With a specialized body and internal wiring dedicated to monaural sound reproduction, the VM610MONO conical stylus cartridge is designed for playing mono records. Part of the 600 Series in Audio-Technica’s new VM cartridge line - a line that harks back to A-T’s early days as a manufacturer primarily of high-end phono cartridges - the VM610MONO is equipped with dual magnets that are internally connected to reduce record noise and obtain a highly focused “center” sound image that stereo cartridges can’t provide. Includes mounting hardware.
FEATURES
- VM dual magnet cartridge with 0.6 mil conical stylus
- Aluminum cantilever
- Paratoroidal coils improve generating efficiency
- Mono body terminating left and right channels reduces surface noise
- Durable low-resonance polymer housing
