AT-ART1000

The AT-ART1000 (“ART” for Audio-Technica Reference Transducer) is Audio-Technica’s flagship phono cartridge, handmade in Japan. Born of the pursuit of audio excellence that has driven A-T for more than 60 years, the AT-ART1000 introduces an innovative, audiophile design heretofore unseen in mass-produced cartridges.

The AT-ART1000 has been designated an Audio-Technica Excellence Product, a recognition that identifies products that meet our highest standards of high-fidelity performance. 

• Innovative direct power system delivers unsurpassed transient response, resulting in reproduction of even the most subtle sonic details
  
  
• Special line contact stylus and solid boron cantilever with a 0.26 mm diameter ensure an extremely accurate reading of the record groove
  
  
• Non-magnetic core coils provide exquisite, full-dimensional audio reproduction
  
  
• Powerful neodymium magnet and exclusive magnetic circuit with a miniscule 0.6 mm magnetic gap provide remarkably efficient power generation
  
  
• Magnetic circuit’s titanium base works in combination with the cartridge’s hard plastic cover and aluminum housing to disperse unwanted resonance
  
  
• PCOCC (Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting) coil enables pure signal transfer

Please Note: AT-ART1000’s stylus assembly is not field-replaceable, but Audio-Technica offers a fee-based Moving Coil Exchange Program to properly service your moving coil cartridge.
