ATVM95ML

Description
Specification

Audio-Technica AT-VM95ML is a new cartridge with sharpening the diamond tip of a line–contact needle (nude microlinear). Microline sharpening allows not only to double the service life of a replaceable needle, the reproduction of musical material with a needle with a line-contact sharpening minimizes internal distortion in the groove of the plate, and also provides an extended frequency response and improves resolution at medium and high frequencies.

Audio-Technica AT-VM95ML is the fourth most expensive pickup head in the new line, but it can be upgraded to the top head at any time by simply replacing the needle. That is, you can always choose the most advanced sharpening from the VM95 series: Shibata. Any needle wears out as records are played, which is why it is so important to be able to purchase a replacement needle. The approximate service life of the AT-VMN95ML microline needle is about 1000 hours.

The AT-VM95ML features an improved design with a stiffer low-resonance housing
The newly developed radial damping ring improves the transient response and increases the reproducible frequency range to 25,000 Hz.
New aluminum tube cantilever
Output voltage 3.5 mV
Two threaded inserts in the cartridge housing allow you to install it on a shell or tonearm with just two screws, without nuts.

General information on the Audio-technica AT-VM95 series

The new line of VM95 entry-level Dual Moving Magnet cartridges is designed by Audio-Technica based on the experience of creating pickup heads since 1962. Based on the rich heritage and experience of the company, the new line of six pickup heads of different levels, boasts the same body design to ensure easy replacement of the replacement needle and modernization of the head using a more advanced needle. This series also features a new generation of the AT95E cartridge, developed in Japan 38 years ago, many critics consider it the most successful entry-level cartridge of all time, which has sold more than 5,000,000 copies.

New items are not only affordable, but also convenient to use: they are easy to install and replace, since they are attached with only two screws. Moreover, the nuts are mounted in the housing of the heads and during installation it is enough to simply support the head, and not try to put the nut on a small screw, which sometimes is not easy. The model range includes a VM95C cartridge with conical needle sharpening (replacing AT91, AT91R and CN5625AL), VM95E with elliptical sharpening (replacing AT95E), VM95EN with elliptical NUDE sharpening, VM95ML with a Line Contact Microlinear needle, VM95SH with a Line Contact Shibata needle and VM95SP for old 78-rpm records. Needles can be purchased separately, all of them are suitable for any VM95 series head
