As with previous magnetic core cartridges in our high-end lineup, we had two main goals in developing the AT-ART20: provide superlative analogue sound reproduction and optimise the performance and benefits of a magnetic core cartridge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nBased on cartridge technologies and know-how cultivated over our long history, and employing the best materials and advanced processing techniques, we created a magnetic core moving coil cartridge that’s optimally structured to reproduce sound with the full expressiveness of the original recording.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe AT-ART20 has been designated an Audio-Technica Excellence Product, a recognition that identifies products that meet our highest standards of high-fidelity performance. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe high-frequency response of the AT-ART20 is extended and detailed, while the low-frequency sound, which cartridges tend to bury, is reproduced with full clarity and force. Vocals come through with all the variety and expressiveness of the human voice, even at low volumes, and, indeed, the full character of the sound source blossoms anew for the listener, with extended sound depth and rich spatial imaging to convey the original environment of the performance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEmotional Sound quality\u003c\/h3\u003e\nUnparalleled expressive power to depict every tone and space As a top-of-the-line MC cartridge, the AT-ART20 transmits an astonishing amount of information with high resolution, while capturing musical expression. The sound field stage is realistic, regardless of music genre, fully delivering the expressiveness of a performer's voice and the instrument’s original dynamic qualities\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eExceptional Build\u003c\/h3\u003e\nHigh-quality terminal pins with thick gold plating.\u003cbr\u003eThe thickness of the gold-plated portion has been increased to approximately 30 times than that of conventional products to reduce contact resistance. Resonance suppression by combining various materials The cartridge construction consists of an aluminium base, titanium housing, and elastomer undercover. The unique combination of these materials minimises resonance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h3\u003e\nProvides superlative analogue sound reproduction\u003cbr\u003e\nReproduces sound with the full expressiveness of the original recording\u003cbr\u003e\nNewly designed magnetic circuit improves the cartridge’s efficiency\u003cbr\u003e\nOutput voltage is improved by more than 15% without increasing the number of coil turns which can increase mass and impedance.\u003cbr\u003e\nHigh-quality terminal pins with thick gold plating are approximately 30 times than that of conventional products to reduce contact resistance\u003cbr\u003e\nConstructed of titanium, and aluminium with an elastomer undercover to reduce undesirable resonance\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecial line contact stylus and solid boron cantilever with a 0.28 mm diameter provide premium high-frequency response with minimal inner-groove distortion for consistent reproduction\u003cbr\u003e\nUtilizes the advanced cutting and polishing technologies cultivated in the eyeglass industry of Sabae City, Fukui Prefecture, with history stretching back more than 100 years\u003cbr\u003e\nThreaded cartridge mounting holes allow easy installation to a headshell or integrated tonearm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\nFrequency Response\t20 to 50,000 Hz\u003cbr\u003e\nChannel Separation\t30 dB (1 kHz)\u003cbr\u003e\nVertical Tracking Angle\t20°\u003cbr\u003e\nVertical Tracking Force\t1.6 to 2.0 g (1.8 g standard)\u003cbr\u003e\nStylus Construction\tNude\u003cbr\u003e\nRecommended Load Impedance\t≥ 100 ohms (when head amplifier connected)\u003cbr\u003e\nCoil Impedance\t12 ohms (1 kHz)\u003cbr\u003e\nDC Resistance\t12 ohms\u003cbr\u003e\nCoil Inductance\t25 μH (1 kHz)\u003cbr\u003e\nOutput Voltage\t0.55 mV (1 kHz, 5 cm\/sec.)\u003cbr\u003e\nStylus Shape\tSpecial Line Contact\u003cbr\u003e\nCantilever\t0.28 mm (0.011”) diameter solid boron\u003cbr\u003e\nStatic Compliance\t23 × 10-6 cm\/dyne\u003cbr\u003e\nDynamic Compliance\t13 × 10-6 cm\/dyne (100 Hz)\u003cbr\u003e\nCartridge Weight\t  9.0 g (0.32 oz)","brand":"Audio-technica","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57415710015820,"sku":"AUDIOTECHART20","price":2291.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1053\/6891\/2204\/files\/audio-technica-at-art20-angle-above.jpg?v=1777557692","url":"https:\/\/www.stoneaudio.co.uk\/products\/audio-technica-at-art20-dual-moving-coil-stereo-cartridge","provider":"Stone Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
