Mono AEX 2026 Record Bonded Round Stylus for Mono Record Player Audio-Technica AT-VM610xMONO VM-type Cartridge, Award-winning Stylus, LPs,

Newly adopted PCUHD*² coil conductor: PCUHD*², which is also used in our Hi-Fi audio cables, is used for the first time in a VM type cartridge. It delivers powerful low-frequency expression and a wide sound field. Furthermore, by reducing the number of turns of the winding, it has been finished with a light sound quality with excellent response. *² PCUHD: Pure Copper Ultra High Drawability (high purity oxygen-free copper wire) A diverse lineup of styluses to meet your sound quality needs: Equipped with a round stylus that provides stable tracing performance under a variety of conditions. Mono-wired cartridge body: By wiring the left and right channels of the stereo cartridge body, the vertical component of the record groove, which is unnecessary for mono playback, is canceled, resulting in clearer sound image positioning and reduced surface noise during mono playback. The body uses a paratoroidal coil structure: The AT-VMx series features a unique power generation system called a paratoroidal coil structure. The paratoroidal structure is a unitized, seamless core, so the magnetic flux is retained within the specially wound coil. This results in improved power generation efficiency and excellent linearity. Threaded cartridge mounting holes: Compatible with integrated tone arms, which are widely used in the global Hi-Fi audio market. The new threaded holes make it easier to mount cartridges on integrated arms. This model is a cartridge designed specifically for mono LPs. Audio-Technica's top-of-the-line lineup of proprietary VM-type cartridges has been reborn as the "AT-VM700x/600x/500x" series ("AT-VMx" series). This marks the first renewal in nine years since 2016, and the lineup now includes a wide range of models, from high-grade models with line contact styli to standard models with elliptical and round styli. In addition to the best sound quality in the history of VM-type cartridges, ease of use has also been improved. All models now feature PCUHD (high-purity oxygen-free copper) coil conductors, achieving powerful low-frequency expression and a wide sound field. The number of winding turns has also been reduced, enhancing responsive, light sound quality and musical expression. The mono cartridge also uses mono wiring designed based on the stereo cartridge, enabling bright, realistic playback while maintaining stable playback. The AT-VM610xMONO is a dedicated model featuring a bonded round styli, which provides stable tracing performance that is less affected by settings. The change to a threaded cartridge makes it easier to attach to the integrated arm, and the addition of a V-shaped cut to the protector as a guide for stylus positioning improves visibility of the stylus tip when dropping the needle onto the record.
