Description
Microlinear Stylus & Boron Cantilever
The nude Microlinear stylus delivers highly accurate groove tracking and detailed, nuanced sound, while the lightweight solid boron cantilever transfers vibrations quickly for precise reproduction of dynamic musical passages.
High-Efficiency Audio Design
PCUHD copper paratoroidal coils and a center shield plate improve channel separation, reduce crosstalk, and provide a clear, responsive stereo image. The low-resonance die-cast aluminum body further enhances sound quality.
- AT-VMx dual moving magnet cartridge with microlinear stylus.
- Microlinear stylus tracks the record groove with incredible accuracy, providing more nuanced sound reproduction than elliptical and conical styli.
- Significantly lighter stylus tip (compared to previous model) allows for more precise tracing of the record groove.
- Solid boron cantilever quickly transmits vibrations from the record groove, ensuring accurate reproduction of dynamic musical passages.
- Die-cast aluminum housing reduces vibrations and resonance.
- Paratoroidal coils improve generating efficiency for enhanced channel separation, channel balance, and transient response.
- PCUHD (Pure Copper Ultra High Drawability) coils – and fewer coil turns – deliver highly responsive, three-dimensional sound reproduction with excellent transient response.
- Center shield plate between the left and right channels reduces crosstalk for clear stereo sound.
- Threaded inserts make cartridge easier to mount, especially to integrated tonearms.
- V-cut in the flip-up stylus protector shows stylus position, serving as a guide for lowering the stylus onto a record.
- Compatible with any turntable headshell that accepts 1/2″ cartridges.
- Compatible with most AT-VMx series replacement styli (excludes mono models), offering a wide choice of options for every budget and application.
