AT-VM750xSH

The AT-VMx series brings new warmth and realism to Audio-Technica’s premium dual moving magnet (MM) cartridge line, delivering an expansive soundstage that’s alive with musical detail.

Like all our MM cartridges, this updated design closely mirrors the cutter head used to make the vinyl master. It utilizes two magnets, positioned to match the left and right channels in the stereo record groove for outstanding channel separation and extended frequency response. But the new VMx series also introduces material and design changes to further refine the sound, offering responsive playback that is especially sensitive to the dynamism of musical expression.   

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

      *Excludes mono models
