Features

AT-VM740xML Dual Moving Magnet Cartridge

AT-VMx dual moving magnet cartridge with microlinear stylus
Microlinear stylus tracks the record groove with incredible accuracy, providing more nuanced sound reproduction than elliptical and conical styli
Paratoroidal coils improve generating efficiency for enhanced channel separation, channel balance, and transient response
PCUHD (Pure Copper Ultra High Drawability) coils – and fewer coil turns – deliver highly responsive, three-dimensional sound reproduction with excellent transient response
Center shield plate between the left and right channels reduces crosstalk for clear stereo sound
Die-cast aluminum housing reduces vibrations and resonance
Threaded inserts make cartridge easier to mount, especially to integrated tonearms
V-cut in the flip-up stylus protector shows stylus position, serving as a guide for lowering the stylus onto a record
Aluminum tapered cantilever reduces mass near the stylus tip for quicker signal transmission
Compatible with any turntable headshell that accepts 1/2″ cartridges
Compatible with most AT-VMx series replacement styli,* offering a wide choice of options for every budget and application

*Excludes mono models

AT-LT10 Universal Headshell

Universal ½”-mount headshell for 4-pin turntable cartridges with or without threaded inserts
Ultra-lightweight aluminum die-cast body keeps vibration to the bare minimum
Elongated through holes enable precise cartridge positioning and overhang adjustment
OFC (oxygen-free copper) lead wires for exceptional sound quality
Slip-resistant finger lift allows stylus to be placed precisely on the record
Includes mounting screws

AT-VM740xML/H

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.

The paratoroidal coil construction of the cartridge’s generator – two PCUHD coils per channel, one stacked behind the other – greatly improves electromagnetic performance, while a slight reduction in coil turns* enhances transient response for clean, lifelike sound.

*Compared to VM series cartridges.

Since all AT-VMx series cartridges share the same body design and have a removable stylus, you can use almost any AT-VMNx replacement stylus* with any VMx cartridge for easy experimentatuioin with sound characteristics.
