【Important Notice for International Buyers – Tomoayax Premium Audio Hi-Fi Japan】
■ Voltage Compatibility
This product is designed exclusively for use in Japan (AC 100V, 50/60Hz).
Many regions use 120V or 220–240V.
Using this product without a proper transformer in such voltage environments may result in malfunction, overheating, or serious and irreversible damage.
■ Plug Type
This product uses a Japanese plug (Type A or B).
A plug adapter may be required depending on your region.
■ Transformer Requirement (Very Important)
A transformer is required for safe use.
A plug adapter only changes the plug shape and DOES NOT convert voltage.
Using this product without a transformer may cause serious and irreversible damage.
■ Buyer Responsibility
As this is high-end audio equipment, the buyer is fully responsible for confirming compatibility with their local voltage (100V / 120V / 220–240V) and usage environment before purchase.
■ No Return / No Refund Policy
We do NOT accept returns or refunds for:
・Voltage mismatch (including 120V and 220–240V environments)
・Use without a transformer
・Plug incompatibility
・Damage caused by improper setup or usage
■ Liability
We are not responsible for any damage, malfunction, or performance issues caused by improper use or incorrect voltage conditions.
■ Final Notice
Please ensure full understanding of the above before purchasing.
Use only under the correct voltage environment.
Newly adopted PCUHD*² coil conductor: This is the first VM-type cartridge to utilize PCUHD*², which is also used in our Hi-Fi audio cables. It delivers powerful bass reproduction and a vast soundstage. Furthermore, by reducing the number of turns in the winding, it achieves a light and responsive sound quality. *² PCUHD: Pure Copper Ultra High Drawability (high-purity oxygen-free copper wire)
High-grade model exclusive hard material cantilever: This high-grade model, equipped with a special line-contact stylus, uses boron for its cantilever material. Its superior vibration transmission speed ensures a quick and accurate sound attack. By redesigning the shape and length of the stylus tip, a significant weight reduction has been achieved compared to conventional models.
A diverse lineup of styli to meet your desired sound quality: Equipped with a solid, special line-contact stylus that extracts all the information from the grooves of the record. The precisely polished stylus tip shape allows for detailed spatial expression that picks up a large amount of information. Because the contact area between the stylus tip and the groove is large, the stylus tip is less prone to wear and has a long lifespan.
The body employs a paratoroidal coil structure: The "AT-VMx" series features a unique power generation system called a paratoroidal coil structure. Because the paratoroidal structure is unitized and has no seams in the core, the magnetic flux is held within the specially wound coil. As a result, power generation efficiency is improved and excellent linearity is achieved.
Features threaded cartridge mounting holes: Compatible with integrated tonearms widely used in the global Hi-Fi audio market. The change to threaded holes makes it easier to attach cartridges to integrated tonearms.
A special line-contact stylus model that captures all the information from the sound groove. Audio-Technica's top-of-the-line VM-type cartridge series, a proprietary product of Audio-Technica, has been reborn as the "AT-VM700x/600x/500x" series ("AT-VMx" series). This is the first renewal in nine years since 2016, and this time the lineup is wide-ranging, from high-grade models equipped with line-contact styli to standard models equipped with elliptical/conical styli. In addition to the best sound quality in VM-type cartridge history, ease of use has also been improved. All models newly adopt PCUHD (high-purity oxygen-free copper) for the coil conductor. This achieves powerful bass expression and a wide soundstage. By reducing the number of turns in the winding, the response is improved, resulting in a lighter sound quality and enhanced musical expressiveness. Furthermore, the cantilever material of this product, the high-grade model "AT-VM760xSL", is made of boron. The excellent vibration transmission speed enables quick and accurate sound attack. In addition, the change to a threaded cartridge specification makes it easier to attach to integrated tonearms. In addition, it can be used as a guide for the needle tip position.
By adding a V-shaped cut to the protector, the visibility of the stylus tip when dropping the needle onto a record has been improved.
