Part of the acclaimed AT-VMx series, this cartridge is engineered to bring new warmth and realism to your vinyl collection, delivering an expansive soundstage rich with musical detail. The innovative microlinear stylus tracks grooves with exceptional accuracy, revealing nuances often lost with traditional elliptical or conical options. Enhanced by a solid boron cantilever, every vibration is transmitted swiftly, ensuring that even the most dynamic passages are reproduced with lifelike clarity.\u003cbr\u003e\nDesigned for Audiophiles\u003cbr\u003e\nExperience stunning channel separation and extended frequency response thanks to Audio-Technica’s precise dual-magnet design, which closely mimics the cutter head used during master record production. The die-cast aluminum housing effectively dampens unwanted vibrations and resonance, while paratoroidal coils and PCUHD (Pure Copper Ultra High Drawability) wiring contribute to improved generating efficiency, clear channel balance, and vivid transient response. Enjoy three-dimensional sound and reduced crosstalk while you immerse yourself in your favorite albums.\u003cbr\u003e\nEffortless Installation and Compatibility\u003cbr\u003e\nInstallation is a breeze with threaded inserts that simplify mounting on any headshell accepting 1\/2\" cartridges—no nuts required. The V-cut stylus protector takes the guesswork out of lowering the stylus onto a record, offering both safety and convenience. Compatible with most AT-VMx replacement styli*, this versatile cartridge gives you a range of upgrade paths for different listening needs. Bring out the best in your records with technology crafted for today’s discerning vinyl enthusiasts.\u003cbr\u003e\nKey Features\u003cbr\u003e\nAT-VMx dual moving magnet cartridge with microlinear stylus\u003cbr\u003e\nMicrolinear stylus tracks the record groove with incredible accuracy, providing more nuanced sound reproduction than elliptical and conical styli\u003cbr\u003e\nSignificantly lighter stylus tip (compared to previous model) allows for more precise tracing of the record groove\u003cbr\u003e\nSolid boron cantilever quickly transmits vibrations from the record groove, ensuring accurate reproduction of dynamic musical passages\u003cbr\u003e\nDie-cast aluminum housing reduces vibrations and resonance\u003cbr\u003e\nParatoroidal coils improve generating efficiency for enhanced channel separation, channel balance, and transient response\u003cbr\u003e\nPCUHD (Pure Copper Ultra High Drawability) coils – and fewer coil turns – deliver highly responsive, three-dimensional sound reproduction with excellent transient response\u003cbr\u003e\nCenter shield plate between the left and right channels reduces crosstalk for clear stereo sound\u003cbr\u003e\nThreaded inserts make cartridge easier to mount, especially to integrated tonearms\u003cbr\u003e\nV-cut in the flip-up stylus protector shows stylus position, serving as a guide for lowering the stylus onto a record\u003cbr\u003e\nCompatible with any turntable headshell that accepts 1\/2\" cartridges\u003cbr\u003e\nCompatible with most AT-VMx series replacement styli,* offering a wide choice of options for every budget and application\u003cbr\u003e\n*Excludes mono models\u003cbr\u003e\nFeatures\u003cbr\u003e\nEasy to Install \u0026amp; Use\u003cbr\u003e\nEach AT-VMx cartridge body has threaded inserts, enabling it to be mounted to a headshell with just two screws – no nuts required. And the redesigned stylus protector now includes a V-cut for easy reference of the stylus’s position when lowering it onto a record.\u003cbr\u003e\nHighly Efficient Generator\u003cbr\u003e\nThe paratoroidal coil construction of the cartridge's generator - two PCUHD coils per channel, one stacked behind the other - greatly improves electromagnetic performance, while a slight reduction in coil turns* enhances transient response for clean, lifelike sound.\u003cbr\u003e\n*Compared to VM series cartridges.\u003cbr\u003e\nSolid Boron Cantilever and Metal Body\u003cbr\u003e\nThe three premium VMx models (AT-VM760x, AT-VM750x, AT- VM745x) feature a solid boron cantilever. Naturally lightweight and rigid, boron transmits signals from the record groove faster than an aluminum cantilever. The result is more accurate sound reproduction that's particularly noticeable on dynamic musical passages. The die cast aluminum body reduces vibrations and resonance.