Audio Technica AT 120 E/T specifications

Category : Pickup

General

The AT 120 E pickup system has a biradial needle cut, the diamond sits on a polished aluminum needle carrier. The assembly of the pickup system is relatively simple. Because of the laterally open mounting holes, it can be mounted on any tonearm, no matter how exotic or antique. Mounted on a medium-weight tonearm, the AT 120 E stands out for its great tonal cleanliness. It reaches a considerable draft, and the result in the heights leaves nothing to be desired. In the middle area it is noticeable that nothing is noticeable. The absolutely precise reproduction of natural instruments and voices, which are very often critical with other pickups, deserves applause from many listeners. There is never boredom, because the AT 120 E is very dynamic at work and does not even level out demanding music. Overall, the AT 120 E is a very balanced pickup system for listeners who might not want to enjoy the technology, but music.

Conclusion The Audio Technica AT 120 E is a thoroughly modern system, which is suitable for all medium-weight tonearms. It pleases, first of all, by its incorruptible reproduction of any musical genre.
