Головка звукоснимателя Audio-Technica cartridge VM530EN Moving Magnet

The Audio-Technica VM530EN pickup is the top model in the company's catalog, equipped with an elliptical stylus in the VM series. The pickup is made in a polymer case, the lower part of which has a bright orange color. Like all models of the VM series, the VM530EN cartridge is equipped with two separate magnets and coils with a patented winding, which allowed to improve its technical parameters, as well as improve the sound quality.

The elliptical stylus, with a very small physical footprint, follows the groove of a vinyl record precisely, delivering precise and detailed music. The needle holder is made of aluminum with high precision and, with a low mass, has high rigidity and resistance to resonances. The dual magnet design, combined with a special internal baffle, resulted in good stereo separation and a natural looking scene. In addition, the VM530EN pickup delivers 4.5mV output with extended frequency and dynamic range for rich sound and minimal noise. To increase recoil without significantly increasing the mass of the head, its coils are paratoroidal wound. All necessary mounting hardware is supplied with the head.

The precision assembly and tuning of the VM530EN cartridge makes it compatible with a wide range of turntables and tonearms, and this cartridge can be used even on high-end models. Audio Technica's extensive experience in creating cartridges in both the affordable and high price ranges guarantees its models an attractive combination of quality and value, and the VM530EN is a good example of this. This pickup is highly reliable and, with proper installation and setup, which is not at all difficult to perform, is capable of providing excellent reproduction of music of various genres.
