Audio-Technica is pleased to introduce the AT-ART20, the latest cartridge in their ART Series that will allow you to experience a new world of sound. As with previous magnetic core cartridges in their high-end lineup, Audio-Technica had two main goals in developing the AT-ART20: provide superlative analog sound reproduction and optimize the performance and benefits of a magnetic core cartridge.
The AT-ART20 has been designated an Audio-Technica Excellence Product, a recognition that identifies products that meet their highest standards of high-fidelity performance.

What you get from the Audio Technica's ART20 is a cartridge with excellent macro and micro dynamics, high-frequency extension, and transparency. It has a wide open midrange and nimble yet powerful bass. It tracks like a Formula One car and exhibits no sense of grain. It lays to the slightly cool side of neutral, builds the music from the top down, and sits you at the mixing board.
