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 AT-VM760xSL is equipped with an ultra-lightweight special line contact stylus that allows it to trace the record groove with incredible accuracy and minimal abrasion. This nuanced audio reproduction is further enhanced by the adoption of a solid boron cantilever which transmits signals about 2.5 times faster than the previous model’s aluminum pipe resulting in more accurate reproduction of dynamic musical passages.FeaturesAT-VMx Dual Moving Magnet CartridgeSpecial Line Contact StylusSolid Boron Cantilever and Metal BodyParatoroidal Coils Improve Channel Separation Channel Balance and Transient ResponseCenter Shield Plate Reduces CrosstalkDurable Low-Resonance Polymer HousingCompatible with Any Turntable Headshell That Accepts 1/2” CartridgesAll 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
