Audio Technica AT-OC9XSH MC Cartridge

The OC9 series of Audio Technica of course also has a Shibata option. The Shibata stylus has a very good reputation amongst vinyl lovers. Audio Technica AT-OC9XSH is the one to pick if you like the virtuousness of the Shibata stylus tip: warm engaging sound with plenty of detail and definition.

The nude Shibata stylus tip of the Audio Technica AT-OC9XSH is mounted on a 0.28 mm diameter solid boron cantilever. 

The Dual Moving Coil technology of the Audio Technica AT-OC9XSH is designed to provide outstanding channel separation. Audio quality is further enhanced by a rigid aluminum body that reduces resonance, a neodymium magnet and premium permendur yoke that increase the magnetic energy, and the nude Shibata stylus on a boron cantilever that tracks the record groove with incredible accuracy. 

Audio Technica AT-OC9XSH has the universal ½”-mount and threaded inserts in the cartridge body, which enable the cartridge to be mounted to the headshell with just two screws.

We recommend around 20 hours break-in.
