Audio-Technica AT-VM740xML/H Nude-Microlinear Dual MM Moving Magnet Cartridge/Headshell Combo

Description

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.

Premium PCUHD® (Pure Copper Ultra High Drawability) Coils

Highly Efficient Generator

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.

Flexibility to Upgrade

Interchangeable Styli

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.

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

• 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
