Why Choose the 700 Series Shibata?
-
Legendary Shibata Performance: Originally developed for quadraphonic playback, the Shibata stylus provides a unique sonic “thickness” and warmth. Its long contact surface tracks the highest frequencies with ease while significantly reducing record wear.

Resonance-Reducing Aluminum Body: Unlike standard composite housings, the die-cast aluminum alloy body of the 700 Series provides superior shielding and dampens unwanted vibrations, ensuring a rock-solid soundstage and precise imaging.
-
VM Dual Magnet Design: Audio-Technica’s patented system uses two magnets positioned to match the stereo channels perfectly, resulting in outstanding channel separation and a flat, natural frequency response.
-
High-Frequency Extension: With a response reaching up to $27,000\text{ Hz}$, this cartridge uncovers the delicate harmonics and “air” that define a high-end Hi-Fi listening experience.
-
Elite Craftsmanship: Hand-assembled with precision, this cartridge is the ideal upgrade for high-quality tonearms using a standard 1/2″ mount.
