• Recommended Contact force: 1.0 mn - 2.0 mn
• Needle compliance: n.a. (there are several different specifications in the network, the original user manual does not mention needle compliance. But it is probably a pickup with a rather higher needle compliance of 25-30 mm / N)

• naked diamond with Shibata needle cut on a tapered needle shank ("tapered cantilever")
• aluminum needle carrier on the AT20SLa, beryllium needle carrier on the AT20SS
• "dual-magnet" construction
• Cast metal housing
• Needle guard in visor form on the needle insert
• Needle inserts: ATN-20 (AT20SLa) or ATN-20SS (AT20SS) are freely interchangeable with each other. The two pickup versions differ only by the needle insertion.
• The Shibata cut of the AT20SLA and the successor AT20SS ("Super Shibata") was originally developed to be able to reproduce the extremely high frequencies of the 4-channel recording.
• The AT20SLa is a hand-selected version of the AT15A for the smoothest possible frequency response, otherwise it corresponds exactly to this technically. The needle inserts are also interchangeable.
• The above information comes from the original operating instructions of AT20SLa and AT20SS
