Description


Audio Technica VM540ML Dual Moving Magnet Stereo Cartridge

The VM540ML is a standard model featuring a Microlinear stylus, renowned for its low distortion even on the inner circumference of a record. The consistent curvature radius of the stylus tip ensures that distortion remains minimal, providing high-fidelity sound reproduction throughout the lifespan of the cartridge.

Internationally Patented Dual Magnet Design

Audio Technica's internationally patented Dual Magnet design is integrated into the VM540ML cartridge, faithfully replicating the structure of the cutter head. By arranging two magnets in a "V" shape rather than using a single large magnet, this design ensures precise positioning to match the left and right channels in the stereo groove walls. As a result, the VM design delivers exceptional channel separation, extended frequency response, and superb tracking, preserving the nuances of your vinyl records with accuracy.

Para-Toroidal Generating System

The VM540ML cartridge utilises para-toroidal coils to enhance generating efficiency and ensure superb linearity. With minimal leakage of magnetic flux in this continuous and unitised magnetic circuit, distortion is kept low, and sonic accuracy is maintained. The use of laminated cores further optimises permeability, contributing to the cartridge's outstanding performance.

Centre Shield Plate for Reduced Crosstalk

Featuring a permalloy centre shield plate, the VM540ML effectively separates left and right channels, suppressing electrical crosstalk to below 40dB. This ensures clear and detailed sound reproduction, mirroring the crosstalk value found in the grooves of the record itself.

500 Series Compatibility

The VM540ML is compatible with the 500 series, featuring a standard cartridge body equipped with para-toroidal coils, a centre shield plate, and 6N-OFC coil wire, delivering exceptional performance consistent with other cartridges in the series.

Microlinear Stylus

The Microlinear profile diamond stylus of the VM540ML offers high-frequency response with minimal wear and distortion compared to elliptical or conventional linear contact styli. Enjoy accurate playback and superior sound quality with this high-performance cartridge from Audio Technica.
