Product details

Standard model with an elliptical stylus that allows for lower distortion during playback and higher accuracy in sound reproduction. Pre-mounted with a lightweight aluminum headshell AT-HS10, users can enjoy a hassle-free setup. Instead of a single large magnet, the two magnets are arranged in a V shape. The two magnets are precisely aligned with the positions of the left and right channels in the stereo groove walls. The VM design thus ensures excellent channel separation, an extended frequency response, and outstanding tracking.

Es gibt Tonabnehmer, die jeder Audiophile griffbereit haben sollte. Auch wenn du sonst Teureres nutzt, gehört ein Audio-Technica AT-VM95E einfach dazu: als Backup, für Parties, aber auch als Realitätscheck für teurere Systeme, der auch mal überraschend ausgehen kann. Und natürlich kannst du es auch als ausgewogenen, ehrlichen Tonabnehmer für jeden Tag verwenden und dich an seinem exzellenten Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis erfreuen.

Die VM95-Serie definiert für MM-Systeme bis rund 200 Euro den Maßstab. Preisliche Überflieger sind insbesondere das VM95E und das VM95C. Da der Body stets derselbe ist, genügt für ein Upgrade der simple Nadeltausch. Die klangliche Spitze markieren das detailreich-transparente VM95ML und das einen Hauch weniger luftige, dafür minimal vollmundigere VM95SH.
