The Audio-Technica AT-VMx series enhances its premium dual moving magnet cartridges with greater warmth, detail, and realism. Featuring dual magnets aligned to the stereo groove, it delivers excellent channel separation and frequency response. Upgrades like PCUHD® copper wire and reduced coil turns improve clarity and transient response. The paratoroidal coil design and center shield plate reduce crosstalk for a cleaner stereo image. Practical features include easy-mount threaded inserts and a V-cut stylus guard for precise placement, making the VMx series a refined, user-friendly choice for high-quality vinyl playback.

The AT-VM670xSP cartridge is designed for playing 78 RPM monaural records. The dual magnets in this cartridge are internally connected to reduce record noise and obtain a highly focused “center” sound image that stereo cartridges can’t provide.

PCUHD® (Pure Copper Ultra High Drawability)

Like all VMx cartridges, the AT-VM670xSP features PCUHD® (Pure Copper Ultra High Drawability), resulting in richer, more nuanced audio reproduction. The number of coil turns has also been slightly reduced to improve transient response, allowing the cartridge to react more quickly to signal changes for stunningly clean music with lifelike immediacy. The stylus’s 3.0 mil curvature radius makes it an excellent choice for playing 78s from many different eras.

Easy to Install & Use

Each VMx cartridge body has threaded inserts, enabling it to be mounted to a headshell with just two screws – no nuts required. And the redesigned stylus protector now includes a V-cut for easy reference of the stylus’s position when lowering it onto a record.
