Designing and manufacturing handcrafted phono cartridges since 1962, Audio-Technica is introducing its new VM95 series of entry-level dual moving magnet cartridges. Building on the company’s rich heritage and expertise, the six-strong VM95 range boasts the same body design to enable easy interchange and  upgrade of any AT-VMN95 stylus-type. Developed in Japan 38 years ago, this new series also features the next generation model of the critically acclaimed AT95E cartridge, cited by many as the most successful entry-level cartridge of all time.

Combining a superior analogue performance at an affordable price, the new VM95 series design also allows easy installation or interchange with threaded inserts in the cartridge body enabling it to be mounted to a headshell or integral tonearm with just two screws (no nuts or bolts).
