Audio-Technica - AT-XP3/H Phonograph Cartridge With Headshell

A ready-to-spin DJ workhorse — the AT-XP3 cartridge pre-matched with Audio-Technica's AT-HS6BK headshell.

The AT-XP3/H pairs Audio-Technica's XP3 dual moving magnet DJ cartridge with the AT-HS6BK headshell for an install-and-go setup on any turntable with a universal (half-inch, 4-pin) tonearm. Built for the rigors of DJ use, the body is molded from highly rigid polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) reinforced with glass fiber, and the design offers maximum visibility of the stylus tip for accurate cueing.

The 0.6 mil bonded conical stylus rides on a carbon-fiber-reinforced ABS cantilever with nylon wire suspension, delivering great tracking and channel separation for high-fidelity sound at DJ-friendly tracking forces of 2.0-4.0 grams. The cartridge is compatible with any XP or VM95 Series replacement stylus, giving you a wide choice of options for every budget and application — from scratch work to home listening.
