AT-VM95E

VM95 Series Elliptical Stereo Capsule

The AT-VM95E, Audio-Technica's new entry-level elliptical capsule model, replaces the legendary AT95E and takes advantage of the development of the AT95EX, introduced in 2015. The AT-VM95E offers a distinctive and improved design that results in an a more rigid low resonance, and two threaded inserts located in the body of the capsule that allow it to be mounted on the headstock or on an integral tonearm with only two screws, without nuts. nuts..

Aluminum cantilever

4.0mV output voltage

Body compatible with VM95 series needle assemblies

Replacement for AT95E and AT95EX

Frequency response from 20 to 22,000Hz

VM95 Series - Stylus Compatibility

Every diamond stylus in a capsule wears after a period of work.

Around 500 hours for a conical stylus, 300 hours for an elliptical stylus, 1000 hours for a Microlinear stylus, and 800 hours for a Shibata stylus.

Our VM95 series dual moving magnet cartridges can be used virtually forever if the interchangeable stylus is replaced. It is no longer necessary to purchase a full capsule when the diamond tip has been worn down; you just have to purchase the right replacement stylus, but you can also enjoy the experience of upgrading your cartridge with a different stylus.

All six cartridge models that make up the VM95 series use the same electromagnetic motor body, therefore each of the six replacement styli is perfectly compatible.

AT-VM9E series compatibility with AT-XP series DJ cartridges

The XP-series electromagnetic body-motor is fully compatible with all VM95-series replacement styli and delivers a higher output voltage than the VM95-series cartridge. This improves compatibility with the phono inputs of professional DJ mixers.

The VM95 series' electromagnetic motor-body is also compatible with the three replacement styli on the AT-XP series DJ cartridges; in any case, the XP-series electromagnetic body-motor will deliver a higher output voltage than the VM95-series cartridge, in order to offer better compatibility with the phono inputs of professional DJ mixers.

Remember that the typical tracking force when using the XP series styli is three grams, instead of two grams for the VM95 series styli.

The XP-series stylus suspension design and compliance has been optimized for heavy use by DJs, including possible hand-picking and back-and-forth movement.

The suspension design and compliance for the VM95 series has been engineered for optimal audiophile playback.
