We have a great honour to announce that we matched the highest company expectations regarding qualifications and standards of demonstrating analogue set ups to the customers and therefore we had been appointed to be Audio Technica’s “An Excellence ” dealer in the UK . One of the two only to whom this distinction had been given. This gives us rights to keep stock and demonstrate to the customers their latest and greatest achievement to date : AT ART – 1000 MC cartridge.
This unique design employs some features which had been always theoretically considered to be superior but nobody till know managed to find the way how to make it happen. Now Audio Technica engineers found the way. Here are some highlights below:
Direct Power System
To ensure the best possible listening experience when playing analog records, Audio-Technica have engineered and developed our Direct Power System. Considered by some as simply a theoretical idea, we have succeeded in making this a reality in the AT-ART1000 cartridge by combining our unique analog technology with the most advanced construction materials available today.
Our Direct Power System places the moving coil directly on top of the stylus tip to ensure that audio quality is not compromised with the negative effects introduced by the cantilever’s length and material. With the coils in such close proximity, the stylus tip allows the cartridge to vividly render the most subtle sonic details with unsurpassed transient response.
Stylus and Cantilever
The AT-ART1000 features a special line contact diamond tip stylus and a solid boron cantilever.This high-performance stylus / cantilever combination enables the maximum pick-up of ”information” from even the most complex vinyl record grooves. For the Direct Power System to flourish effectively, a lightweight solid boron has been specially selected for superior strength and subtle control of movement.
Design details
Body
The structure that supports the specialized magnetic circuit and suspension system is constructed from titanium. Known for its lightweight, strong and anti-resonant acoustic properties, this material requires sophisticated machining and is only employed in Audio-Technica’s top of the range cartridge models. The titanium also works in tandem with the cartridge’s polymer cover and aluminum housing to minimize vibrations that can color the sound quality.
