AT 812

The Audio Technica AT 812 is a moving coil cartridge designed to deliver high-quality audio performance for vinyl enthusiasts. It features an aluminum cantilever that enhances tracking capabilities and reduces distortion during playback. The cartridge is compatible with a wide range of turntables and is often praised for its ability to reproduce sound with clarity and detail across various genres of music. IT has an elliptical stylus, which provides improved contact with the vinyl groove compared to spherical stylus designs, allowing for better retrieval of musical information. The AT 812 has an output voltage of approximately 4.0 mV and presents a load impedance of 47 kOhm, ensuring compatibility with most standard phono preamps. The frequency response ranges from approximately 20 Hz to 22 kHz, making it suitable for a wide spectrum of audio frequencies. Additionally, its tracking force is typically set between 1.5 to 2.0 grams, allowing for optimal performance without excessive wear on the records.
