Audio-Technica AT33SA Dual Moving Coil Cartridge

For over 50 years Audio-Technica has worked alongside leading figures in broadcasting and music to develop and hone a wide range of products with the highest level of audio. The Audio-Technica AT33SA Shibata Dual Moving Coil Cartridge is a Shibata nude stylus phonograph cartridge designed for compatibility with 1/2" mount that will have you loving the true sound quality that only vinyl records can supply. It is housed in an die-cast aluminum alloy housing that reduces vibration and creates a natural electric shield for superior quality and long lasting results. It features a dual-magnet design to give you excellent channel separation and extremely low distortion for outstanding tonal and audio quality.

Shibata Stylus

The Audio-Technica AT33SA cartridge's stylus features a square shaped tip of the stylus cone with an tapered boron cantilever. The Shibata stylus was developed for playing 4ch vinyl records that demand high-frequency reproduction capabilities during playback. These stylus are also ideal for reproducing rich mid and low frequencies. The Shibata shape provides a long line of contact with groove walls, minimizing record wear and playback high frequency material with minimal distortion.

Dual Moving Coil Design

The Dual Moving Coil on the AT33SA Phonograph Cartridge has superior clarity and transparency of tone, better defined transients, precise stereo imaging and lower distortion than magnet designs. The MC design features 2 coils attached to the stylus, and move within the field of a fixed permanent magnet. The coils are much smaller than moving magnet cartridge coils and made from very thin copper wire. This results in a very lightweight design, allowing for a better response and a more detailed reproduction. Neodymium magnet and permendur yoke dramatically improves electrical generation while PCOCC coils give you high separation and wide-response.

Superior Sound

The AT33SA Cartridge has 2g of tracking force for just the right amount of pressure on the vinyl. With 30 dB of channel separation and a frequency response of 15 Hz to 50 kHz, you can be sure of accurate and detailed audio reproduction. A center shield plate located between the left and right channels reduces crosstalk for minimum noise.
