The phonograph stylus that Atrotos Audio uses are designed to optimally trace a record, and plays a natural and rich sound.
We pay meticulous attention to diamond material, processing, finish, and incorporation into the cantilever. In particular, we make full use of the most advanced technology for polishing the parts that make contact with the record groove.
Our styli are produced with meticulous care from the diamond material to processing, finishing, and even assembly to the cantilever to achieve ideal tracing of the record groove.
Our production process utilizes the most advanced polishing technology for the tip of the stylus that comes in contact with the groove.

Our MicroRidge stylus has a minuscule curve radius that will not be altered by abrasion. It is capable of playing signals back precisely, so high frequency sound and wide dynamic range can be played without distortion. It’s a top-of-the-line stylus with high performance, long life and high fidelity sound reproduction.

A type of line contact stylus suitable for 4ch records (CD-4 format). Its reproducing frequency band is wider than the elliptical stylus and it can trace a high frequency range. By extending the contact line between the sound groove and the tip, the stylus pressure per unit area can be reduced, prolonging the life of both the record and the stylus tip.
