AT VM540ML Moving Magnet Cartridge
This is the AT540ML: Low Resonance Polymer Body, Microline Stylus. An exceptionally fine MM cartridge with its Microline stylus closely
replicating the original master cutter to resolve detail unheard with lower
cost styli.

MicroLine® profile diamond stylus
VM type dual magnet system
Para-toroidal coils improve generating efficiency
Aluminium tapered cantilever
Centre shield plate between stereo channels
Durable low resonance polymer housing
MicroLine® profile diamond stylus offers high frequency response with
less wear and distortion than elliptical or conventional linear contact styli
VM type dual magnet design ensures outstanding channel separation,
extended frequency response and superb tracking
Lightweight tapered aluminium cantilever allows for faithful reading of
the record groove
Centre shield plate enables the effective separation of left and right
channels, suppressing electrical crosstalk to below 40dB
Durable low resonance polymer housing
From the new 'VM range' of Moving Magnet Cartridges from Audio Technica:
Two body types:
Six Stylus Types
(plus stylus and body types for mono and 78 replay)
Full interchangeability between stylus assemblies (every stylus assembly
fits both body types)
We were pleased to be at the Stylus 2017 Vinyl show in March demonstrating
the full range of VM cartridges and showing the benefits of each stylus type.
