Audio-Technica VM540ML/H Headshell/Cartridge Combo Kit, Red
Audio-Technica VM540ML/H The VM540ML/H combo kit includes the VM540ML MicroLine dual moving magnet cartridge premounted on the AT-HS10BK universal 1/2"-mount headshell. The VM540ML MicroLine stylus cartridge is the premier 500 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. Product Highlights: VM dual magnet cartridge with MicroLine stylus Aluminum cantilever Paratoroidal coils improve generating efficiency Center shield plate between the left and right channels reduces crosstalk Durable low-resonance polymer cartridge housing Universal 1/2"-mount headshell for 4-pin turntable cartridges Product Features: A-T’s Dual Magnet Design Replicates the Structure of the Cutter Head Instead of using a single, large magnet, the two magnets are arranged in the shape of a 'V'. The two magnets are positioned precisely to match the positions of the left and right channels in the stereo groove walls. Consequently, the VM design ensures outstanding channel separation, extended frequency response and superb tracking. MicroLine Stylus MicroLine profile diamond stylus offers high frequency response with less wear and distortion than elliptical or conventional linear contact styli. 500 Series Standard cartridge body fitted with the para-toroidal coils, centre shield plate, and 6N-OFC coil wire which is the same as 700 series.
