Purpose and audience

The Audio-Technica AT-VM670XSP is a dual moving magnet cartridge built specifically for 78 RPM mono records. Its 3.0 mil conical bonded stylus matches the wide groove geometry of shellac discs. Collectors and archives transferring historical recordings will find it a direct fit.

Who it suits and who it does not

The cartridge serves owners of mono 78 RPM collections who need accurate tracking at 4.5 to 5.5 grams. It is not suited for stereo microgroove LPs where a narrower stylus profile is required. Buyers needing standard LP playback should consider a different model.

Deciding specification

The 3.0 mil conical bonded stylus dimension determines whether this cartridge matches your records. A wider tip rides the coarse grooves of 78 RPM pressings without bottoming out, while a finer tip would damage them and mistrack. Confirm your media type before purchasing.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the AT-VM670XSP and what must I buy separately?

The cartridge includes a bonded 3.0 mil conical stylus, threaded mounting inserts and a flip-up stylus guard; a headshell, mounting screws and a tonearm with 4.5–5.5 g tracking-force range are not included.

How do I choose between the available versions of this cartridge?

This model is a single 78 RPM mono variant with a 3.0 mil conical bonded stylus; no other stylus profiles or channel configurations are offered for the AT-VM670XSP.

What does the 4.7 mV output voltage mean when the cartridge is installed on my turntable?

At 5 cm/s lateral velocity the cartridge delivers 4.7 mV, so a phono stage with a 47 k ohm load and 375 ohm DC resistance will provide a standard line-level signal without extra gain.
