Audio-Technica VM510CB Conical Dual Moving Magnet Turntable Cartridge

The Audio-Technica VM510CB is the gateway to the VM500 series of premium dual moving magnet phono cartridges. Its dual-magnet design mirrors the layout of the left and right channels within the stereo record groove, producing outstanding channel separation and extended frequency response — the qualities that make a stereo image feel wide, stable, and lifelike.

The cartridge's 0.6 mil conical bonded stylus tracks the center of the record groove for reliable performance and excellent fidelity, mounted on an aluminum cantilever for consistent, controlled tracing. Inside, para-toroidal coils improve generating efficiency while a center shield plate between the left and right channels reduces crosstalk, keeping each channel's information clean and distinct. A durable low-resonance polymer housing ties the design together.

Because every VM500 and VM600 series stylus fits the same body, the VM510CB doubles as a long-term platform: start with the conical stylus today and upgrade to an elliptical, MicroLine, or Shibata stylus later without buying a whole new cartridge.
