Audio-Technica Consumer AT-VM520xEB Dual Moving Magnet Phono Cartridge | Elliptical Bonded

Enhance the warmth and authenticity of your vinyl playback with the AT-VM520xEB Dual Moving Magnet Phono Cartridge from Audio-Technica. This cartridge, part of the AT-VMx series, is equipped with a 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical bonded stylus designed to enhance tracking accuracy within your record grooves, resulting in superior audio reproduction quality. Like other stereo AT-VMx cartridges, it is engineered to closely replicate the cutter heads used in creating vinyl masters, employing the same 90° V-shape configuration to optimize tracking precision, channel separation, and clarity. Additional features include optimized PCUHD copper in both coils, simplified installation, and more.

PCUHD Copper

• Pure Copper Ultrahigh Drawability, commonly referred to as PCUHD, is utilized for the copper wire found in the two paratoroidal coils of the cartridge's generator.
  
  
• Two coils are supplied for each channel, with one positioned behind the other to enhance efficiency.
  
  
• In comparison to earlier models, the number of coil turns has been decreased in the AT-VMx, allowing the cartridge to respond more swiftly to variations in your music.
  
  
• This configuration is designed to produce a richer and more detailed sonic reproduction that reacts more promptly, resulting in clearer sound and an enhanced transient response.
