The VM520EB is part of Audio-new Technica’s VM cartridge line, which pays homage to the company’s early days as a high-end phono cartridge producer while still combining cutting-edge technology. The VM520EB, like all VM cartridges, has dual magnets positioned to match the left and right channels in the stereo record groove for excellent channel separation and extended frequency response. The 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical bonded stylus on the cartridge tracks the record groove with exceptional precision for excellent audio reproduction. Mounting hardware is included.
