Audio Technica AT-ART20 Dual Moving Coil Stereo Cartridge

Audio-Technica is pleased to introduce the AT-ART20, the latest cartridge in our ART Series that will allow you to experience a new world of sound. As with previous magnetic core cartridges in our high-end lineup, we had two main goals in developing the AT-ART20: provide superlative analog performance and offer sound reproduction that matches the life-like expressiveness of non-magnetic core cartridges. Based 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 a live performance. 

The high-frequency range of the AT-ART20 is expansive 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 the full character of the sound source blossoms anew for the listener with extended sound depth and rich spatial expression that convey the original environment of the performance.
