DJ cartridge with .6 mil conical stylus

The Audio-Technica AT-XP3 is a moving phono cartridge built for DJ use. Its PPS and glass-fibre body gives high rigidity while keeping the stylus tip clearly visible. Output reaches 5.5 mV and tracking force sits between 2 and 4 grams. The bonded conical stylus rides the centre of the groove for reliable tracking.

Scratch DJs needing strong output

Turntablists who value a clear view of the needle and high voltage for noisy environments will appreciate the design. Listeners seeking the finer detail of an elliptical or line-contact profile should look at other profiles. The cartridge also requires a tonearm that can accommodate the specified tracking-force range.

5.5 mV output with 2–4 g tracking range

The high output drives mixer phono stages cleanly without extra gain, and the 2 to 4 gram window suits most standard DJ tonearms. The .6 mil conical tip handles back-cueing and scratching without skipping. Extended playback sessions that demand lower record wear or higher-frequency resolution will exceed what this profile can deliver.

Questions about this item

Will this cartridge mount on my existing headshell?

The AT-XP3 uses the standard half-inch mount spacing found on most DJ headshells, so it fits the headshell you already own.

Can I keep using my current XP-series stylus on this cartridge body?

Yes, the AT-XP3 body accepts any XP or VM95 Series replacement stylus, so your existing XP stylus will work without change.

How do I confirm the 5.5 mV output is correct after installation?

Play a test tone record and measure the phono preamp input with a multimeter; you should read approximately 5.5 mV at the specified tracking force.
