Audio-Technica AT-VM670xSP

Audio-Technica AT-VM670xSP - Cartridge for pickup, specially designed for playing 78 RPM mono records. Ideal for collectors and audiophiles who wish to reproduce historical recordings with authentic fidelity and reduced noise. Part of the VMx series from Audio-Technica, this cartridge offers a combination of tradition and modern technology.

The design with internally connected dual magnets provides a centralised mono signal, significantly reducing crosstalk and surface noise. The 3.0 mil conical stylus is optimised for tracking the wide grooves of 78 RPM shellac records, delivering precise and stable reproduction of sound recorded in different eras.

The threaded inserts ensure easy installation, while the V-shaped stylus protector allows for correct positioning of the needle on the record.
