Audio-Technica's new AT-VMx series premium dual moving magnet (MM) cartridges deliver a rich, detailed, and expansive sound. Designed to closely mirror the vinyl cutting head, they feature dual magnets for exceptional channel separation and extended frequency response.
The VMx series incorporates material and design upgrades for refined sound. A paratoroidal coil generator with two coils per channel and a center shield plate reduces crosstalk, while PCUHD® copper wire enhances audio reproduction. Reduced coil turns improve transient response for remarkably clear and immediate sound.
Ease of use is also enhanced with threaded inserts for simpler mounting and a V-cut stylus protector for precise stylus positioning. The 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical bonded stylus of the AT-VM520xEB tracks the record groove with accuracy for outstanding audio reproduction.
