The Audio-Technica Studio Reference Series 3003 phono cartridge uses a highly polished special elliptical stylus to very accurately extract record groove information with a minimum of wear. Audio-Technica uses a thin-wall alloy tube cantilever (the hollow rod that extends from the cartridge to the diamond tip), for low mass, low resonance and high sensitivity. The Audio-Technica 3003 phono cartridge reproduces a wide, extended frequency response with low distortion. It offers excellent tracking at 1 - 1.5 grams, saving your LPs from undue wear. It fits P-mount or standard half-inch tonearms with the supplied adaptor.
The Studio Reference 3003 cartridge comes complete with installation instructions and mounting hardware for P-mount and half-inch standard tonearms. Originally packaged in a Red carton enclosed plastic case, this latest version was modernized with clamshell sealed packaging for long shelf life and excellent product protection.
