Like all VM cartridges, the VM540ML is equipped with dual magnets that are positioned to match the left and right channels in the stereo record groove for outstanding channel separation and extended frequency response. The cartridge's MicroLine stylus allows it to trace the record groove with incredible accuracy, resulting in nuanced audio reproduction that elliptical and conical styli simply can’t match. The stylus' multilevel shape also wears better than other styli, while reducing the wear on your records.\" - Audio-Technica\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTECH SPECS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Response: 20-27,000Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStylus: 2.2 x 0.12 mil MicroLine, nude square shank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCantilever: aluminum tapered pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTracking Force: 1.8-2.2g (2.0g standard)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Level: 4.0 mV (at 1 kHz, 5 cm\/sec)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCartridge Weight: 6.4 g (0.2 oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCOMES WITH\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4x cartridge installation screws (5 mm x 2, 10 mm x 2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2x washers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2x hexagon nuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003enon-magnetic screw driver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003elead wire set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e","brand":"Audio-Technica","offers":[{"title":"Cert9","offer_id":39564931661914,"sku":"bst-cr-301-ttlsf-cert9","price":239.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/products\/audiotechnica-vm540ml_ac1e557c-6717-4028-a34e-5483bb3c2a62.jpg?v=1759284229","url":"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.com\/products\/audio-technica-vm540ml-microline-mm-cartridge-open-box-special","provider":"TurntableLab.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
