ART
The ART in the model number stands for Audio-Technica Reference Transducer, a designation that they give only to their flagship phono cartridges. Compared with the magnetic core used in most MC cartridges, non-magnetic core cartridges are free from magnetic distortion, allowing for natural timbre and a precise sound field.
