AT-VM750xSH – Shibata MM Phono Cartridge

Audio-Technica AT-VM750xSH – Premium Shibata Stylus Cartridge with Solid Boron Cantilever

The AT-VM750xSH is one of Audio-Technica’s most advanced dual moving magnet cartridges, combining a high-performance generator, premium materials, and a nude Shibata stylus to produce exceptional sound detail, channel separation, and lifelike dynamics. Designed for analog lovers who demand depth, texture, and resolution, this cartridge brings out the best in your vinyl collection with refined engineering and installation convenience.

🔹 Extended Groove Contact & Sonic Precision

• Nude Shibata Stylus (2.7 x 0.26 mil) – Delivers greater surface contact with the groove than elliptical styli, capturing ultra-high frequencies with reduced abrasion and distortion.

• Solid Boron Cantilever (0.28 mm) – Rigid and lightweight, boron transmits signal vibrations with faster response and higher fidelity, ideal for dynamic musical passages.

• Tracking Force Range: 1.8 – 2.2 g (2.0 g recommended)

🔹 Dual Moving Magnet with Upgraded Coil Design

• Vertical Dual Magnet Structure – Precisely mirrors the geometry of the vinyl cutting head for outstanding channel separation and stereo accuracy.

• Paratoroidal PCUHD Coils – Features two high-efficiency Pure Copper Ultra High Drawability coils per channel, arranged for optimal magnetic flux and clear, natural sound.

• Center Shield Plate – Minimizes channel crosstalk, delivering pinpoint stereo imaging and clarity.

🔹 Engineered for Resonance Control & Ease of Use

• Die-Cast Aluminum Body – Offers superior mechanical damping and stability for clean, low-noise performance.

• Threaded Mounting Holes – Mounts directly to any 1/2″ headshell or tonearm with just two screws—no nuts required, ideal for modern integrated tonearms.

• Stylus Guard with V-Cut Window – Flip-up design includes a stylus position guide for accurate cueing and record handling.

🔹 Flexible Compatibility & Stylus Swappability

• Interchangeable Stylus Design – Compatible with most AT-VMx series replacement styli (excluding mono models), allowing easy upgrades and tuning for different listening preferences.
