All in the Design
The 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 & Use
Each 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 Styli
Since 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 Generator
The 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.
