Audio-Technica VM610MONO MM pickup

Audio Technica VM610MONO features:
• Conical Bonded stylus for less critical tilt angle adjustment allowing more flexible use on various tonearms
• VM type dual magnet design ensures outstanding channel separation, extended frequency response and superb tracking
• Lightweight aluminium cantilever allows for faithful reading of the record groove
• Mono body terminating left and right channels reduces surface noise
• Durable low resonance polymer housing

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.

Mono body
For monaural operation, left and right channels should be connected. A mono body on which left and right terminals are connected internally reduces record noise which is primarily in the vertical direction and obtains a highly focused ‘centre’ sound image compared with stereo bodies.
