About the AT15Sa

The Audio Technica AT15Sa is a VM type moving magnet cartridge designed for high-fidelity playback. It incorporates a Shibata profile diamond stylus, recently used in Audio-Technica's AT33Sa MC cartridge, delivering a beautiful mid-high range Shibata-signature sound and strong mid-range volume. The cartridge features a VM type dual magnet system and a high-performance para-toroidal generator for high-quality playback. It uses an aluminium tapered cantilever with light vibration tips achieved by taper processing. The robust metal die-cast body limits detrimental vibrations, improving shielding and bass-range resolution. The cartridge is known for its ability to track high frequencies with ease, reduce record wear, and improve the sound of old, worn records. It has a nude square-shank Shibata stylus and is assembled with ultra-precision. The AT15Sa is highly regarded for its detailed, distortion-free sound reproduction and is considered a universal cartridge suitable for mono, stereo, and matrix or discrete 4-channel records.
