The VM520EB/H Headshell and Cartridge Combo Kit from Audio-Technica includes the VM520EB elliptical bonded dual moving magnet cartridge pre-mounted on the AT-HS10BK universal 1/2"-mount headshell. The VM520EB features dual magnets that are positioned to match left and right channels in the stereo record groove and provide an increase in channel separation and an extended frequency response. Additionally, the cartridge employs an elliptical bonded stylus to track the record groove with high accuracy for high-quality audio reproduction.
The lightweight AT-HS10BK is a universal 1/2"-mount headshell designed for 4-pin turntable cartridges. The die-cast aluminum body is designed to minimize vibration and provides a finger-lift at the front position to enable precise placement of the stylus onto the record. The gold-plated lead wires offer lossless signal transmission. The headshell ships with mounting hardware.
