By adopting mono wiring designed on the basis of a stereo cartridge, it is possible to achieve bright and realistic playback while maintaining stable playback capabilities. The AT-VM610x Mono is a dedicated model that uses a bonded round diamond with a curvature radius of 0.6 mil, compatible with monophonic recordings.

Audio Technica AT-VM 610x Mono: Motor and Magnets

The motor is made up of dual magnets using "VM" technology. Instead of using a single large magnet, the two magnets are arranged in a "V" shape.

The VM design of this Audio Technica VM 610x Mono ensures better frequency response.

PCUHD (High Purity Oxygen-Free Copper) is now used for the coil conductors of all models. The number of winding turns has also been reduced, resulting in a more responsive, lighter sound quality and more nuanced musical expression. The entire AT-VMx series features a large central shielding plate between the two coils. This eliminates electrical crosstalk between the two generators.

A V-shaped cutout has been added to the guard as a guide for the diamond position, improving visibility of the stylus tip when placing the needle on the record.

The connectors on this AudioTechnica are gold-plated.
