Audio-Technica AT-VM95EN phono cartridge Hi-Fi mm Nude Diamond ATVM95EN

At-VM95en

cartridge Elliptical stereo nude VM95 series

The AT-VM95en has an integral elliptical diamond (nude). The elliptical form needle being cut from an integral diamond of cylindrical section, itself inserted in the cantilever creates a lighter and more rigid transmission system than a diamond point stuck on a cylindrical support (Shank) in titanium as in the AT-VM95E. It follows from the implementation of a full diamond (nude) a higher cost, however the improvement in the quality of reproduction is undeniable, in particular the faithful restitution of high frequencies and transitional responses.

• Aluminum cantilever
• 3.5MV output voltage
• Body compatible with all the reading tips of the VM95 series
• Frequency response from 20 to 23,000Hz

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 VM95 series double moving magnet cartridges can be used for an almost infinite period by replacing the needle which is interchangeable. 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.

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 due to the VM DUAL Magnet architecture.
• The suspensions of the VM95 series and their compliance characteristics have been designed to provide optimal audiophile reproduction.

Full elliptical point (nude)

The integral diamond construction particularly improves the response in high frequencies, the quality of transitional responses and significantly reduces distortion.

Mounting 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 of 11mm as well as two plastic washers.
