Audio Technica AT-VM530xEN Dual Moving Magnet Stereo Cartridge

The Audio Technica AT-VM530xEN is built for listeners who want to take a step closer to the fine detail in their vinyl. It features a nude elliptical stylus, which sits more precisely in the groove than the bonded stylus used in the AT-VM520xEB. This added precision helps reveal extra clarity in vocals, texture in acoustic instruments and subtle dynamics in complex recordings.

As with other models in the VMx range, it uses a dual magnet system designed to mirror the original record-cutting head, ensuring accurate stereo imaging and wide frequency response. The paratoroidal coil design, combined with high-purity copper wire, improves transient response and helps deliver a natural, lifelike sound. Installation is easy with threaded inserts for a secure two-screw fit, and the interchangeable stylus system opens up plenty of upgrade paths across the VM and VMx series as your system develops.
