AUDIO-TECHNICA VM760SLC CARTRIDGE

The VM760SLC special line contact stylus cartridge is the flagship model 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, while also incorporating today's advanced technology. Like all VM cartridges, the VM760SLC is equipped with dual magnets that are positioned to match the left and right channels in the stereo record groove for outstanding channel separation and extended frequency response. The cartridge's ultra-lightweight special line contact stylus allows it to trace the record groove with incredible accuracy and minimum abrasion, resulting in nuanced audio reproduction, low distortion and low record wear.

Original AT-440ML/OCC cartridge, sound quality, extended frequency and performance

Audio-Technica is the world leader in phonograph cartridges. Its cartridges are used by many renowned companies as original installed equipment and under private label. It is one of the last manufacturers to offer a full line of phono cartridge products that meet the needs of many budget segments, turntable/tonearm requirements and performance levels.

Audio-Technica's moving magnet cartridge design is patented and delivers "Practically Identical to the Cutter Head" performance. Instead of using a single, large magnet like other cartridge manufacturers, Audio-Technica's patented Vector-Aligned Dual Magnet design positions two tiny magnets 90 degrees apart. These magnets are positioned directly in line with the two groove walls and each magnet incorporates a separate, independent coil structure. This low magnet mass and geometry allows exact translation of record groove motion into matching electrical signals, ensuring excellent channel seperation, extended frequency response and superior tracking.

Each Audio-Technica cartridge is hand-assembled with tolerances held to mere thousandths of an inch. Stringent quality control assures that tolerances and performance criteria are maintained for each product. This attention to every micro detail in design, construction and final assembly results in superior phono cartridges that are delightfully musical and musically accurate.

With the AT-440ML phono cartridge, Audio-Technica delivers musical excellence in an affordable audiophile cartridge that rightfully should be compared with moving magnets costing many times its price. The Audio-Technica AT-440ML's excellence lies in its advanced technology, design and materials uniquely available to Audio-Technica because of its deep technical history and production capabilities.
