Description

The VM540ML MicroLine stylus cartridge is the premier 500 Series model in Audio-Technicas new VM cartridge line a line that harks back to A-Ts early days as a manufacturer primarily of high-end phono cartridges while also incorporating todays advanced technology. Like all VM cartridges the VM540ML is equipped with dual magnets that are positioned to match the left and right channels in the stereo record groove for outstanding channel separation and extended frequency response. The cartridges MicroLine stylus allows it to trace the record groove with incredible accuracy resulting in nuanced audio reproduction that elliptical and conical styli simply cant match. The styluss multilevel shape also wears better than other styli while reducing the wear on your records.FeaturesVM dual magnet cartridge with MicroLine stylusAluminum cantilever Paratoroidal coils improve generating efficiencyCenter shield plate between the left and right channels reduces crosstalk Durable low-resonance polymer cartridge housingWhat’s in the BoxVM540ML Dual Moving Magnet CartridgeFour cartridge installation screwsTwo washersTwo hex nutsNon-magnetic screwdriverBrushLead wire setSpecificationsFrequency response: 20 – 27000HzChannel separation: 28dB (1kHz)Vertical tracking force: 1.8 – 2.2gStylus construction: Nude square shankRecommended load impedance: 47000 ohmsOutput: 4.0mVChannel balance: 1.0dBStylus shape: 2.2 x 0.12 mil MicroLineMount: 1/2″Coil impedance: 2700 ohms (1kHz)DC resistance: 800 ohmsLoad capacitance: 100 – 200pFCoil inductance: 460mH (1kHz)Static compliance: 40 x 10-6cm/dyneDynamic compliance: 10 x 10 – 6cm/dyne (100Hz)Vertical tracking angle: 23Dimensions (H x W x D): 0.7″ x 0.7″ x 1.1″Weight: 0.2 ounces
