The AT-VMx series brings new warmth and realism to Audio-Technicas premium dual moving magnet (MM) cartridge line, delivering an expansive soundstage thats alive with musical detail.
Aligning with our founder’s belief that high-quality audio should be accessible to all, the AT-VMx Series is unmatched in delivering a truly affordable high-fidelity audio experience.
Since all AT-VMx series cartridges share the same body design and have a removable stylus, you can use almost any AT-VMNx replacement stylus* with any VMx cartridge for easy experimentation with sound characteristics.
All AT-VMx cartridges are compatible with any turntable headshell that accepts 1/2 cartridges. Threaded inserts in the body enable the cartridge to be mounted to a headshell with just two screws no nuts required.
*Excludes mono models
The three premium VMx models (AT-VM760x, AT-VM750x, AT-VM745x) feature a solid boron cantilever. Naturally lightweight and rigid, boron transmits signals from the record groove faster than an aluminum cantilever. The result is more accurate sound reproduction thats particularly noticeable on dynamic musical passages. The die-cast aluminum body reduces vibrations and resonance.
The special line contact stylus is shaped to track the record groove with the highest level of precision, resulting in excellent high-frequency response, low distortion and minimum abrasion. The special line contact stylus makes more surface contact than any other stylus shape. It should be noted that due to its high-fidelity, the line contact stylus may produce more noise on heavily worn records. The line contact tip is used on our higher-end cartridges.
