Audio-Technica AT-VM95EN Hi-Fi MM Nude Diamond Cartridge

AT-VM95EN

VM95 Series Nude Elliptical Stereo Cartridge

The AT-VM95EN features a Nude Elliptical diamond stylus. The elliptical diamond stylus grain is cut from a solid nude diamond inserted into the cantilever, creating a lighter and more rigid transmission system than a bonded diamond shank (as used on the AT-VM95E). Although nude diamonds carry a higher manufacturing cost, the improvement in reproduction quality is undeniable, especially in transient response and high-frequency accuracy.

• Aluminum Cantilever
• Output Voltage: 3.5 mV
• Body compatible with all VM95 Series replacement styli
• Frequency Response: 20 to 23,000 Hz

VM95 Series Stylus Compatibility

Every cartridge diamond stylus experiences wear after a period of play: approximately 500 hours for a Conical stylus, 300 hours for an Elliptical stylus, 1,000 hours for a Microlinear stylus, and 800 hours for a Shibata stylus.

Our VM95 Series Dual Moving Magnet cartridges can be used almost indefinitely by replacing the interchangeable stylus. All six VM95 Series cartridge models share the same body engine, making all six styli fully cross-compatible:

• AT-VMN95C
• AT-VMN95E
• AT-VMN95EN
• AT-VMN95ML
• AT-VMN95SH
• AT-VMN95SP
