CUTTERHEAD
CH9
The stereo feedback cutterhead
precision in its purest form
the heartbeat of vinyl cutting
feel the groove. hear the truth. cut with perfection
The CH9 Stereo Feedback Cutterhead is the centerpiece of every professional record-cutting system. It combines state-of-the-art engineering with decades of experience in disc mastering to deliver unmatched sonic fidelity – from the electrical signal to the perfect groove.

PRECISE SIGNAL CONVERSION
The CH9 converts electrical audio signals into mechanical vibrations with the highest accuracy. Two powerful drive coils move the cutting stylus in a 45°/45° stereo system, ensuring exceptional dynamics and precise channel separation.
Integrated feedback coils measure the stylus movement in real time and relay correction data to the Feedback Compensation Amplifier (FBCA). The result: minimal resonance, maximum clarity, and a precisely defined groove that meets the highest audiophile standards.
CH9 CUTTERHEAD X-RAY
The FP9 base unit already includes a built-in FBCA. Reccut Audio also offers the FBCA-9 as an external device, allowing you to upgrade your existing lathe setup with advanced feedback control.
This combination creates optimized groove behavior:
Thanks to applied RIAA pre-emphasis, the frequency response is perfectly matched to vinyl cutting standards – with controlled low-frequency roll-off and enhanced high-frequency detail. The result is a balanced, richly detailed sound image that brings every record to life.
THOUGHTFUL DETAILS FOR EVERYDAY STUDIO USE
Integrated LED lighting – for optimal visibility of the cutting stylus, groove, and thread.
Efficient chip suction – via the built-in suction tube, perfectly matched with the Reccut Audio SU9 system.
High-quality 320 Synthetic Diamond Stylus – pre-mounted and precisely aligned with the torsion tube.

CONSTRUCTION & STABILITY
The CH9 has been engineered for durability, serviceability, and thermal efficiency:
• Large coil surfaces ensure excellent heat dissipation – even at high frequencies.
• A fast-acting 0.5A fuse provides reliable protection for the drive coils.
• Lightweight construction using special aircraft-grade aluminum ensures maximum rigidity with minimal moving mass.
Interchangeable adapters offer maximum flexibility for different cutting angles and setup configurations.
