Audio-Technica Consumer AT-VM530xEN Dual Moving Magnet Phono Cartridge | Elliptical Nude
Enhance the warmth and authenticity of your vinyl playback with the AT-VM530xEN Dual Moving Magnet Phono Cartridge from Audio-Technica. This cartridge, part of the AT-VMx series, is equipped with a lightweight 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical nude stylus, engineered to provide greater precision while tracking within your record groove. This design ultimately enhances frequency response and reduces distortion when compared to a bonded elliptical stylus. Like other stereo AT-VMx cartridges, it is crafted to closely replicate the cutter heads used in creating vinyl masters, employing the same 90° V-shape configuration to optimize tracking accuracy, 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.
Easy Cartridge Installation
Featuring a V-cut in the AT-VMx flip-up protector, you can quickly reference the position of the stylus, which also acts as a guide for accurately lowering the stylus onto the record. Additionally, the cartridge is simpler to install compared to numerous other models, needing only two screws and no nuts to securely attach to a headshell.
Additional Features
- Two magnets positioned to match the left and right channels in the groove for optimal separation and extended frequency response
- Center shield plate for left/right separation that reduces crosstalk and maintains a clear stereo image
- Durable low-resonance polymer housing
- Aluminum cantilever
- Works on any turntable headshell that uses 1/2" cartridges
- Compatible with all stereo AT-VMx replacement styli
