Newly adopted PCUHD*² coil conductor: This is the first VM-type cartridge to utilize PCUHD*², which is also used in our Hi-Fi audio cables. It delivers powerful bass reproduction and a vast soundstage. Furthermore, by reducing the number of turns in the winding, it achieves a light and responsive sound quality. *² PCUHD: Pure Copper Ultra High Drawability (high-purity oxygen-free copper wire)
High-grade model exclusive hard material cantilever: This high-grade model, equipped with a line-contact stylus, uses boron for its cantilever material. Its superior vibration transmission speed enables quick and accurate sound attack. The stylus tip shape and length have been revised, resulting in a significant weight reduction compared to conventional models. The smaller diameter and shorter length reduce the effective mass, allowing for more accurate tracking of the record's sound.
A diverse lineup of styli to meet your desired sound quality: Equipped with a solid Shibata stylus that excels not only in reproducing high frequencies but also in reproducing rich mid-low frequencies. It excels at expressing the passion of the performance with clear and powerful sound localization. Because the contact area between the stylus tip and the groove is large, the stylus tip is less prone to wear and has a long lifespan.
The body employs a paratoroidal coil structure: The "AT-VMx" series features a unique power generation system called a paratoroidal coil structure. Because the paratoroidal structure is unitized and has no seams in the core, the magnetic flux is held within the specially wound coil. As a result, power generation efficiency is improved and excellent linearity is achieved.
Features threaded cartridge mounting holes: Compatible with integrated tonearms widely used in the global Hi-Fi audio market. The change to threaded holes makes it easier to attach cartridges to integrated tonearms.
A solid Shibata stylus model excelling in rich mid-low frequency reproduction. Audio-Technica's top-of-the-line VM-type cartridge series, a proprietary product of Audio-Technica, has been reborn as the "AT-VM700x/600x/500x" series ("AT-VMx" series). This is the first renewal in nine years since 2016, and the lineup is wide-ranging, from high-grade models equipped with line-contact styli to standard models equipped with elliptical/conical styli. In addition to the best sound quality in VM-type cartridge history, ease of use has also been improved. All models newly adopt PCUHD (high-purity oxygen-free copper) for the coil conductor, achieving powerful bass expression and a vast soundstage. By reducing the number of turns in the winding, the response is improved, resulting in a lighter sound quality and enhanced musical expressiveness. Furthermore, the cantilever material of this high-grade model, "AT-VM750xSH," is made of boron. Its excellent vibration transmission speed enables quick and accurate sound attack. The stylus tip has also been reduced in size, resulting in a significant reduction in weight. Because it can more accurately trace the grooves of the record, it can faithfully reproduce even the finest details of the sound.
The change to a threaded ridge makes it easier to attach to integrated tonearms. In addition, a V-shaped cut has been added to the protector to serve as a guide for the stylus tip position, improving the visibility of the stylus tip when dropping the needle onto the record.
