The AT33xMONO/I features a "True Mono" dual moving coil design engineered specifically for superior monaural playback.

This design is uniquely capable of generating the electrical signal only from horizontal movement within the record groove. Crucially, the system remains unaffected by any vertical noise components, which typically contribute to signal interference.

This specialised focus results in exceptionally clear monaural sound, characterised by a more substantial low end and significantly reduced surface noise. Furthermore, this dual mono coil design is perfectly ideal for achieving authentic mono playback on a standard stereo system.

This monaural cartridge, featuring a 0.65 mil conical nude stylus, is engineered for balanced, high-resolution sound reproduction, bringing out all the details in the music.

Key Features:

• "True Mono" Design: The dual moving coil system only generates a signal from horizontal movement, effectively eliminating vertical noise components. This results in exceptionally clear mono sound, reduced surface noise, and a substantial low end.
• Pure Signal Path: Uses PCOCC coils and an optimised neodymium magnet/permendur yoke for high-resolution, responsive playback.
• Resonance Control: The composite body (die-cast zinc, aluminum, high-rigidity polymer) and dense die-cast zinc base actively reduce and suppress unwanted vibrations across all frequencies, particularly in the mid-to-low range.
• Durable Build: Features a high-hardness duralumin pipe cantilever and a newly developed suspension system (with lower dynamic compliance) compatible with various tonearms.
• Convenience: Includes threaded mounting holes and thick gold plating on the terminal pins to reduce contact resistance.
• Quality: Hand-finished by artisans in Japan.

The AT-VM750xSH/H combo kit features the AT-VM750xSH Shibata dual moving magnet cartridge, pre-mounted on the AT-LT10 universal 1/2"-mount headshell. As part of the updated AT-VMx series, the AT-VM750xSH incorporates material and design improvements that further enhance the VM sound**. This delivers responsive playback that's particularly sensitive to the dynamism of musical expression.

AT-VM750xSH Key Features

• AT-VMx dual moving magnet cartridge with Shibata stylus
• Shibata stylus provides long line of contact with the record groove, enabling the pickup of ultra-high frequencies with minimal abrasion and distortion
• Significantly lighter stylus tip (compared to previous model) allows for more precise tracing of the record groove
• Solid boron cantilever quickly transmits vibrations from the record groove, ensuring accurate reproduction of dynamic musical passages
• Die-cast aluminum housing reduces vibrations and resonance.
• Paratoroidal coils improve generating efficiency for enhanced channel separation, channel balance, and transient response
• PCUHD® (Pure Copper Ultra High Drawability) coils – and fewer coil turns – deliver highly responsive, three-dimensional sound reproduction with excellent transient response
• Center shield plate between the left and right channels reduces crosstalk for clear stereo sound
• Threaded inserts make cartridge easier to mount, especially to integrated tonearms
• V-cut in the flip-up stylus protector shows stylus position, serving as a guide for lowering the stylus onto a record
• Compatible with any turntable headshell that accepts 1/2" cartridges
• Compatible with most AT-VMx series replacement styli,* offering a wide choice of options for every budget and application

AT-LT10 Universal Headshell

• Universal ½"-mount headshell for 4-pin turntable cartridges with or without threaded inserts
• Ultra-lightweight aluminum die-cast body keeps vibration to the bare minimum
• Elongated through holes enable precise cartridge positioning and overhang adjustment
• OFC (oxygen-free copper) lead wires for exceptional sound quality
• Slip-resistant finger lift allows stylus to be placed precisely on the record
