Audio-Technica VM530EN/H

Features

Headshell/Cartridge Combo Kit: Audio-Technica's VM530EN/H combo kit includes the VM530EN elliptical nude dual moving magnet cartridge premounted on the AT-HS10 universal 1/2"-mount headshell that is suitable ofr S-shaped or J-shaped tonearms.

Dual Moving Magnet Stereo Cartridge: The VM530EN is a top-end elliptical stylus cartridge in Audio-Technica's new VM cartridge line. 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.

• VM dual magnet cartridge with 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical stylus
• Aluminum cantilever
• Paratoroidal coils improve generating efficiency
• Center shield plate between the left and right channels reduces crosstalk
• Durable low-resonance polymer housing

Universal 1/2"-Mount Head Shell: The lightweight aluminum AT-HS10 is a universal 1/2"-mount headshell for 4-pin turntable cartridges and S-shaped or J-shaped tonearms. Featuring an aluminum die-cast body, the AT-HS10 is designed to keep vibration to the bare minimum. The finger lift is positioned near the front of headshell to enable precise placement of the stylus onto the record. The headshell is equipped with gold-plated lead wires for lossless signal transmission and comes with mounting screws.
