As its name suggests, the AT-VM610xMONO is specifically designed for playing mono records. Its dual magnets are internally connected to minimise record noise and produce a highly focused "centre" sound image, something stereo cartridges can't achieve.
Like all VMx cartridges, the AT-VM610xMONO features PCUHD® (Pure Copper Ultra High Drawability), which results in richer, more nuanced audio reproduction. We've also slightly reduced the number of coil turns to improve transient response. This allows the cartridge to react more quickly to signal changes, delivering stunningly clean music with lifelike immediacy. The AT-VM610xMONO's 0.6 mil conical bonded stylus precisely tracks the centre of the record groove for reliable performance and excellent fidelity.
