The VM530EN Dual Moving Magnet Cartridge with Elliptical Nude Stylus from Audio-Technica is equipped with dual magnets that are positioned to match the left and right channels in the stereo record groove for enhanced channel separation and extended frequency response. The 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical nude stylus reduces the execution mass of the vibration system, enabling fuller frequency reproduction and less tracking distortion.
- VM dual magnet cartridge with 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical nude stylus
- Aluminum cantilever
- Paratoroidal coils improve generating efficiency
- Center shield plate between the left and right channels reduces crosstalk
- Durable low-resonance polymer housing
