Incorporating technological and material improvements, including Audio-Technica’s first use of die-cast zinc at the base of the cartridge to kill resonance and improve expressiveness in the mid to low frequencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its microlinear nude stylus and solid boron tapered cantilever, the AT33xMLB is capable of capturing the subtlest details cut into a record groove. This capacity for high-resolution tracking is particularly noticeable when listening to orchestral recordings, allowing each instrument to be discerned clearly, or when playing records made since the late 1970s that benefit from high-fidelity recording and manufacturing advancements. The newly developed suspension mechanism uses piano wire for improved tracking accuracy and slightly lower dynamic compliance 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. The AT33x dual moving coil design features independent left- and right-channel PCOCC (Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting) coils for outstanding channel separation and smooth signal transmission. A neodymium magnet and permendur yoke create a strong magnetic field that maximizes power generation efficiency, ensuring responsive, high-resolution analog playback. Like all AT33x Series cartridges, the body includes threaded holes for easy mounting (just two screws required), which is especially helpful with integrated tonearms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePlease Note:\u003c\/i\u003e AT33xMLB’s stylus assembly is not field-replaceable.
