The AC-6 features the latest technology in terms of materials and construction. The semi line contact stylus extracts minute vibrations that are transmitted instantaneously to the magnetic circuit by the boron cantilever with high propagation speed. The magnetic circuit is mounted on a strong titanium base, ensuring accurate conversion into a music signal. Every single aspect of the cartridge has been finely honed to deliver optimum performance, ushering the listener into the wonderful world of analog records.

Elevates the art of sound creation to another dimension
At its heart is a semi line-contact stylus that traces even the most minute groove modulations with exceptional accuracy. This stylus is mounted on a solid boron cantilever — chosen for its remarkable speed and stiffness — which transmits vibrations with minimal loss into the cartridge’s magnetic circuit. The magnetic assembly itself is anchored on a stiff, gold ion-plated titanium base for superior rigidity and minimal internal resonance.
The AC-6’s body is crafted from extruded aluminum with a gold-coloured alumite finish, delivering strength and vibration control. A powerful N50 grade neodymium magnet, combined with precision-wound coils, contributes to a dynamic and detailed audio output.
