A cartridge for 78s pre-mounted in a headshell
The Audio-Technica VM95SP/H pre-mounts the VM95SP cartridge in a lightweight aluminum AT-HS6BK universal headshell. The headshell is made to fit a standard 4-pin, 1/2-inch mount for compatibility with a wide range of turntables.
The cartridge features a specialized body and internal wiring dedicated to monaural sound reproduction. A conical stylus with a large curvature radius really brings out the wonderful sound buried in those old records. Internally connected dual moving magnets reduce surface noise and create a focused mono center image.
