Audio-Technica AT-VM95SH Dual Moving Magnet Cartridge with Shibata Nude Stylus

VM95C – Conical stereo cartridge

The AT-VM95C, the new Audio-Technica entry model Conical cartridge will replace the legendary AT90 Series models such as AT91, AT91R and CN5625AL

Also the AT-VM95C is a “budget” cartridge featuring a conical stylus, the compatibility in the range will allow to upgrade with any of the 4 other LP styli of the Series such as Elliptical, Elliptical Nude, Microlinear and Shibata.

• Aluminium cantilever
• 4.0mV output voltage
• Compatible body with all VM95 Series stylus assemblies
• Replacement for AT91, AT91R and CN5625AL

VM95E – Elliptical stereo cartridge

The AT-VM95E, the new Audio-Technica entry model Elliptical cartridge will replace the legendary AT95E and take advantage of the developments of the AT95EX introduced in 2015.

The AT-VM95E features an improved and distinctive design resulting in a more rigid low resonance housing, and two threaded inserts in the cartridge body enabling it to be mounted to the headshell or on an integral tonearm with just two screws, no nuts.

• Aluminium cantilever
• 4.0mV output voltage
• Compatible body with all VM95 Series stylus assemblies
• Replacement for AT95E and AT95EX
• 20 to 22,000Hz frequency response

VM95EN – Elliptical Nude stereo cartridge

The AT-VM95EN, features a Nude Elliptical Diamond. The construction of the stylus being a one piece diamond with a round shank inserted in the cantilever creates a lighter and more rigid transmission system than a diamond tip bonded on a round titanium shank such as in the AT-VM95E.

Also the use of nude diamond implies a substantial difference in cost, yet the quality of the reproduction will be immediately noticed, specifically in the fidelity of high frequencies and in the quality of the transient responses.

• Aluminium cantilever
• 3.5mV output voltage
• Compatible body with all VM95 Series stylus assemblies
• 20 to 23,000Hz frequency response

VM95ML – Microlinear stereo cartridge

The AT-VM95ML, features a Nude Microlinear diamond, not only the Microlinear stylus will permit to double the duration of your stylus. The performance of a line contact stylus, will minimize the “inner groove distortion” as well as providing extended frequency response and maximize resolution in the medium and high frequencies of the audio program material.

• material. Aluminium cantilever
• 3.5mV output voltage
• Compatible body with all VM95 Series stylus assemblies
• 20 to 25,000Hz frequency response

VM95SH – Shibata stereo cartridge

The AT-VM95SH, features a Nude Shibata stylus, one of the most acclaimed stylus format by high end audiophiles. The Shibata stylus produces mid and bass sounds strong and rich in addition to offer a frequency response up to 25,000 Hz.

• Aluminium cantilever
• 3.5mV output voltage
• Compatible body with all VM95 Series stylus assemblies
• 20 to 25,000Hz frequency response

VM95SP – 78rpm SP cartridge

Since SP records have monaural modulation, when combining an SP stylus with a stereo body, such as the AT-VM95SP, it is recommended to use the “MONO ON” function “ of your standard Stereo Phono Preamplifier to minimize record surface noise.

AT-VM95SP, as stereo cartridge for SP mono records, when used with a dedicated archiving phono preamplifierequalizer incorporating various functions to generate a mono signal from Stereo inputs (Mono L+R, Mono L, Mono R, LR Variable Mix) allows professional archivers to minimize noise and distortion by sampling the least damage side of the grooves from an old record.

• 3mil SP stylus for reduced record surface noise
• Aluminium cantilever
• 2.7mV output voltage
• Compatible body with all VM95 Series stylus assemblies
