Audio-Technica's new AT-VMx series premium dual moving magnet (MM) cartridges deliver a rich, detailed, and expansive sound. Designed to mirror the vinyl cutting head, they use dual magnets for exceptional channel separation and extended frequency response.

The VMx series features a paratoroidal coil generator with PCUHD® copper wire and reduced coil turns, resulting in improved efficiency, reduced crosstalk, and stunningly clear, immediate audio. The AT-VM530xEN model stands out with its lightweight 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical nude stylus, which reduces vibration system mass for better frequency response and less distortion than a bonded stylus.

For user convenience, VMx cartridges include threaded inserts for easier mounting and a V-cut stylus protector for precise stylus positioning.

Effortless Installation & Use

Mounting your VMx cartridge is incredibly simple thanks to threaded inserts in the cartridge body, eliminating the need for nuts—just two screws secure it to your headshell. Plus, a new V-cut in the redesigned stylus protector makes it easy to precisely position the stylus when cueing a record.

Upgrade Flexibility with Interchangeable Styli

The AT-VMx series offers remarkable flexibility. Since all VMx cartridges share the same body and feature a removable stylus, you can easily swap almost any AT-VMx replacement stylus (excluding mono models) onto any VMx cartridge. This allows for simple experimentation with different sound characteristics.

Superior Sound from PCUHD® Coils

Experience clean, lifelike audio thanks to the highly efficient generator within each VMx cartridge. Its paratoroidal coil construction utilises two PCUHD® (Pure Copper Ultra High Drawability) coils per channel, stacked for superior electromagnetic performance. This design, combined with a slight reduction in coil turns compared to previous VM series cartridges, significantly enhances transient response for exceptional clarity.
