  Provides a 12-volt DC output at 0.5 amps.
• Replaceable ATN-3600L Cartridge
  Equipped with a user-replaceable ATN-3600L cartridge for extended product life.
• 33 1/3, 45RPM Speeds
  Capable of handling standard 33 1/3 and 45 RPM vinyl records.
• ±0.15% Wow and Flutter
  Offers exceptional speed stability with a wow and flutter measurement of ±0.15%.
• ±1.5% Speed Variation
  Offers exceptional speed stability with a speed variation measurement of 0.10%.
• 55dB Signal to Noise
  Provides a 55dB signal-to-noise ratio, minimizing background noise and maximizing audio clarity.
• USB TO PC
  Allows you to directly connect your turntable to a computer via a USB cable. By connecting your turntable to your computer, you can convert your analog vinyl records into digital audio files (like MP3 or WAV). This allows you to preserve your vinyl collection in a digital format, making it easier to share, backup, and listen to on various devices.
• Tonearm Lift
  Features an automatic tonearm lift mechanism for added convenience and record protection.
• Tonearm Clip
  Protects the needle from damage when the turntable is moved.
• Built-in Preamp
  Equipped with a high-quality, built-in phono preamplifier for direct connection to a turntable.
• RCA Output
  Provides stereo analog audio output via RCA jacks.
• LINE/PHONO Switch
  A switch that optimizes the input signal for different audio sources, ensuring optimal performance.
• MDF Material
  Engineered wood product made from wood fibers.
• Removable Dust Cover
  A protective covering designed to be easily removed and replaced.

• Static Balanced, Straight-Type
  This means the tonearm is balanced when it's in a horizontal position, and the pivot point is a straight, vertical line. This design helps to reduce friction and improve sound quality.
• Cueing Lever
  A lever that is used to manually lift the tonearm away from the record. This is often used to prevent damage to the stylus when starting or stopping playback.
• Aluminum Material
  The tonearm is made of aluminum, a lightweight and rigid material that helps to improve sound quality and reduce resonance.
• 36 AWG Litz Cable / 7 Strand Tonearm Wire
  This refers to the wiring used in the tonearm. 36 AWG is a measure of the wire's thickness, and "Litz" refers to a type of stranded wire that reduces skin effect and improves high-frequency response. 7-strand means there are 7 individual wires bundled together to form a single cable.
• 0.74 oz (21.1 g) Effective Tonearm Mass
  This is the weight of the tonearm, which affects how the tonearm tracks the record and interacts with the cartridge. A lower mass typically allows for better tracking and higher frequencies.
• 0.76 inches (19.2 mm) Overhang
  Overhang refers to the horizontal distance between the stylus tip and the vertical line that passes through the tonearm pivot. This measurement is important for proper cartridge alignment.
• 8.6 inches (218.5 mm) Effective Tonearm Length
  This is the distance from the tonearm pivot to the stylus tip. This measurement is also important for cartridge alignment and tracking.

• 2.5mV Output Voltage
  This refers to the electrical signal produced by the cartridge when it vibrates in response to the grooves on a vinyl record. A higher output voltage typically means less amplification is needed from the phono preamp.
• 20Hz-20kHz Frequency Response
  This specifies the range of frequencies that the cartridge can accurately reproduce. A wider frequency response generally results in a more natural and detailed sound.
• 2.0dB Channel Balance
  This indicates how well the left and right channels of the cartridge match in terms of output level. A lower number means better channel balance, which is crucial for stereo imaging.
• 1kHz/10kHz: ＞18dB Channel Separation
  This measures the isolation between the left and right channels at specific frequencies. Higher numbers indicate better channel separation, reducing crosstalk between channels.
• 3.5±0.5g Recommended Tracking Force
  Tracking force refers to the downward pressure applied by the stylus onto the record. The specified range indicates the optimal tracking force for this cartridge to ensure proper contact with the record groove.
• Highly Polished and Shaped .0006 inch Conical Diamond
  This describes the stylus, which is the part of the cartridge that actually reads the grooves on the record. "Conical" refers to the shape of the diamond tip, and ".0006 inch" is its size. A highly polished and shaped diamond stylus can improve tracking accuracy and reduce wear on the record.
• 0.18oz,5.0g Cartridge Weight
  The weight of the cartridge is either 0.18 ounces or 5.0 grams.
  
  To remove old stylus (needle), hold the cartridge in one hand, grasp the plastic stylus housing with thumb and forefinger, and pull away from the cartridge. The stylus assembly comes away at a slight angle, as indicated by the arrow.
  
  To install replacement stylus, insert the new stylus assembly into the cartridge at a slight angle, so the hook at the end of the stylus fits into the slot in the cartridge body. The stylus assembly should click into place when fully seated on the cartridge. The stylus must be fully seated on the body for proper operation.
