Overview

A headshell and cartridge combo for precise, dynamic playback.

The Audio-Technica AT-VM520xEB/H VMx headshell/elliptical bonded cartridge combo kit is made for vinyl lovers who want precise playback and reliable performance in one easy-to-mount package. With the AT-VM520xEB cartridge pre-installed on the ultra-lightweight AT-LT10 headshell, this combo delivers responsive sound with excellent channel separation and a detailed stereo image. The dual moving magnet design and elliptical bonded stylus ensure accurate tracking, while the paratoroidal coils and center shield plate help reduce crosstalk for cleaner sound across your collection.

Audio-Technica Cartridge With Elliptical Bonded Stylus

This 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical bonded stylus is built to follow every groove with clarity and precision. The vertical dual magnet design mirrors the original cutting head used on records, improving stereo accuracy and tonal balance. With PCUHD pure copper coils and reduced coil turns, this cartridge offers enhanced transient response, improved channel separation and lifelike playback—whether you're spinning new pressings or old favorites.

AT-LT10 Headshell With Low-Resonance Aluminum Design

The included AT-LT10 headshell keeps your setup light and stable with a die-cast aluminum body that minimizes vibration. Elongated slots make cartridge alignment easier, while oxygen-free copper lead wires support strong signal transfer. The V-cut stylus protector and threaded inserts add convenience and confidence for users looking for smooth setup and secure playback. This combo kit is also compatible with most AT-VMx replacement styli (excluding mono), giving you flexible upgrade options down the road.
