Audio Technica VM670SP Dual Moving Magnet Mono Cartridge for Shellac or Phonograph Records | Audio Emotion

Product Description

AT-VM670xSP 

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.

The AT-VM670xSP cartridge is designed for playing 78 RPM monaural 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. 

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.

Interchangeable Styli

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.
