Product Description
Audio Technica VM-610 Mono Phono Cartridge Mono LP model with a conical bonded stylus in the specialised 600 series mono body is dedicated to monaural sound. The internal wiring allows for reduced surface noise and stable sound reproduction.
Dual Magnet Design
Instead of using a single, large magnet, there are two magnets arranged in the shape of a "V". The two magnets are positioned precisely to match the positions of the left and right channels in the stereo groove walls. Consequently, the VM design ensures outstanding channel separation, extended frequency response and superb tracking.
Paratoroidal System
Paratoroidal coils improve generating efficiency and offers superb linearity since leakage of magnetic flux in this continuous and unitised magnetic circuit is low. The permeability of the cores is also optimised through the use of laminated cores.
Mono body
For monaural operation, left and right channels should be connected. A mono body on which left and right terminals are connected internally reduces record noise which is primarily in the vertical direction and obtains a highly focused ‘centre’ sound image compared with stereo bodies.
Conical Bonded Stylus
The benefit of conical styli, even if the cartridge is "lean", is the ball surface of the stylus touches the groove of vinyl records precisely. Due to its stability, it has been used widely at radio stations.
Key Features
- Conical Bonded stylus for less critical tilt angle adjustment allowing more flexible use on various tonearms
- VM type dual magnet design ensures outstanding channel separation, extended frequency response and superb tracking
- Lightweight aluminium cantilever allows for a faithful reading of the record groove
- Mono body terminating left and right channels reduces surface noise
- Durable low resonance polymer housing
