The AT-VM670xSP cartridge is specifically engineered for playing 78 RPM monaural records. Its dual magnets are internally connected to minimise record noise and produce a highly focused "centre" sound image, a distinct advantage over stereo cartridges.
Like all VMx cartridges, the AT-VM670xSP utilises PCUHD® (Pure Copper Ultra High Drawability), which contributes to richer, more nuanced audio reproduction. We've also slightly reduced the number of coil turns to enhance transient response, allowing the cartridge to react more quickly to signal changes. This delivers stunningly clean music with lifelike immediacy. The stylus's 3.0 mil curvature radius makes it an excellent choice for playing 78s from various eras.
Key Features:
- AT-VMx dual moving magnet cartridge with 3.0 mil conical bonded stylus
- 3.0 mil conical bonded stylus designed for playing 78 RPM records
- Paratoroidal coils improve generating efficiency for enhanced transient response
- PCUHD® (Pure Copper Ultra High Drawability) coils – and fewer coil turns – deliver highly responsive, three dimensional sound reproduction with excellent transient response
- 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
- Durable low-resonance polymer housing
- Aluminum cantilever
- Mono body terminating left and right channels reduces surface noise
- Compatible with any turntable headshell that accepts 1/2" cartridges
