True-to-source sound with elliptical technology
Thanks to its elliptical profile, the AT‑VMN30xEN tracks grooves with precision, distributing pressure evenly across the contact area. This results in bright highs, natural midrange, and controlled bass.
The central shielding plate ensures excellent channel separation, while the optimized magnetic design minimizes distortion even in demanding music passages.
Audio‑Technica heritage at your service
Since 1962, Audio‑Technica has been synonymous with phono cartridge precision. The VM series, including the AT‑VMN30xEN stylus, embraces modularity — you can change tonal character simply by replacing the stylus instead of the whole cartridge.

This stylus is designed specifically for the Audio‑Technica VM530EN / AT-VM530xEN cartridge. Replacing is simple: gently remove the old stylus downward, click the new one into place, and set the tracking force correctly.
✅ Ensure proper alignment, anti-skating, and use high-quality phono cables
✅ Use a precision scale to set the exact tracking force
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I replace the AT‑VMN30xEN?
Typically after 800–1000 hours of use. Signs such as distortion, loss of clarity, or skipping indicate wear.
What’s the difference between an elliptical and conical stylus?
An elliptical stylus contacts the groove walls more than a conical one, yielding better reproduction of mid and high frequencies. It offers a balance between performance and durability.
Can I use this stylus on other cartridges?
This stylus is specifically built for VM530EN / AT-VM530xEN. Using it with other cartridge models may reduce performance or risk damage.
How can I fine-tune the sound?
Use proper tracking force (2.0 g), precise alignment, and correct anti-skating. Lower-capacitance phono cables may help if the sound is overly bright.
