The VM740ML MicroLine® stylus cartridge is a premier 700 Series model in Audio-Technica’s new VM cartridge line – a line that harks back to A-T’s early days as a manufacturer primarily of high-end phono cartridges, while also incorporating today’s advanced technology. Like all VM cartridges, the VM740ML is equipped with dual magnets that are positioned to match the left and right channels in the stereo record groove for outstanding channel separation and extended frequency response. The cartridge’s MicroLine® stylus allows it to trace the record groove with incredible accuracy, resulting in nuanced audio reproduction that elliptical and conical styli simply can’t match. The stylus’s multilevel shape also wears better than other styli, while reducing the wear on your records. Includes mounting hardware. VM dual magnet cartridge with MicroLine® stylus. Aluminum tapered cantilever. Paratoroidal coils improve generating efficiency. Center shield plate between the left and right channels reduces crosstalk. Die-cast aluminum alloy housing reduces vibration and adds a natural electrical shield.
- Stylus Construction: Nude square shank
- Cantilever: Aluminum tapered pipe
- Stylus Shape: 2.2 x 0.12 mil MicroLine®

Experience vinyl with stunning realism through the Audio-Technica AT-VM745xML VMx Microlinear Phono Cartridge. Its dual moving magnet design mirrors the original cutter head for outstanding channel separation and a vivid stereo image. A precision microlinear stylus and solid boron cantilever capture extraordinary detail, tracking grooves with accuracy that surpasses standard styli. Paratoroidal coils, a center shield plate, and a rigid metal body reduce crosstalk and resonance for clean, dynamic sound. Easy installation, interchangeable styli, and broad headshell compatibility make this cartridge a refined upgrade for passionate listeners seeking warmth, clarity, and lifelike musical performance.

The Audio-Technica AT-VMx series elevates premium dual moving magnet cartridge performance with a richer, more realistic sound that brings vinyl to life. Its vertically aligned dual magnets mirror the original cutting head for outstanding channel separation, accurate tracking, and a wide, balanced frequency response. Advanced paratoroidal coil construction with high-purity copper wire and reduced coil turns enhances transient response while minimizing crosstalk for a clean, precise stereo image. An elliptical bonded stylus on an aluminum cantilever ensures detailed playback, while the low-resonance polymer body controls vibration. User-friendly touches like threaded mounting inserts, a V-cut stylus guard, and interchangeable styli make the VMx series an easy, versatile upgrade for refined analog listening.

This elliptical bonded stylus makes it easy to upgrade the sound quality of any turntable equipped with an ATN3600L or ATN3600LC conical stylus, such as the turntables in our popular AT-LP60X series. Modeled after the venerable ATN3600L, which has sold by the millions and been trusted by countless music lovers for more than 50 years, the ATN3600LE features a 0.3 x 0.7 elliptical stylus for enhanced sound quality while remaining reliable and easy to use. Audio-Technica has been perfecting the art of transducer technology since our first handcrafted phono cartridge in 1962.
