Experience balanced and dynamic sound with a premium moving magnet cartridge designed for effortless installation and refined listening. An elliptical diamond stylus on a lightweight aluminum cantilever traces grooves with precision to reveal detail clarity and natural warmth. A carefully tuned rubber suspension enhances tracking and reduces resonance for clean musical flow. The advanced quad coil generator with split pole pins and silver plated oxygen free copper delivers strong output impressive channel balance and wide separation for lifelike imaging. The iconic integrated form allows tool free mounting on S shaped tonearms. Easy stylus replacement enables a clear upgrade path within the series making this cartridge a lasting choice for vinyl lovers seeking performance style and convenience.

Clear and ultra-musical with just the right degree of warmth, Songbird Low offers an even deeper soundstage with greater reach width-wise. As it’s generally more quiet thus allowing more detail to surface, you’ll be shocked by the surprises it yields even in the recordings you’re most familiar with. Stunningly holographic in a manner that approaches that of Starling, Songbird Low maximizes the refinement of your MC system at a price that’s well below reasonable considering the performance it achieves.

This update of the venerable ATN3600L conical bonded stylus, which has sold by the millions and been trusted by countless music lovers for more than 50 years, features a new modern design while retaining the ease-of-use, reliability, and sound quality that have made it the replacement stylus for so many turntables. The 0.6 mil conical stylus ensures proper contact with the record groove even when the cartridge is not quite level. Audio-Technica has been perfecting the art of transducer technology since our first handcrafted phono cartridge in 1962.
