Audio-Technica AT-VM520xEB/H VM-Type Stereo Cartridge AEX 2026 Award-Winning, Includes AT-LT10 Headshell, Record Needle, Bonded Elliptical Stylus, Aluminum Pipe Cantilever

Equipped with the “AT-LT10” headshell for easy installation on universal arms: It features the lightweight “AT-LT10” headshell (approx. 10.0 g*), which is ideal for mounting threaded cartridges. The lead wires use OFC (oxygen-free copper) conductors, renowned for their sound quality. The die-cast aluminum body ensures stable playback. A diverse lineup of styluses to meet your sound quality needs: This is the standard model featuring a bonded elliptical stylus. This reduces tracing distortion and extracts audio information with greater precision. The body incorporates a paratroidal coil structure: The “AT-VMx” series features a proprietary power generation system known as the paratroidal coil structure. The paratroidal structure is integrated into a single unit, and because the core has no seams, the magnetic flux is retained within the specially wound coil. As a result, power generation efficiency is improved, achieving excellent linearity. Implementation of threaded cartridge mounting holes: Compatible with integrated tonearms, which are widely used in the global Hi-Fi audio market. The switch to a threaded design has made it easier to mount the cartridge on integrated arms. Improved visibility of the stylus tip during operation: With previous VM-type cartridges, we received feedback that the stylus tip was difficult to see when dropping the needle onto the record. While ensuring compatibility with previous models (replacement needles and bodies), this new model improves the visibility of the stylus tip by adding a V-shaped cut to the protector to serve as a guide for the needle tip position.
