Audio-Technica - AT-XP5 MM DJ Cartridge - Red/Black

Designed with working DJs in mind, this professional phono cartridge delivers powerful output, rugged construction, and precise groove tracking for confident performance and clean sound. A highly rigid PPS and glass fiber body minimizes resonance, while a carbon fiber reinforced ABS cantilever and nylon wire suspension provide durability and control under demanding conditions. The 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical bonded stylus tracks accurately with a recommended 3 gram force within a 2 to 4 gram range, producing a strong 5.5 mV signal, excellent channel separation, and detailed audio reproduction. Enhanced stylus tip visibility supports accurate cueing and reliable mixing. Its balanced design suits club use, studio listening, and frequent back cueing without sacrificing clarity.
