Audio-Technica Consumer AT-VM670xSP Dual Moving Magnet Phono Cartridge | Conical Bonded, Mono, 78 rpm
Enhance the warmth and authenticity of your vinyl playback with the AT-VM670xSP Dual Moving Magnet Phono Cartridge from Audio-Technica. As a member of the AT-VMx series, this specific cartridge is equipped with a 3.0 mil conical bonded stylus designed with a curvature radius tailored for 78 rpm mono records. In contrast to its stereo equivalent, this cartridge features dual magnets that are interconnected, resulting in a low-noise, center-focused sound image. To further minimize surface noise, the mono body combines both left and right channels. Like other AT-VMx cartridges, it incorporates optimized PCUHD copper in both paratoroidal coils, which have fewer turns compared to earlier models. This design contributes to a 3D sound response with enhanced transient response, allowing for a quicker reaction to changes in your music.
Easy 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
- Durable low-resonance polymer housing
- Aluminum cantilever
- Works on any turntable headshell that uses 1/2" cartridges
