In detail

About the AT-VM520xEB/H

The AT-VM520xEB/H combo kit includes the AT-VM520xEB elliptical bonded dual moving magnet cartridge premounted on the AT-LT10 universal 1/2"-mount headshell. The AT-VM520xEB is part of the updated AT-VMx series, which introduces material and design changes to further refine the VM sound, offering responsive playback that is especially sensitive to the dynamism of musical expression.

The paratoroidal coil construction of the cartridge’s generator – two PCUHD coils per channel, one stacked behind the other – greatly improves electromagnetic performance, while a slight reduction in coil turns* enhances transient response for clean, lifelike sound.

Since all AT-VMx and VM Series cartridges share the same body design and have a removable stylus, you can use almost any AT-VMNx or VMN replacement stylus* with any VMx or VM cartridge for easy experimentation with sound characteristics.

Features

  • AT-VMx dual moving magnet cartridge with 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical bonded stylus

  • 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical bonded stylus tracks the record groove with accuracy for outstanding audio reproduction

  • Paratoroidal coils improve generating efficiency for enhanced channel separation, channel balance, and transient response 

  • PCUHD (Pure Copper Ultra High Drawability) coils – and fewer coil turns – deliver highly responsive, three-dimensional sound reproduction with excellent transient response

  • Center shield plate between the left and right channels reduces crosstalk for clear stereo sound

  • Threaded inserts make cartridge easier to mount, especially to integrated tonearms

  • V-cut in the flip-up stylus protector shows stylus position, serving as a guide for lowering the stylus onto a record

  • Durable low-resonance polymer housing 

  • Aluminum cantilever

  • Compatible with any turntable headshell that accepts 1/2" cartridges

  • Compatible with most AT-VMx series replacement styli,* offering a wide choice of options for every budget and application
