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.
Solid Boron Cantilever and Metal Body
The three premium VMx models (AT-VM760x, AT-VM750x, AT-VM745x) feature a solid boron cantilever. Naturally lightweight and rigid, boron transmits signals from the record groove faster than an aluminum cantilever. The result is more accurate sound reproduction that’s particularly noticeable on dynamic musical passages. The die-cast aluminum body reduces vibrations and resonance.
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-VMx dual moving magnet cartridge with special line contact stylus
Special line contact stylus traces the record groove with extreme accuracy, delivering premium high-frequency response and detailed spatial expression
Solid boron cantilever quickly transmits vibrations from the record groove, ensuring accurate reproduction of dynamic musical passages
Die-cast aluminum body reduces vibrations and resonance
Paratoroidal coils improve generating efficiency for enhanced channel separation, channel balance, and transient response
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
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
