VM Dual Magnet construction
Rigid, reliable design for high-quality DJ playback
Carbon fibre-reinforced ABS cantilever and link suspension for precise support

VM95 Series compatibility with AT-XP Series DJ cartridges
The XP Series electromagnetic generator is fully compatible with all VM95 Series replacement styluses, although it will provide a higher output voltage than the VM95 Series cells. In this way, the adaptation is optimised for the phono inputs of professional DJ consoles, which have less gain than Hi-Fi equipment.
The VM95 Series electromagnetic generator is also compatible with the three replacement styluses of the XP Series DJ cartridges, however, the VM95 Series electromagnetic generator will provide a lower output voltage than the XP Series cartridge to ensure better compatibility with the phono inputs of Hi-Fi equipment.
Please note that the recommended pressure force when using XP Series pick-ups is 3g, compared with 2g for VM95 Series pick-ups.
The suspension design and compliance of the XP Series stylus have been adapted for DJ use, with the option of manual front and rear cueing. Note: the VM Dual Magnet architecture makes it unsuitable for intensive scratching.
The VM95 series suspensions and their compliance characteristics have been designed to provide optimum audiophile reproduction.
