The Super OM 5E features improved linearity higher channel separation and an Elliptical stylus that provides balanced and distortion-free playback. The Elliptical diamonds are able to follow the groove oscillations more accurately than spherical diamonds due to their contoured shape. This results in better tracking and less distortion.FeaturesEliptical StylusOrtofon's Lowest-Mass Range of MM CartridgeRemovable Weight-PlateDesigned for Easy Mounting & AlignmentExcellent Stylus CompatibilityStyli Types And InterchangeabilityBy adopting a wide range of replacement styli the OM 5 Series can provide an optimum match for your home system application and budget. In the development of OM cartridges a major objective was to provide the music lover with the opportunity to optimize sound reproduction without having to replace the entire cartridge. Instead of being merely intended for replacement purposes following wear or damage the OM 5 Series allows you to step up to better sound by simply upgrading the stylus.Stylus CompatibilityDepending on your preference styli for the OM 5 Series are easily interchanged and include: styli 3E 5E 10 20 30 40 & 78 and D 25 M.What's in the BoxSuper OM 5E MM Phono CartridgeSpecificationsChannel balance at 1 kHz: 1.5 dBOutput voltage at 1 kHz 5cm/sec: 4 mVChannel separation at 1 kHz: 22 dBChannel separation at 15 kHz: 15 dBFrequency response 20 Hz - 20 kHz: 20-22.000 Hz + 3 / -3Tracking ability at 315Hz at recommended tracking force: 60 µmCompliance dynamic lateral: 20 µm/mNStylus type: EllipticalStylus tip radius: r/R 8/18 µmTracking force range: 1.5-2.0 g (15-20 mN)Tracking force recommended: 1.75 g (17.5 mN)Tracking angle: 20°Internal impedance DC resistance: 1 kOhmCartridge color: Black/BlackCartridge weightincl. extra weight: 5 gexcl. extra weight: 2.5 gRecommended load resistance: 47 kOhmInternal inductance: 580 mHRecommended load capacitance: 200-500 pF

This VM95 Series cartridge with 2.2 x 0.12 mil Microlinear stylus fits half-inch mount turntables. The cartridge offers excellent channel separation and low distortion for outstanding tonal quality. The durable, low-resonance housing includes threaded inserts that enable the cartridge to be mounted to the headshell with just two screws – no nuts required. And since all VM95 Series share the same body, the stylus can be replaced with any of the six interchangeable AT-VMN95 replacement styli. VM Series dual magnet cartridge with 2.2 x 0.12 mil Microlinear stylus. Aluminum cantilever. Durable low-resonance polymer housing. Threaded inserts in cartridge body enable cartridge to be mounted to headshell with just two screws – no nuts required. Compatible with any AT-VMN95 replacement stylus.

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.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.&

The AT-VM95C/H combo kit includes the AT-VM95C dual moving magnet cartridge premounted on the AT-HS6BK headshell. VM dual magnet cartridge with 0.6 mil conical stylus. Aluminum cantilever. Specially wound coils increase output voltage. Durable low-resonance polymer housing. Threaded inserts in cartridge body enable cartridge to be mounted to headshell with just two screws – no nuts or washers required. Compatible with any AT-VMN95 replacement stylus. Universal ½"-mount headshell for 4-pin turntable cartridges.
