How AT-OC9XSL Works

The OC9XSL brings MC resolution to real-world systems: line-contact stylus, dual coil construction, and an output low enough to demand proper MC gain but not exotic step-ups. It is the cartridge that upgrades AT players into MC without an arm change. Alignment and record cleanliness matter double here — the stylus reports everything.
