Since SP records have monoaural modulation, when combining an SP stylus with a stereo body, such as the AT-VM95SP, it is recommended to use the "MONO ON" function of your standard Stereo Phono Preamplifier to minimise record surface noise.
The VM95SP, as stereo cartridge for SP mono records, when used with a dedicated archiving phono preamplifier-equaliser incorporating various functions to generate a mono signal from Stereo inputs (Mono L+R, Mono L, Mono R, LR Variable Mix) allows professional archivers to minimise noise and distortion by sampling the least damage side of the grooves from an old record.

• 3mil SP stylus for reduced record surface noise
• Aluminium cantilever
• 2.7mV output voltage
• Compatible body with all VM95 Series stylus assemblies
  

The six models of VM95 Series cartridges all use the same electro-magnetic engine-body, therefore each of the six replacement styli are perfectly compatible.
