Description
The VM540ML/H Headshell and Cartridge Combo Kit from Audio-Technica includes the VM540ML MicroLine dual moving magnet cartridge pre-mounted on the AT-HS10BK universal 1/2"-mount headshell. The VM540ML features dual magnets that are positioned to match left and right channels in the stereo record groove and improve channel separation, as well as extending the frequency response. Additionally, the cartridge employs a MicroLine stylus, which allows it to trace the record groove with superb accuracy, resulting in nuanced audio reproduction that elliptical and conical style simply can't match. The stylus' multilevel shape also wears better than other styli, while reducing the wear on your records.
The lightweight AT-HS10BK is a universal 1/2"-mount headshell designed for 4-pin turntable cartridges. The die-cast aluminium body is designed to minimise vibration and provides a finger-lift at the front position to enable precise placement of the stylus onto the record. The gold-plated lead wires offer lossless signal transmission. The headshell ships with mounting hardware.

- Aluminium cantilever.
- Paratoroidal coils improve generating efficiency.
- Centre shield plate between the left and right channels reduces crosstalk.
