Audio-Technica - AT-VM750xSH/H VMx Headshell & Shibata Dual MM Cartridge Combo Kit - Black

The AT-VM740xML/H combo kit includes the AT-VM740xML microlinear dual moving magnet cartridge premounted on the AT-LT10 universal 1/2"-mount headshell. The AT-VM740xML is part of the updated AT-VMx series which introduces material and design changes to further refine the VM sound offering responsive playback that is especially sensitive to the dynamism of musical expression.FeaturesAT-VM740xML Dual Moving Magnet 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” CartridgesAT-LT10 Universal ½”-Mount HeadshellFor 4-Pin Turntable Cartridges with or Without Threaded InsertsUltra-Lightweight Aluminum Die-Cast Body Keeps Vibration to the Bare MinimumElongated Through Holes Enable Precise Cartridge Positioning and Overhang AdjustmentOFC (Oxygen-Free Copper) Lead Wires for Exceptional Sound QualitySlip-Resistant Finger Lift Allows Stylus to Be Placed Precisely on the RecordIncludes Mounting ScrewsWhat's in the BoxAT-VM740xML/H VMx Headshell & Microlinear Dual MM Cartridge Combo KitInstallation HardwareManualSpecificationsType: VMFrequency response: 20 to 25000 HzOutput voltage: 3.2 mV (1 kHz 5 cm/sec.)Channel separation: 25 dB (1 kHz)Output balance: 1.0 dB (1 kHz)Tracking force: 1.8 to 2.2 g (2.0 g standard)Coil impedance: 3.2 k ohms (1 kHz)DC resistance: 750 ohmsRecommended load impedance: 47 k ohmsRecommended load capacitance: 150 to 250 pF<

The AT33xMONO/II employs a “True Mono” dual moving coil design that eliminates vertical noise producing clear mono sound with strong bass and reduced surface noise—ideal even on stereo systems. A 0.65 mil conical nude stylus precisely tracks mono grooves supported by a piano-wire suspension for improved accuracy and mid-low range impact. Its composite zinc aluminum and polymer body minimizes resonance for balanced playback while PCOCC coils ensure pure signal transmission. A samarium cobalt magnet and pure iron yoke maximize efficiency delivering warm richly textured sound.FeaturesDual Moving Coil Mono Cartridge with Conical Nude StylusPCOCC Coils Ensure Smooth Signal TransmissionComposite Body Reduces Resonance for Balanced SoundPreserves The Warmth & Fullness of Acoustic InstrumentsMaterial DifferenceThe AT33xMONO/II’s rigid duralumin pipe cantilever which tapers toward the conical stylus tip for improved response is linked with a firm suspension mechanism slightly lowering the dynamic compliance. “True Mono” PCOCC coils are positioned at the cantilever’s fulcrum to ensure pure transmission of horizontal mono signals.Sound BodyEach AT33x Series cartridge body is constructed of three distinct materials – die-cast zinc aluminum and high-rigidity polymer – optimally arranged to reduce and disperse resonance across the cartridge body so that no frequency predominates during playback. Threaded holes are incorporated into the body for easy mounting.Full Warm SoundThe redesigned AT33x Series cartridges deliver that classic analog sound rich in detail across the audio spectrum with lifelike expressiveness in the mid to low frequencies. The AT33xMONO/II preserves the warmth and fullness of acoustic instruments such as those captured on mono jazz recordings from the 1950s and ’60s.

The AT-OC9XML Dual Moving Coil cartridge with Microlinear stylus is designed to provide outstanding channel separation. The Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting (PCOCC) coils ensure pure audio transmission and are aligned in a reverse V-shaped formation to exert less pressure on the stylus, thereby minimizing distortion. Audio quality is further enhanced by a rigid aluminum body that reduces resonance, a neodymium magnet and premium permendur yoke that increase the magnetic energy, and the nude Microlinear stylus on a boron cantilever that tracks the record groove with incredible accuracy, low distortion and high-transient response. The cartridge body has been pre-threaded, enabling it to be mounted to a headshell or integral tonearm with just two screws – no nuts required. Dual Moving Coil design, featuring independent coils for both left and right channels, provides outstanding channel separation. The coils are aligned in a reverse V-shaped formation, which exerts less pressure on the stylus, thereby minimizing distortion. The cartridge body is pre-threaded, enabling it to be mounted onto the headshell or integral tonearm with just two screws – no nuts required. Nude Microlinear stylus and boron cantilever provide lower distortion and high transient response. A neodymium magnet and a premium permendur yoke with high saturation flux density and outstanding magnetic properties further enhance the concentrated magnetic field of the coil gap. Aluminum body minimizes unwanted vibration for reduced resonance and superior audio reproduction. Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting process (PCOCC) is used for the coils to achieve pure signal transfer.
