A Moving Coil Cartridge is a type of phonograph cartridge used in turntables to convert the mechanical vibrations of a vinyl record into electrical signals. It consists of a tiny coil of wire attached to a magnet, which moves within a magnetic field as the stylus tracks the grooves of the record. This movement generates an electrical current that is then amplified to produce sound. These cartridges are known for their high fidelity and detailed sound reproduction, making them popular among audiophiles. Unlike their counterpart, the Moving Magnet Cartridge, moving coil cartridges typically have a lower output voltage, requiring a specialized phono preamp for optimal performance.
