Description AUDIO TECHNICA VM510CB Cartridge & CONICAL Stylus Audio-Technica Hi-Fi VM510CB – Dual Moving Magnet Stereo Cartridge with CONICAL stylus. Entry-level Audio-Technica VM510CB Dual Moving Magnet Cartridge equipped with a conical bonded stylus less likely to be affected by placement and boasts stable tracing performance Aluminium cantilever Para-toroidal coils improve generating efficiency Centre shield plate between the left and right channels reduces cross-talk Durable low resonance polymer housing Audio-Technica’s internationally-patented Dual Magnet design replicates the structure of the cutter head. Instead of using a single, large magnet, the two magnets are arranged in the shape of a “V”. The two magnets are positioned precisely to match the positions of the left and right channels in the stereo groove walls. Consequently, the VM design ensures outstanding channel separation, extended frequency response and superb tracking. Para-toroidal generating system – Para-toroidal coils improve generating efficiency and offers superb linearity, since leakage of magnetic flux in this continuous and unitised magnetic circuit is low. Permeability of the cores is also optimised through the use of laminated cores. Centre shield plate reduces cross-talk – A permalloy centre shield plate enables the effective separation of left and right channels, suppressing electrical cross-talk to below 40dB. This is similar to the actual cross-talk value found in the grooves of the record itself. 500 Series – Standard cartridge body fitted with the para-toroidal coils, centre shield plate, and 6N-OFC coil wire which is the same as 700 series. Conical Bonded Stylus – The benefit of conical styli, even if the cartridge is “lean”, is the ball surface of the stylus touches the groove of vinyl records precisely. Due to its stability, it has been used widely at radio stations. Frequency Response: 20 to 20,000Hz Channel Separation: 25dB (1kHz) Vertical Tracking Angle: 23? Vertical Tracking Force: 1.8 to 2.2g (2.0g standard)
