Audio-Technica AT-VM740xML/H VMx Headshell

Description

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. 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 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 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.
