Record Mono MC AEX 2026 Bronze Award Made In Duralumin Pipe Mono Solid Round Record Player Cartridge Audio-Technica AT33xMONO/I Needle, Record, Type,

Featuring a newly adopted zinc die-cast cartridge base and a hybrid body skillfully combining three materials: The high-rigidity and high-density zinc die-cast material suppresses unwanted vibrations and improves the expression of mid-low frequencies. It achieves a tight, well-defined sound reproduction where the core of the sound can be felt clearly. The zinc die-cast, aluminum, and hard resin, each with different properties, are optimally arranged. Resonance throughout the body is effectively dispersed, reproducing a balanced and natural sound. TRUE MONO cartridge structure that generates only horizontal signals: It employs a dedicated generating coil that corresponds to the grooves of monaural records, which have amplitude only in the horizontal direction. Because it is not affected by noise components introduced from the vertical direction, you can enjoy high-purity sound. The newly developed suspension mechanism and rubber damper design expand the range of sound options: the dynamic compliance is set slightly lower compared to our existing cartridges. Combined with conventional products, this broadens the range of settings, allowing you to enjoy more freedom in customizing the sound. A solid spherical stylus ideal for monaural playback: With a stylus tip shape optimized for monaural records where the groove width and depth are constant, it deliberately avoids pursuing wideband reproduction and instead focuses on enriching the mid-range to low-frequency sound. Features threaded cartridge mounting holes: Compatible with integrated tonearms widely used in the global Hi-Fi audio market. The change to threaded holes makes it easier to attach cartridges to integrated tonearms. This model is a "monaural LP-only cartridge." A high-performance model that fully conveys the charm of monaural records. The "AT33" series, symbolic of Audio-Technica's dual-moving-coil MC cartridges, has been revamped as the "AT33x" series. In addition to the delicate and high-resolution sound that our flagship MC cartridges boast, it pursues a well-balanced sound quality across a wide frequency range. Furthermore, the dense reproduction of the mid-low frequencies brings a calm and resonant sound. We aimed to create a product with a unique character, adding warmth to human voices and producing a natural and pleasant tone. Enter the depths of sound through wide-bandwidth reproduction born from refined technology. The newly reborn "AT33x" series invites you into a sea of sound that envelops the entire space.
