Audio-Technica AT-VMx Series: Premium Sound, Engineered for Detail

Experience Warmth and Realism in Every Note
The Audio-Technica AT-VMx series redefines high-fidelity vinyl playback with enhanced warmth, realism, and rich musical detail. As a refined evolution of Audio-Technica’s acclaimed dual moving magnet (MM) cartridges, the VMx line delivers an expansive soundstage that brings recordings to life.

Dual Moving Magnet Design for Studio-Accurate Imaging

Like all Audio-Technica MM cartridges, the VMx series mirrors the geometry of the original record-cutting head. Two precisely positioned magnets align with the left and right channels in the stereo groove, ensuring exceptional channel separation and extended frequency response. This faithful signal reproduction captures the spatial depth and dynamics of the original master.

Advanced Generator Technology for Cleaner Audio

At the heart of every VMx cartridge is a paratoroidal coil system, featuring two stacked coils per channel for superior efficiency and reduced distortion. A new center shield plate minimizes crosstalk, preserving a crisp stereo image. The coils are wound with PCUHD® (Pure Copper Ultra High Drawability)* wire, enhancing signal purity for richer, more nuanced sound. Fewer coil turns improve transient response, enabling faster reaction to musical dynamics and delivering clean, lifelike audio.

*Key Characteristics of PCUHD®
High Purity: It is a 4N-grade material, meaning it has a copper purity of 99.99% or higher.
Low Oxygen: Through a unique manufacturing process using noble gases rather than gas burners, oxygen content is controlled to 5 ppm or less, which is superior to standard oxygen-free copper.
High Drawability: Its name comes from its extreme malleability, which allows it to be drawn into superfine wires (as thin as 0.04 mm) without breaking or including impurities.
Acoustic Benefits: Audiophiles use it because it is claimed to provide a more detailed soundstage, tighter bass, and improved signal clarity compared to standard stock cables.

Since all AT-VMx and VM Series cartridges share the same body design and have a removable stylus, you can use almost any AT-VMNx or VMN replacement stylus* with any VMx or VM cartridge for easy experimentation with sound characteristics.

Stylus

This was a replacement for the conical stylus on an OEM AT100. It's better in every way.

VM520EB

Couldn't ask for better experience, contact knew exactly which stylus I needed and the improved sound quality makes it worth every cent

Technical support

Thought I needed a new stylus but the original part number was obsoleted. Support to define a replacement was very good. However, the problem I have needs additional attention which is underway.
