Product Description
AT-VM750xSH/H
The AT-VM750xSH/H combo kit includes the AT-VM750xSH Shibata dual moving magnet cartridge premounted on the AT-LT10 universal 1/2"-mount headshell. The AT-VM750xSH is part of the updated AT-VMx series, which introduces material and design changes to further refine the VM sound, offering responsive playback that is especially sensitive to the dynamism of musical expression.
Highly Efficient Generator
The 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.
Solid Boron Cantilever and Metal Body
The 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.
Key Features
- AT-VM750xSH Dual Moving Magnet Cartridge
- AT-VMx dual moving magnet cartridge with Shibata stylus
- Shibata stylus provides long line of contact with the record groove, enabling the pickup of ultra-high frequencies with minimal abrasion and distortion
- Significantly lighter stylus tip (compared to previous model) allows for more precise tracing of the record groove
- Solid boron cantilever quickly transmits vibrations from the record groove, ensuring accurate reproduction of dynamic musical passages
- Die-cast aluminum housing reduces vibrations and resonance
- Paratoroidal coils improve generating efficiency for enhanced channel separation, channel balance, and transient response
- PCUHD (Pure Copper Ultra High Drawability) coils – and fewer coil turns – deliver highly responsive, three-dimensional sound reproduction with excellent transient response
- Center shield plate between the left and right channels reduces crosstalk for clear stereo sound
- Threaded inserts make cartridge easier to mount, especially to integrated tonearms
- V-cut in the flip-up stylus protector shows stylus position, serving as a guide for lowering the stylus onto a record
- Compatible with any turntable headshell that accepts 1/2" cartridges
- Compatible with most AT-VMx series replacement styli,* offering a wide choice of options for every budget and application
*Excludes mono models
- AT-LT10 Universal Headshell
- Universal ½"-mount headshell for 4-pin turntable cartridges with or without threaded inserts
- Ultra-lightweight aluminum die-cast body keeps vibration to the bare minimum
- Elongated through holes enable precise cartridge positioning and overhang adjustment
- OFC (oxygen-free copper) lead wires for exceptional sound quality
- Slip-resistant finger lift allows stylus to be placed precisely on the record
- Includes mounting screws
