Audio-Technica AT52E cartridge

AUDIO-TECHNICA AT-52E AT52E INTEGRAL CARTRIDGE AND HEADSHELL

The Audio-Technica Ultra-miniature AT-52E is the result of extensive and several year's research directed to achieve a lofty goal - to simplify the phono cartridge so that it acoustic-melds with both the tonearm and record. The AT52E features an integral headshell for mounting in virtually all bayonet type, standard half-inch mount tonearms. This integral design enabled Audio-Technica engineers to fully integrate the normally separate components of the headshell, cartridge and stylus into a singularly organic unit and encapsulate it to minimize overall structural resonance and thus deliver full-frequency crystal clear and detailed sound quality.

Considered technologically advanced at the time of its manufacture, the AT-52E endures today with its sterling musicality, technical performance and classic, streamlined profile that has become standard today.

Do not order this integral cartridge if its 6 gram weight is less than the minimum usable weight specified for your turntable. Please consult your turntable's manual and specifications - look for "Usable Cartridge and Headshell Weight" or something similar.