\u003cbr\u003e\nInterchangeable Styli\u003cbr\u003e\nSince all AT-VMx and VM Series cartridges share the same body design and have a removable stylus, you can use almost any AT- VMNx or VMN replacement stylus* with any VMx or VM cartridge for easy experimentation with sound characteristics.\u003cbr\u003e\nAT-VMN10xCB (conical\/bonded\/aluminum cantilever)\u003cbr\u003e\nAT-VMN20xEB (elliptical\/bonded\/aluminum cantilever)\u003cbr\u003e\nAT-VMN30xEN (elliptical\/nude\/aluminum cantilever)\u003cbr\u003e\nAT-VMN40xML (microlinear\/nude\/aluminum cantilever)\u003cbr\u003e\nAT-VMN45xML (microlinear\/nude\/boron cantilever)\u003cbr\u003e\nAT-VMN50xSH (Shibata\/nude\/boron cantilever)\u003cbr\u003e\nAT-VMN60xSL (special line contact\/nude\/boron cantilever)\u003cbr\u003e\n* Excludes mono models\u003cbr\u003e\nAll in the Design\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Vertical Dual Magnet (VM) design closely mirrors the cutter head used to make the vinyl master.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe standard cutter head (used to record the vinyl master) uses two transducer coils, mounted perpendicular to each other at 45° from horizontal, to cut the channel: one in each wall of the 90° record groove.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe AT-VMx cartridges use the same 90° V-Shape configuration as the cutter head. This way, the cartridge achieves accurate tracking, excellent channel separation, high definition of the stereo image and extreme clarity over the entire audio spectrum.\u003cbr\u003e\nRound or Square Shank?\u003cbr\u003e\nThe stylus shank is the piece that connects the tip to the cantilever. A round shank can be more difficult to align when it is affixed to the cantilever. Proper alignment is needed in order to position the stylus tip precisely in the record groove. Square shank styli cost more to make than round shank styli, but mounting them in laser-cut square holes in the cantilever locks them in precise alignment with the record groove.\u003cbr\u003e\nBonded or Nude?\u003cbr\u003e\nIn a bonded (or jointed) stylus, a diamond tip is glued on a metal shank that is itself glued into the hole of the cantilever. While less expensive to manufacture, this construction may increase the mass of the overall tip and affect transient response compared with a nude stylus where the tip and shank are constructed from a single piece of diamond.\u003cbr\u003e\nRead More\u003cbr\u003e\nCalifornia customers\u003cbr\u003e\nProposition 65 WARNING\u003cbr\u003e\nWARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpecifications\u003cbr\u003e\nGeneral\u003cbr\u003e\nColor\u003cbr\u003e\nGold | Red\u003cbr\u003e\nType\u003cbr\u003e\nCartridge\u003cbr\u003e\nBrand Compatibility\u003cbr\u003e\nAudio-Technica\u003cbr\u003e\nQuantity\u003cbr\u003e\n1\u003cbr\u003e\nFrequency Response\u003cbr\u003e\n20 to 27,000 Hz\u003cbr\u003e\nChannel Separation\u003cbr\u003e\n26 dB (1 kHz)\u003cbr\u003e\nVertical Tracking Force\u003cbr\u003e\n20°\u003cbr\u003e\nTracking Force\u003cbr\u003e\n1.8 to 2.2 g (2.0 g standard)\u003cbr\u003e\nIn the Box\u003cbr\u003e\n2 x Cartridge Installation Screws (M2.6) (10.0 mm (0.39\")\/ 8.0 mm (0.31\")\/ 5.0 mm (0.20\")), 2 x Washer, Non-Magnetic Screwdriver, Brus\u003cbr\u003e\nRecommended Load\u003cbr\u003e\n47 k ohms\u003cbr\u003e\nImpedance\u003cbr\u003e\n3.2 k ohms (1 kHz)\u003cbr\u003e\nApproximate Weight\u003cbr\u003e\nUnit Weight (lbs.)\u003cbr\u003e\n0.02\u003cbr\u003e\nApproximate Dimensions\u003cbr\u003e\nHeight (in)\u003cbr\u003e\n1.1\u003cbr\u003e\nWidth (in)\u003cbr\u003e\n0.72\u003cbr\u003e\nDepth (in)\u003cbr\u003e\n0.69\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Audio-Technica","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68010215637141,"sku":"VM745XML","price":164.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/3808\/9877\/files\/audio-technica-cartridge-AT-VM745xML-front-angled.jpg?v=1792512352","url":"https:\/\/noosclub.shop\/products\/audio-technica-dual-moving-magnet-cartridge-vm745xml-235721","provider":"ThursdayShoes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
