Audio-Technica AT-VM95EN VM95 Elliptical Nude Stereo Cartridge

The Audio-Technica AT-VM95EN VM95 Elliptical Nude Stereo Cartridge fits half-inch mount turntables and uses a 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical nude stylus for detailed groove contact. Its VM stereo dual magnet design, aluminum pipe cantilever, and low-resonance polymer housing deliver excellent channel separation and low distortion.

This cartridge is ideal for vinyl listeners upgrading a turntable cartridge, replacing a worn phono cartridge, or shopping for an elliptical nude stylus cartridge with refined playback. Threaded inserts let users mount the cartridge to a headshell with two screws, removing the need for nuts during installation.

Part of Audio-Technica’s VM95 Series, the AT-VM95EN shares the same cartridge body as other VM95 models and accepts any AT-VMN95 replacement stylus. Its 20 Hz to 23,000 Hz frequency response, 3.5 mV output voltage, and 47,000-ohm recommended load impedance support reliable hi-fi playback in compatible turntable systems.
