The AT33xMLD features a microlinear nude stylus on a duralumin tapered cantilever, delivering warm, detailed sound ideal for rock and jazz. Its piano-wire suspension improves tracking and enhances mid-low range performance, while the composite zinc, aluminum, and polymer body minimizes resonance for balanced, natural playback. Independent PCOCC coils in the dual moving coil design ensure excellent channel separation and smooth signal transmission, supported by a neodymium magnet and permendur yoke for efficient, high-resolution sound.
Features
- Dual Moving Coil Stereo Cartridge with Microlinear Nude Stylus
- PCOCC Coils Ensure Smooth Signal Transmission
- Composite Body Reduces Resonance for Balanced Sound
Material Difference
The AT33xMLD’s rigid duralumin pipe cantilever, which tapers toward the microlinear stylus tip for improved response, is linked with a firm suspension mechanism, slightly lowering the dynamic compliance. Two independent PCOCC coils are positioned at the cantilever’s fulcrum to ensure pure signal transmission for each channel.
Sound Body
Each AT33x Series cartridge body is constructed of three distinct materials – die-cast zinc, aluminum, and high-rigidity polymer – optimally arranged to reduce and disperse resonance across the cartridge body so that no frequency predominates during playback. Threaded holes are incorporated into the body for easy mounting.
Full, Warm Sound
The redesigned AT33x Series cartridges deliver that classic analog sound, rich in detail across the audio spectrum with lifelike expressiveness in the mid to low frequencies. The AT33xMLD is an excellent choice for playing rock and jazz records, particularly those recorded in the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s.
