Audio-Technica AT33PTG2 Dual Moving Coil Cartridge - Black

Audio-Technica AT33PTG2 Dual Moving Coil Cartridge

The AT33PTG/II dual moving coil cartridge features a Microlinear stylus that, with its small curvature radius, delivers low-distortion, high-range performance, even when playing the inner circumference of a record. The Microlinear stylus, which has an average life span of around 1,000 hours, is mounted on a nude tapered boron cantilever with a double damper for reduced weight and better audio quality.The cartridge’s two coils provide excellent channel separation and are affixed within a strong, lightweight mold made of hard resin to greatly reduce unwanted vibration. The cartridge uses a neodymium magnet and a permendur yoke for dramatically enhanced magnetic energy. The PCOCC (Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting) coils ensure pure audio transmission.Features- Moving coil cartridge with Microlinear stylus delivers exquisite, full-range audio reproduction- Advanced tapered boron cantilever and reduced coil weight improve the audio quality, particularly in the higher frequencies- Neodymium magnet and permendur yoke dramatically enhance the magnetic energy- PCOCC (Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting) coil enables pure signal transfer- High-separation, wide-response dual moving coil- Strong, rigid housing limits unnecessary vibration- Precision-cast hard aluminum alloy body enhances rigidity and the signal-to-noise ratioSpecifications- Frequency Response: 15-50,000 Hz- Channel Separation: 30 dB (1 kHz)- Vertical Tracking Force: 1.8-2.2 g (2.0 g standard)- Recommended Load Impedance: More than 100 ohms (when head amplifier is connected)- Output: 0.3 mV (at 1 kHz, 5 cm/sec)- Channel Balance: 0.5 dB (1 kHz)- Stylus Shape: Microlinear- Stylus Type: Nude square shank- Cantilever: Gold-plated nude tapered boron- Mount: Half-inch- Accessories Included:- Non-Magnetic Screwdriver- 2 Washers- 2 Nuts¬- Cartridge Installation Screws (13 mm × 2, 19 mm × 2)- Plastic Protector- Brush- PCOCC Lead Wire Set- Stylus Curvature Radius: 2.2 x 0.12 mil- Coil Impedance: 10 ohms (1 kHz)- Coil Inductance: 22 µH (1 kHz)- DC Resistance: 10 ohms- Static Compliance: 40 x 10-6 cm/dyne- Dynamic Compliance: 10 x 10-6 cm/dyne (100 Hz)- Vertical Tracking Angle: 23°- Dimensions: 16.0 mm (0.63") H × 16.6 mm (0.65") W × 26.5 mm (1.04") D- Weight: 6.9 g (0.24 oz)
