Practical features include easy-mount threaded inserts and a V-cut stylus guard for precise placement making the VMx series a refined user-friendly choice for high-quality vinyl playback.The lightweight microlinear stylus of the AT-VM740xML allows it to trace the record groove with incredible accuracy resulting in nuanced audio reproduction that elliptical and conical styli simply can’t match.FeaturesAT-VM740xML VMx Microlinear Phono CartridgeMicrolinear StylusParatoroidal Coils Improve Channel Separation Channel Balance and Transient ResponseCenter Shield Plate Reduces CrosstalkDurable Low-Resonance Polymer HousingAluminum CantileverCompatible with Any Turntable Headshell That Accepts 1/2” CartridgesAll in the DesignThe Vertical Dual Magnet (MM) design closely mirrors the cutter head used to make the vinyl master. The cutter head uses two transducer coils mounted perpendicular to each other at 45° from horizontal to cut the channel: one in each wall of the 90° record groove. AT-VMx cartridges use the same 90° V-Shape configuration as the cutter head. This way the cartridge achieves accurate tracking excellent channel separation high definition of the stereo image and extreme clarity over the entire audio spectrum.Easy to Install & UseEach VMx cartridge body has threaded inserts enabling it to be mounted to a headshell with just two screws – no nuts required. And the redesigned stylus protector now includes a V-cut for easy reference of the stylus’s position when lowering it onto a record.&
