Audio Technica VM740ML Dual Moving Magnet Stereo Cartridge with Microlinear Stylus

Experience unparalleled audio fidelity with the Audio Technica VM740ML Dual Moving Magnet Stereo Cartridge. This high-end model features a Microlinear stylus housed in an aluminium die-cast alloy body, delivering outstanding high-frequency reproduction and clear sound image localisation.

Patented Dual Magnet Design

Built upon Audio Technica's internationally-patented Dual Magnet design, the VM740ML cartridge replicates the structure of the cutter head for exceptional performance. The dual magnets are arranged in a "V" shape, precisely matching the positions of the left and right channels in the stereo groove walls. This innovative design ensures remarkable channel separation, extended frequency response, and superb tracking.

Para-Toroidal Generating System

Equipped with para-toroidal coils, the VM740ML cartridge offers improved generating efficiency and superb linearity. The continuous and unitised magnetic circuit minimises leakage of magnetic flux, while the use of laminated cores optimises permeability. This results in pristine audio reproduction with minimal distortion.

Centre Shield Plate for Reduced Crosstalk

Featuring a permalloy centre shield plate, the VM740ML cartridge effectively separates left and right channels, suppressing electrical crosstalk to below 40dB. This ensures a clean and precise audio signal, similar to the crosstalk value found in the record grooves themselves.

700 Series Excellence

As part of the prestigious 700 series, the VM740ML cartridge boasts a top-end die-cast aluminium alloy housing. This robust body reduces unwanted vibration, enhancing the superior sound quality delivered by high-performance line contact styli.

Microlinear Stylus for Superior Performance

The Microlinear profile diamond stylus offers high-frequency response with minimal wear and distortion compared to elliptical or conventional linear contact styli. This ensures faithful reproduction of your vinyl records, capturing every nuance and detail with precision.

  • Aluminium Tapered Cantilever: The stylus features an aluminium tapered cantilever, providing durability and precise tracking for optimal performance.
  • Para-Toroidal Coils: Enhanced generating efficiency is achieved through para-toroidal coils, ensuring accurate signal reproduction and improved fidelity.
  • Centre Shield Plate: A centre shield plate is positioned between the left and right channels, effectively reducing crosstalk for clearer audio separation.
  • Die-Cast Aluminium Alloy Housing: The stylus is housed in a die-cast aluminium alloy housing, which serves to reduce vibration and acts as a natural electrical shield, preserving the purity of the audio signal.
