Audio Technica AT33xEN Moving Coil Cartridge
Frequently Bought Together
Product Overview & Specifications
The Audio-Technica AT33xEN is a premium dual moving coil (MC) cartridge from Audio-Technica's redesigned AT33x Series, specifically engineered to deliver warm, full-bodied, and expressive analog audio reproduction. Featuring a 0.3 x 0.7 mil nude elliptical stylus attached to a tapered duralumin pipe cantilever, the AT33xEN provides precise groove tracking with controlled, extended high-frequency response.
To control resonance and enhance mid-to-low frequency weight, the AT33xEN incorporates a newly designed multi-material body combining die-cast zinc at the base, aluminum, and high-rigidity polymer. Its upgraded suspension system utilizes a piano-wire mechanism that optimizes dynamic compliance for richer tonality, while independent PCOCC coils, a neodymium magnet, and a permendur yoke ensure high output efficiency, exceptional channel separation, and low signal loss. Built with integrated M2.6 threaded mounting holes, it allows simple direct headshell installation without loose nuts.
KEY FEATURES & PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGIES
- Redesigned AT33x Acoustic Voicing: Re-engineered to provide enhanced warmth, midrange presence, and low-end impact across the audio spectrum.
- Nude Elliptical Stylus & Tapered Duralumin Cantilever: 0.3 x 0.7 mil nude elliptical diamond tip paired with a rigid, lightweight tapered duralumin pipe cantilever for accurate transient tracking.
- Resonance-Dispersing Composite Chassis: Tri-material body constructed from die-cast zinc, aluminum, and high-rigidity polymer to suppress and disperse mechanical resonances.
- Newly Developed Piano-Wire Suspension System: Refined suspension mechanism provides improved tracking stability and slightly lower dynamic compliance for more substantial low-mid frequency presentation.
- Dual Moving Coil Design with PCOCC Wiring: Independent left and right coils wound with high-purity PCOCC copper wire deliver superior channel separation (>27 dB) and low distortion.
- Neodymium Magnet & Permendur Yoke: High-density magnetic circuit maximizes power generation efficiency and high-resolution output.
- Integrated Threaded Mounting Inserts: Pre-threaded M2.6 mounting holes allow effortless, direct mounting onto integrated or detachable tonearms.
