Audio-Technica AT-VM95E phono cartridge Hi-Fi mm turntable Vinyl ATVM95E

At-VM95E

cartridge Elliptical stereo VM95 series

The AT-VM95E, new entry-level Elliptical Audio-Technica elliptical cartridge , replaces the legendary AT95E cartridge and benefits from improvements following the development of the AT95EX introduced in 2015. The AT-VM95E presents an improved and distinctive design which results in a rigid body for low resonances, as well as two integrated threaded inserts allowing direct assembly on the headshell or on a full reading arm with only two screws, without nut.

• Aluminum cantilever
• 4MV output voltage
• Body compatible with all the reading tips of the VM95 series
• Replaces the AT95E and AT95EX
• Frequency response from 20 to 22,000Hz

VM95 series - Compatibility of reading tips

The diamond of a needle is wearing after a certain period of use.

About 500 hours for a conical tip, 300 hours for an elliptical point, 1000 hours for a microlinear point and 800 hours for a Shibata point.

Our Mobile Double Endimant cartridges in the VM95 series can be used over an almost infinite period by replacing the interchangeable needle . It is no longer necessary to buy a complete cartridge when the diamond is worn, it is possible to simply buy the corresponding replacement needle , but also to enrich your listening experience by opting for higher ranges reading tips.

The six cartridges models in the VM95 series all use the same cartridge body (electromagnetic generator). Therefore, the six reading tips are perfectly compatible with the cartridge body in the VM95 series.

AT -VMN95C - Standard Conical Diamond Pointe with Spherical tip

AT -VMN95E - Hollen diamond point (Bonded) with an elliptical tip

AT -VMN95En - Elliptical point nude diamond (Nude Diamond)

AT -VMN95ML - Special diamond point Microlinear

AT -VMN95SH - Hyperelliptical size diamond point

AT -VMN95SP - Special point for reading discs 78 rpm & Lacquer gum (Shellack Records, 78 RPM)

Compatibility of the VM95 series with the DJ cartridges of the AT-XP series

• The electromagnetic generator of the XP series is entirely compatible with all the replacement reading points of the VM95 series, on the other hand it will provide an output voltage greater than that of the cartridges of the VM95 series. Thus, the adaptation is optimized for the phono inputs of professional DJ consoles with less gain than Hi-Fi materials.
• The electromagnetic generator of the VM95 series is also compatible with the three replacement reading points of the DJ cartridges of the XP series, however, the electromagnetic generator of the VM95 series will provide a lower output tension than the cartridge of the XP series in order to ensure better compatibility with the phono inputs of Hi-Fi equipment.
• Note that the recommended support force when using the XP series reading is 3G, against 2G for those in the VM95 series.
• The design of suspensions and compliance of the XP series reading tips have been adapted to DJ use, with the possibility of front and rear manual location. Note: its use is not suitable for intensive scratch by VM DUAL Magnet architecture.
• The suspensions of the VM95 series and their compliance characteristics have been designed to provide optimal audiophile reproduction.

Glued elliptical point

The elliptical diamond follows the modulation of the furrow (especially stereophonic) with greater precision compared to a conical diamond (reduction of the pinch effect of the conical tip), offering an improved frequency response while reducing distortion.

Slunning without nut

The cartridges of the VM95 series have two M2.6 threaded inserts allowing the installation without nuts of the cartridge on the full reading armor on oneheadshell removable. Each cartridge is delivered with two pairs of M2.6 screws, one of 8 and one 11 mm , as well as two plastic washers.
