DJ cartridge for high-output tracking
The Audio-Technica ATXP7 is a moving-magnet cartridge built for DJ use. Its highly rigid polyphenylene sulfide and glass-fibre body resists vibration in loud environments. A bonded elliptical stylus tip measuring 0.3 x 0.7 mil tracks grooves accurately. The design provides maximum visibility of the stylus tip for cueing.
Tracking force and load constraints
Vertical tracking force ranges from 2.0 to 4.0 grams with 3.0 grams standard. This window suits heavy back-cueing and scratching but exceeds the range of many lightweight tonearms. The recommended load impedance is 47,000 ohms, matching standard phono preamp inputs. Channel separation reaches 22 dB at 1 kHz.
6.0 mV output level
The cartridge delivers 6.0 mV at 1 kHz and 5 cm per second, a high output that drives most phono stages without extra gain. Frequency response spans 20 to 20,000 Hz. Buyers needing lower tracking force for archival playback or lighter arms should consider other models.

Questions about this item
Should I run this cartridge at 2.0 g, 3.0 g or 4.0 g tracking force?
The manufacturer specifies a range of 2.0 to 4.0 g with 3.0 g as the standard setting; start at 3.0 g and adjust within the range for your tonearm and playing style.
What does the 6.0 mV output mean for my mixer or phono preamp?
At 6.0 mV the cartridge delivers a high output level that drives most DJ mixers and phono stages directly without needing an extra booster.
How does the 47,000 ohm load impedance affect setup?
The cartridge is designed for a 47,000 ohm load, which matches the standard phono input on virtually all DJ mixers and audio interfaces.
