Audio-Technica AT34EII Vintage MC Cartridge Integrated Headshell Japan

Released in 1980 and made in Japan, the Audio-Technica AT34EII is a dual-moving-coil phono cartridge built into an integrated magnesium-alloy headshell.

Its one-piece design mounts directly to a standard bayonet-style tonearm connector, with an adjustable mounting section allowing the overhang to be set correctly. Audio-Technica described the rigid magnesium-alloy body as part of the cartridge’s resonance-control design.

This is a low-output moving-coil cartridge and requires a compatible MC phono input, head amplifier or step-up transformer.

An unusual high-grade Audio-Technica cartridge combining its moving-coil generator and headshell in a rigid, purpose-designed magnesium assembly.

• This is a Moving Coil Cartridge. This is a low output moving coil cartridge therefore you may need additional gain if you use a standard MM phono pre-amplifier.
  
  
• This set up has been tested. It is working well and sounds good!
