The Audio Technica AT-VM95E is a kit that includes the AT-VM95E cartridge and the AT-HS6BK cartridge holder (shell).
The AT-VM95E cartridge with its dual moving magnet design features a special coil construction that enhances the efficiency of the moving system and ensures perfect contact between the stylus tip and the record groove. Additionally, the cartridge incorporates a special converter design that eliminates any loss of sound information and provides the highest efficiency in the conversion system.
The elliptical stylus tip in combination with the aluminum headshell minimizes vibrations. You can always choose a different stylus from the VM95 series: elliptical nude, microlinear, or Shibata. Any stylus wears out over time, so it's important to have the option to purchase a replacement.
Features:
- The AT-VM95E features an improved design with a more rigid low-resonance body.
- The newly developed radial damping ring improves transient response and expands the frequency range up to 22,000 Hz.
- Aluminum pipe cantilever.
- Increased output voltage of 4 mV.
- Two threaded inserts in the cartridge body allow for easy installation on the shell or tonearm with just two screws, without the need for nuts.
