(1) Vertical tracking angle of 20 degrees is IEC/DIN standard. (2) PCOCC = Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting process. (3) When head amplifier connected. (4) The abbreviation mil is equal a thousandth of an inch – 1 mil = 0,001 inch = 0,0254 mm = 25,4 m m. (5) When the stylus is to be replaced, replace the entire cartridge. Take the used cartridge to your Audio‑Technica Authorized Service Centre. The new cartridge, or any other model which is desired among the line-up of MC cartridges sold by Audio‑Technica, are available at the stylus replacement price (contact an Audio‑Technica Authorized Service Centre).
