Audio-Technica VM530EN

The VM530EN is a top-end elliptical stylus cartridge in Audio-Technica’s new VM cartridge line – a line that harks back to A-T’s early days as a manufacturer primarily of high-end phono cartridges, while also incorporating today’s advanced technology. Like all VM cartridges, the VM530EN is equipped with dual magnets that are positioned to match the left and right channels in the stereo record groove for outstanding channel separation and extended frequency response. The cartridge’s lightweight 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical nude stylus reduces the execution mass of the vibration system, enabling fuller frequency reproduction and less tracking distortion than a bonded stylus. Includes mounting hardware. Features VM dual magnet cartridge with 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical nude stylus Aluminum cantilever Paratoroidal coils improve generating efficiency Center shield plate between the left and right channels reduces crosstalk Durable low-resonance polymer cartridge housing Specifications
