Audio-Technica 120E Cartridge

Dual Moving Magnet Vector-Aligned Dual Magnet design and Audio Technica's exclusive Paratoroidal signal Generator.

This unique signal generating system is composed of a unified, laminated coil core wound with a single piece of wire. Internal mechanical and electrical connections are eliminated, minimizing magnetic losses and assuring better signal transfer. The use of PCOCC wire (Pure copper by Ohno Continuous casting), a special copper with virtually no transverse crystal barriers to impede signal transmission, perfects the performance of the advanced paratoroidal coil design. Thus, the coil of the cartridge transmits distortion-free sound in which even the most subtle sonic details are reproduced with clarity and purity.
