The VM760SLC special line contact stylus cartridge is the flagship 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 VM760SLC 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 ultra-lightweight special line contact stylus allows it to trace the record groove with incredible accuracy and minimum abrasion, resulting in nuanced audio reproduction, low distortion and low record wear. Includes mounting hardware. VM dual magnet cartridge with special line contact 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 rectangular shank

The AT-VM760xSL elevates vinyl listening with a refined dual moving magnet design that delivers greater warmth, detail, and realism across the entire frequency range. Precisely aligned magnets mirror the cutting head geometry for exceptional channel separation, balance, and a stable stereo image. An ultra-light special line contact stylus traces grooves with remarkable accuracy and minimal wear, while a solid boron cantilever transmits musical energy faster for cleaner transients and lifelike dynamics. Paratoroidal coils and a center shield plate reduce crosstalk for pristine clarity, and the rigid metal body minimizes resonance. Threaded inserts and a V-cut stylus guard make installation simple, creating a premium cartridge that blends precision engineering with everyday usability.
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.
The Audio-Technica AT-VMx series enhances its premium dual moving magnet cartridges with greater warmth detail and realism. Featuring dual magnets aligned to the stereo groove it delivers excellent channel separation and frequency response. Upgrades like PCUHD® copper wire and reduced coil turns improve clarity and transient response. The paratoroidal coil design and center shield plate reduce crosstalk for a cleaner stereo image. 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.As its name indicates the AT-VM610xMONO is designed for playing mono records. The dual magnets in this cartridge are internally connected to reduce record noise and obtain a highly focused “center” sound image that stereo cartridges can’t provide.FeaturesAT-VMx Dual Moving Magnet CartridgeConical Bonded Stylus (0.6 mil)Paratoroidal Coils Improve Transient ResponseCenter Shield Plate Reduces CrosstalkDurable Low-Resonance Polymer HousingAluminum CantileverCompatible with Any Turntable Headshell That Accepts 1/2” CartridgesPCUHD® (Pure Copper Ultra High Drawability)Like all VMx cartridges the AT-VM610xMONO features PCUHD® (Pure Copper Ultra High Drawability) resulting in richer more nuanced audio reproduction. The number of coil turns has also been slightly reduced to improve transient response allowing the cartridge to react more quickly to signal changes for stunningly clean music with lifelike immediacy. The 0.6 mil conical bonded stylus of the AT-VM610xMONO tracks the center of the record groove for reliable performance and excellent fidelity.Easy to Install & UseEach VMx cartridge body has threaded inserts enabling it to be mounted to a headshell with just two screws
