Incorporating technological and material improvements, including our first use of die-cast zinc at the base of the cartridge to ward off unwanted resonance and improve expressiveness in the mid to low frequencies, the AT33x Series cartridges let you hear the finest details across the audio spectrum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AT33xMONO\/I features a “True Mono” dual moving coil design that is unaffected by any vertical noise components picked up from the record groove, instead generating electrical signal only from horizontal movement. This results in exceptionally clear monaural sound with a more substantial low end and reduced surface noise. The dual mono coil design is also ideal for mono playback on a stereo system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-hero__expanded-text\" style=\"max-height: 749px;\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo further enhance its monaural performance, the cartridge is equipped with a 0.65 mil conical nude stylus, which is perfect for tracking the constant width and depth of mono record grooves. Our newly developed suspension mechanism uses piano wire for even more tracking accuracy, lowering the dynamic compliance slightly for more substantial audio, particularly in the mid-low range. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cartridge’s composite body, made of die-cast zinc, aluminum, and high-rigidity polymer, reduces and disperses resonance across the entire body, resulting in balanced, natural sound reproduction that doesn’t favor particular frequencies. PCOCC (Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting) coils ensure pure, smooth signal transmission, while the neodymium magnet and permendur yoke (shaped for optimal monaural sound reproduction) create a strong magnetic field that maximizes power generation efficiency, resulting in responsive, high-resolution analog playback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all AT33x Series cartridges, the body of the AT33xMONO\/I includes threaded holes for easy mounting (just two screws required). These threaded holes are especially useful when mounting the cartridge to an integrated tonearm. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease Note: AT33xMONO\/I’s stylus assembly is not field-replaceable, but Audio-Technica offers a fee-based \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audio-technica.com\/en-us\/cartridges\/styli-accessories\/a-t-moving-coil-exchange-program\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMoving Coil Exchange Program\u003c\/a\u003e to properly service your moving coil cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"details_accordion-trigger\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"details_accordion-title\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"details_accordion-content\" style=\"height: auto;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"details_accordion-content-inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAT33x Series dual moving coil monaural cartridge with 0.65 mil conical nude stylus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalanced, high-resolution sound reproduction brings out all the details in a piece of music \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e“True Mono” dual moving coil design only generates electrical signal from horizontal movement for exceptionally clear monaural sound with a more substantial low end and reduced surface noise\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePCOCC (Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting) coils provide pure, smooth signal transmission\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeodymium magnet and permendur yoke (shaped for optimal monaural sound reproduction) maximize energy efficiency for high-resolution, responsive playback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComposite cartridge body (die-cast zinc, aluminum, and high-rigidity polymer) reduces resonance throughout the body for balanced, natural sound reproduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly rigid and dense die-cast zinc material is used at the base of the cartridge to suppress unwanted vibrations and improve the expressiveness of the mid-to-low frequency range\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThreaded mounting holes make it easier to mount the cartridge to a headshell, especially one integrated into a tonearm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.65 mil conical nude stylus tracks the center of the record groove for reliable performance and excellent fidelity\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-hardness duralumin pipe cantilever\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNewly developed suspension mechanism and rubber damper design (with lower dynamic compliance than other A-T cartridges) enable the cartridge to be used with a variety of tonearms\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThick gold plating on the terminal pins reduces contact resistance and enhances sound quality\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrafted and hand-finished by artisans in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eCartridge \u0026amp;
