Description
For a complete vinyl audio transformation, outfit your tonearm with this Dual Moving Magnet Phono Cartridge & Headshell Combo Kit from Audio-Technica. This kit includes the AT-LT10 universal headshell and pre-mounted AT-VM740xML dual moving magnet cartridge with Microlinear stylus. Both part of the AT-VMx series, the cartridge is made to add warmth and realism to your analog audio. The stylus is crafted to trace the grooves with incredible accuracy that surpasses that of elliptical or conical versions. The cartridge is designed to mirror cutter heads used for vinyl masters, using the same 90 V-shape configuration for maximum tracking accuracy, channel separation, and clarity. Additional features include optimized PCUHD copper in both coils, easier installation, and more.PCUHD Copper Pure Copper Ultra High Drawability, or PCUHD, is used for the copper wire that's in the two paratoroidal coils of the cartridge's generator. Two coils are provided per channel with one stacked behind the other for better efficiency. Compared to previous generations, the coil turns are reduced in the AT-VMx to help the cartridge more quickly response to changes in your music. This combination is made to result in richer and more nuanced sonic reproduction that reacts more quickly for clean sound and an improved transient response.Easy Cartridge Installation Sporting a V-cut in the AT-VMx flip-up protector, you get quick reference of the stylus position and it also serves as a guide to help with properly lowering the stylus onto the record. The cartridge is also easier to install than many other models, requiring just two screws and no nuts to attach firmly to a headshell.AT-LT10 Headshell The universal LT10 headshell works with the included AT-VM740xML dual moving magnet cartridge, as well as any 1/2"-compatible 4-pin cartridges with or without threaded inserts. When installing, elongated holes enable precision positioning and overhang adjustment with the included mounting screws. Once installed, the headshell's ultra-lightweight die-cast aluminum construction and OFC (oxygen-free copper) lead wires help to drastically minimize vibration and deliver high-quality audio output. To help you not "drop the needle on the record", the headshell is outfitted with a slip-resistant finger lift that provides secure and precise control over needle placement.Additional Features Two magnets positioned to match the left and right channels in the groove for optimal separation and extended frequency response Center shield plate for left/right separation that reduces crosstalk and maintains a clear stereo image Die-cast aluminum housing for low resonance Aluminum cantilever Compatible with all stereo AT-VMx replacement styli
