AT-VMN50xSH / Replacement Stylus

The AT-VMx series brings new warmth and realism to Audio-Technica’s premium dual moving magnet (MM) cartridge line, delivering an expansive soundstage that’s alive with musical detail.

Aligning with our founder's belief that high-quality audio should be accessible to all, the AT-VMx Series is unmatched in delivering a truly affordable high-fidelity audio experience.

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

All AT-VMx cartridges are compatible with any turntable headshell that accepts 1/2” cartridges. Threaded inserts in the body enable the cartridge to be mounted to a headshell with just two screws – no nuts required.

Solid Boron Cantilever and Metal Body

The three premium VMx models (AT-VM760x, AT-VM750x, AT-VM745x) feature a solid boron cantilever. Naturally lightweight and rigid, boron transmits signals from the record groove faster than an aluminum cantilever. The result is more accurate sound reproduction that’s particularly noticeable on dynamic musical passages. The die-cast aluminum body reduces vibrations and resonance.

Shibata Styli

The Shibata stylus was originally developed to play four-channel (quadrophonic) vinyl records. The Shibata stylus has two radii, similar to an elliptical stylus. However, the radii of a Shibata stylus allows for more surface contact and effective pickup of ultra-high frequencies with less groove stress and distortion.

Nude Shank

In a bonded (or jointed) stylus, a diamond tip is glued into the hole of the cantilever. While less expensive to manufacture, this construction may increase the mass of the overall tip and affect transient response compared with a nude stylus where the tip and shank are constructed from a single piece of diamond.
