Audio-Technica AT-VM740xML VMx Microlinear Dual MM Phono Cartridge

Highlights

• Microlinear stylus tracks the record groove with incredible accuracy, providing more nuanced sound reproduction
• Paratoroidal coils improve generating efficiency for enhanced channel separation, channel balance, and transient response
• Center shield plate between the left and right channels reduces crosstalk for clear stereo sound
• Aluminum tapered cantilever reduces mass near the stylus tip for quicker signal transmission
• Please check the product box for the Audio-Technica provided manual with instructions

Description

The Audio-Technica AT-VMx series enhances its premium dual moving magnet cartridges with greater warmth detail and realism. Featuring dual magnets aligned to the stereo groove it delivers excellent channel separation and frequency response. Upgrades like PCUHD copper wire and reduced coil turns improve clarity and transient response. The paratoroidal coil design and center shield plate reduce crosstalk for a cleaner stereo image. Practical features include easy-mount threaded inserts and a V-cut stylus guard for precise placement making the VMx series a refined user-friendly choice for high-quality vinyl playback.

The lightweight microlinear stylus of the AT-VM740xML allows it to trace the record groove with incredible accuracy resulting in nuanced audio reproduction that elliptical and conical styli simply cant match.

All in the DesignThe Vertical Dual Magnet (MM) design closely mirrors the cutter head used to make the vinyl master. The cutter head uses two transducer coils mounted perpendicular to each other at 45 from horizontal to cut the channel: one in each wall of the 90 record groove. AT-VMx cartridges use the same 90 V-Shape configuration as the cutter head. This way the cartridge achieves accurate tracking excellent channel separation high definition of the stereo image and extreme clarity over the entire audio spectrum.

Easy to Install UseEach VMx cartridge body has threaded inserts enabling it to be mounted to a headshell with just two screws no nuts required. And the redesigned stylus protector now includes a V-cut for easy reference of the styluss position when lowering it onto a record.

Interchangeable StyliSince all AT-VMx series cartridges share the same body design and have a removable stylus you can use almost any AT-VMx replacement stylus (excluding mono models) with any VMx cartridge for easy experimentation with sound characteristics.

Highly Efficient GeneratorThe paratoroidal coil construction of the cartridges generator two PCUHD coils per channel one stacked behind the other greatly improves electromagnetic performance while a slight reduction in coil turns* enhances transient response for clean lifelike sound.
