The Audio-Technica AT-VM520xEB VMx elliptical bonded phono cartridge gives your records a new voice—warm, wide and wonderfully clear. Built with Audio-Technica's dual moving magnet design, it mirrors the geometry of the cutter head for precise tracking and lifelike stereo separation. The 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical bonded stylus captures rich detail across the spectrum, revealing the subtle nuances and expressive character pressed into every groove.
AT-VM520xEB Cartridge With PCUHD Coils for Low Crosstalk
Designed for deep, dimensional playback, the AT-VM520xEB features Pure Copper Ultra High Drawability (PCUHD) coils in a paratoroidal configuration to optimize signal efficiency.

The result is clean, responsive sound with striking stereo accuracy—ideal for music lovers who want to hear every movement and moment with clarity.

This cartridge makes installation refreshingly simple. Threaded inserts let you secure the body to your headshell with just two screws—no nuts needed. A redesigned stylus guard with a V-cut helps you align the stylus with precision, and the low-resonance polymer housing ensures clean, stable playback every time. With its elliptical stylus and thoughtful design, the AT-VM520xEB gives you both high-fidelity sound and everyday ease of use.
