User manual for Audio‑Technica’s direct‑power stereo MC cartridge, describing construction, safety, installation and specifications.
This manual introduces the direct‑power stereo MC cartridge, explaining its unique design that places the pickup coil directly above the stylus to reduce resonance effects. Detailed construction information covers the body, special line‑contact stylus, solid‑boron cantilever, non‑magnetic core coil and titanium base.
The guide also lists all supplied items, provides safety warnings, instructions for removing the cartridge from its wooden case, identifies each part, and gives full technical specifications. Contact information for service and warranty is included at the end. This manual is written in German.
