Audio-Technica AT-VM95E Dual Moving Magnet Cartridge

The Audio-Technica AT-VM95E Dual Moving Magnet Cartridge is part of the VM95 Series and is designed for half-inch mount turntables. Built with a 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical stylus, this cartridge provides accurate groove tracking and dependable playback performance for vinyl listeners who want clear sound, strong output, and easy long-term stylus replacement.

The AT-VM95E features Audio-Technica’s VM dual magnet cartridge design, which helps deliver excellent channel separation, low distortion, and outstanding tonal quality. Its specially wound coils increase the output voltage to 4.0 mV, giving the cartridge a strong signal level for connection to compatible phono inputs and phono preamps.

For stable playback and durability, the cartridge uses an aluminum cantilever and a durable low-resonance polymer housing. This construction helps reduce unwanted resonance while supporting clean, balanced analog sound reproduction. The bonded round shank elliptical stylus is designed to follow the record groove with precision, helping retrieve detail while maintaining reliable tracking performance.

The AT-VM95E is also designed for simple installation and flexible maintenance. Threaded inserts in the cartridge body allow the cartridge to mount to a headshell with just two screws, with no nuts required. Since all VM95 Series cartridges share the same body, the stylus can be replaced with any of the six interchangeable AT-VMN95 replacement styli, giving users an easy upgrade or replacement path within the VM95 stylus lineup.
