Audio-Technica - Audio Technica VM520EB Elliptical Bonded Cartridge - Navy

<p>For over 50 years Audio-Technica has worked alongside leading figures in broadcasting and music to develop and hone a wide range of products with the highest level of audio. The Audio-Technica VM520EB Elliptical Phonograph Cartridge is a 0.3 x .07 mil elliptical stylus phonograph cartridge designed for compatibility with 1/2" mount that will have you loving the true sound quality that only vinyl records can supply. It features a dual-magnet design to give you excellent channel separation and extremely low distortion for outstanding tonal and audio quality.</p><p><strong>Elliptical Stylus</strong></p><p>The Audio-Technica Cartridge features an elliptically shaped tip of the stylus cone with an aluminum pipe cantilever. This intuitive design allows for more precision than a conical tip, improving frequency response, phase response, and lowering distortion. The bonded diamond shank construction increases the mass of the overall tip and is classically compatible with entry level systems and older record players.</p><p><strong>Dual Magnet Design</strong></p><p>The Vertical Dual Magnet on the VM520EB Phonograph Cartridge uses the 90° V-Shape of the cutter head. Two transducer coils are mounted in each wall of the 90° record groove. The dual V Mount magnet configuration delivers outstanding channel separation, extended frequency response as well as superb tracking and low distortion, giving you outstanding tonal and sound quality. This style achieves more accurate tracking, excellent channel separation, high definition stereo image and extreme clarity across the audio spectrum. Paratoroidal coils improve generating efficiency in the durable low-resonance polymer housing.</p><p><strong>Superior Sound</strong></p><p>The VM520EB Cartridge has 2g of tracking force for just the right amount of pressure on the vinyl. With 27 dB of channel separation and a frequency response of 20 Hz to 23 kHz, you can be sure of accurate and detailed audio reproduction. A center shield plate located between the left and right channels reduces crosstalk for minimum noise.</p>

General Information Standard elliptical stylus model equipped with an elliptical bonded stylus. This reduces tracing distortion and allows for more accurate sound reproduction. Aluminium cantilever Para-toroidal coils improve generating efficiency Centre shield plate between the left and right channels reduces crosstalk Durable low resonance polymer housing AUDIO-TECHNICA'S INTERNATIONALLY-PATENTED DUAL MAGNET DESIGN REPLICATES THE STRUCTURE OF THE CUTTER HEAD. Instead of using a single, large magnet, the two magnets are arranged in the shape of a "V". The two magnets are positioned precisely to match the positions of the left and right channels in the stereo groove walls. Consequently, the VM design ensures outstanding channel separation, extended frequency response and superb tracking. PARA-TOROIDAL GENERATING SYSTEM Para-toroidal coils improve generating efficiency and offers superb linearity, since leakage of magnetic flux in this continuous and unitised magnetic circuit is low. Permeability of the cores is also optimised through the use of laminated cores. CENTRE SHIELD PLATE REDUCES CROSSTALK A permalloy centre shield plate enables the effective separation of left and right channels, suppressing electrical crosstalk to below 40dB. This is similar to the actual crosstalk value found in the grooves of the record itself. 500 SERIES Standard cartridge body fitted with the para-toroidal coils, centre shield plate, and 6N-OFC coil wire which is the same as 700 series. ELLIPTICAL BONDED STYLUS Elliptical diamond stylus follows the groove modulation with greater precision compared to a conical stylus, offering improved frequency and phase responses whilst reducing distortion.
