Audio-Technica Consumer Dual Moving Magnet Phono Cartridge & Headshell Combo Kit | Microlinear, Aluminum

To achieve a comprehensive transformation of your vinyl audio experience, equip your tonearm with the Dual Moving Magnet Phono Cartridge & Headshell Combo Kit from Audio-Technica. This kit comprises the AT-LT10 universal headshell along with the pre-mounted AT-VM740xML dual moving magnet cartridge featuring a Microlinear stylus. Both components belong to the AT-VMx series, and the cartridge is specifically designed to enhance warmth and authenticity in your analog audio playback. The stylus is engineered to accurately trace the grooves, delivering precision that exceeds that of traditional elliptical or conical designs. Furthermore, the cartridge is constructed to replicate the cutter heads utilized for vinyl masters, employing the same 90° V-shape configuration to ensure optimal tracking accuracy, channel separation, and clarity. Additional attributes 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 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.

AT-LT10 Headshell

The universal LT10 headshell is compatible with the provided AT-VM740xML dual moving magnet cartridge, as well as any 1/2"-compatible 4-pin cartridges, regardless of whether they have threaded inserts or not. During installation, the elongated holes allow for precise positioning and overhang adjustment using the included mounting screws. After installation, the headshell's ultra-lightweight die-cast aluminum design and OFC (oxygen-free copper) lead wires significantly reduce vibration and ensure high-quality audio output. To prevent you from inadvertently 'dropping the needle on the record', the headshell features a slip-resistant finger lift that offers secure and accurate control over needle placement.
