Audio-Technica Consumer AT-VM740xML Dual Moving Magnet Phono Cartridge | Microlinear, Aluminum

Enhance the warmth and authenticity of your vinyl playback with the AT-VM740xML Dual Moving Magnet Phono Cartridge from Audio-Technica. This cartridge, part of the AT-VMx series, is equipped with a lightweight microlinear stylus designed to accurately trace the grooves of your records, delivering nuanced sound that surpasses that of traditional elliptical or conical styluses. To further enhance fidelity, the housing is constructed from die-cast aluminum, which reduces resonance, while the tapered aluminum cantilever minimizes mass near the tip, allowing for quicker transmission.

Similar to other stereo AT-VMx cartridges, this model is engineered 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 overall clarity. Additional features include optimized PCUHD copper in both coils, simplified installation, and more.

PCUHD Copper

Pure Copper Ultra High Drawability, commonly referred to as PCUHD, is utilized for the copper wire found in the two paratoroidal coils of the cartridge's generator. Each channel is equipped with two coils, one positioned behind the other to enhance efficiency. In comparison to earlier models, the number of coil turns in the AT-VMx has been decreased to enable the cartridge to respond more swiftly to variations in your music. This design aims to produce a richer and more nuanced sonic reproduction that reacts more promptly, resulting in clearer sound and an enhanced transient response.

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

• 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
  
  
• Works on any turntable headshell that uses 1/2" cartridges
  
  
• Compatible with all stereo AT-VMx replacement styli
