ℹ Product Information
The AT-VMx series brings new warmth and realism to Audio-Technica’s premium dual moving magnet (MM) cartridge line, delivering an expansive soundstage that’s alive with musical detail. This latest renewal of the line introduces material and design changes to further refine the VM sound, offering responsive playback that is especially sensitive to the dynamism of musical expression.
As its name indicates, the AT-VM610xMONO is designed for playing mono records. The dual magnets in this cartridge are internally connected to reduce record noise and obtain a highly focused “centre” sound image that stereo cartridges can’t provide.
Features
- AT-VMx dual moving magnet cartridge with 0.6 mil conical bonded stylus
- 0.6 mil conical bonded stylus tracks the centre of the record groove for reliable performance and excellent fidelity
- 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
- Aluminium cantilever
- Mono body terminating left and right channels reduces surface noise
- Compatible with any turntable headshell that accepts 1/2" cartridges
- Made in Japan
- Expansive soundstage
Easy to Install & Use
Each AT-VMx cartridge body has threaded inserts, enabling it to be mounted to a headshell with just two screws – no nuts required. And the redesigned stylus protector now includes a V-cut for easy reference of the stylus’s position when lowering it onto a record.
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.
All in the Design
The Vertical Dual Magnet (VM) design closely mirrors the cutter head to make the vinyl master.
The standard cutter head (used to record the vinyl master) uses two transducer coils, mounted perpendicular to each other at 45 degrees from horizontal, to cut the channel: one in each wall of the 90 degree record groove.
The AT-VMx cartridges uses the same 90 degree V-shape configuration as the cutter head. This way, the cartridge achieves accurate tracking, excellent channel separation, high definition of the stereo image and extreme clarity over the entire audio spectrum.
Specifications
- Frequency Response: 20 to 20,000 Hz
- Vertical Tracking Angle: 20°
- Tracking Force: 1.8 to 2.2g (2.0 g standard)
- Stylus Construction: Conical bonded (3.0 mil)
- Recommended Load Impedance: 47 k ohms
