the full expressiveness of the original recording
  • Newly designed magnetic circuit improves the cartridge’s efficiency
  • Output voltage is improved by more than 15% without increasing the number of coil turns which can increase mass and impedance.
  • High-quality terminal pins with thick gold plating are approximately 30 times than that of conventional products to reduce contact resistance
  • Constructed of titanium, and aluminum with an elastomer undercover to reduce undesirable resonance
  • Special line contact stylus and solid boron cantilever with a 0.28 mm diameter provide a premium high-frequency response with minimal inner-groove distortion for consistent reproduction
  • Utilizes the advanced cutting and polishing technologies cultivated in the eyeglass industry of Sabae City, Fukui Prefecture, with a history stretching back more than 100 years
  • Threaded cartridge mounting holes allow easy installation to a headshell or integrated tonearm

    AT-ART20 cartridge in our ART Series will allow you to experience a new world of sound. As with previous magnetic core cartridges in our high-end lineup, we had two main goals in developing the AT-ART20: provide superlative analog sound reproduction and optimize the performance and benefits of a magnetic core cartridge.

    Based on cartridge technologies and know-how cultivated over our long history, and employing the best materials and advanced processing techniques, we created a magnetic core moving coil cartridge that’s optimally structured to reproduce sound with the full expressiveness of the original recording.
