The Audio Technica AT-34E II is a moving coil (MC) cartridge developed to deliver high-fidelity audio performance. It features an integrated magnesite housing that allows for distance adjustment, enhancing its operational precision. The construction includes internal wiring and coils made from purified copper, which is known to improve signal quality. Also, it is equipped with a lightweight and durable gold-plated boron cantilever, facilitating a stable playback experience. The cartridge is designed for comfort and reliability, producing a detailed and full-bodied sound. However, the body may exhibit minor cosmetic damage to the paint. Key specifications include an output voltage of 0.4 mV at 1 kHz with a tracking force ranging from 1.2 to 1.8 grams, ideally set at 1.5 grams. The frequency response spans from 15 Hz to 55,000 Hz, with a channel separation of 30 dB at 1 kHz and a channel balance within ± 0.5 dB at the same frequency. The compliance is rated at 40 x 10^-6 cm/dyne, featuring a needle tip dimension of 0.2 x 0.7 mil with a line contact shape. The internal resistance is 17 ohms, and it weighs approximately 16.5 grams.
