Dual magnet cartridge design
The Audio-Technica VM510CB is a dual moving magnet cartridge built for stereo turntables. Its V-shaped magnet arrangement matches the left and right groove walls for accurate channel separation. A 0.6 mil conical bonded stylus tracks the centre of the record groove. Mounting hardware is included for straightforward installation.
Buyers needing elliptical or finer styli
This model suits listeners who want an affordable moving magnet cartridge with a conical tip for reliable tracking on well-maintained records. It is not for buyers who need an elliptical, Shibata or line-contact stylus for reduced groove wear and higher-frequency retrieval. DJs requiring high output for scratching or back-cueing should also look elsewhere.
5.0 mV output at 1 kHz
The cartridge delivers 5.0 mV at 1 kHz and 5 cm per second, a level compatible with standard moving magnet phono stages. Coil impedance is 2,700 ohms and DC resistance is 800 ohms, with a recommended load capacitance of 100-200 pF. Vertical tracking angle is set at 23 degrees.
