As its name suggests, the AT-VM610xMONO is specifically designed for playing mono records. Its dual magnets are internally connected to minimise record noise and produce a highly focused "centre" sound image, something stereo cartridges can't achieve.

Like all VMx cartridges, the AT-VM610xMONO features PCUHD® (Pure Copper Ultra High Drawability), which results in richer, more nuanced audio reproduction. We've also slightly reduced the number of coil turns to improve transient response. This allows the cartridge to react more quickly to signal changes, delivering stunningly clean music with lifelike immediacy. The AT-VM610xMONO's 0.6 mil conical bonded stylus precisely tracks the centre of the record groove for reliable performance and excellent fidelity.

Key Features:

• AT-VMx dual moving magnet cartridge with 0.6 mil conical bonded stylus
• 0.6 mil conical bonded stylus tracks the centre of the record groove for reliable performance and excellent fidelity
• Paratoroidal coils improve generating efficiency for enhanced transient response
• PCUHD® (Pure Copper Ultra High Drawability) coils – and fewer coil turns – deliver highly responsive, three-dimensional sound reproduction with excellent transient response
• Threaded inserts make cartridge easier to mount, especially to integrated tonearms
• V-cut in the flip-up stylus protector shows stylus position, serving as a guide for lowering the stylus onto a record
• Durable low-resonance polymer housing
• Aluminum cantilever
• Mono body terminating left and right channels reduces surface noise
• Compatible with any turntable headshell that accepts 1/2" cartridges

The Stylus Concorde Music Red, featuring an elliptical stylus on an aluminum cantilever, serves as a replacement stylus for all Concorde Music cartridge models.

Designed by music lovers for music lovers, Concorde Music cartridges combine premium performance with iconic design. More than just cartridges, they represent a dedication to the profound impact of music, transforming every listening session into a captivating journey.

The new mono SLM MK II low output MC cartridge features upgrades that enhance musical performance while providing greater value within the S Series price range. It includes a new tapered aluminum cantilever with increased rigidity, significantly improving the transfer of groove modulation from vinyl records to the cartridge generator. The S Series Mk II showcases many higher-spec components, advanced materials, and innovative technical processes sourced from Hana's premium cartridge models.

Key parts such as the yoke, pole pieces, and gold terminal pins undergo cryogenic treatment to achieve a more natural sound. The design benefits from an enhanced non-resonant body shape, inspired by the Hana M Series, which is damped with a matte soft-feel black elastomeric resin paint and includes a brass top cap along with integral threaded mounting for the cartridge. 

The heavier Mk II cartridge improves coupling, enhancing bass and dynamics, while also offering broader compatibility with a variety of tonearms. The SLM MK II generator takes cues from the Umami Blue and M Series designs, utilising an Alnico magnet and a cross-coil setup made with high-purity 30-micron copper wire and a 23Ω impedance. These design enhancements deliver higher resolution and traceability, optimising performance when paired with MM phono stages.
