Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, the AT-VM95ML is a standard output MM cartridge and should work perfectly well with the Phono-Box E's gain.
You’ll need a separate amplifier or mixing console as the Phono-Box E provides a line-level signal, not a speaker-level output.
The shielding is decent, but significant electrical interference might still be audible; placement away from noisy electronics is still recommended.
