The Audio-Technica ATXP5 is a half-inch-mount DJ phono cartridge with a 0.3 × 0.7 mil elliptical stylus and 5.5 mV output, suited to DJs and turntable listeners seeking high-level output and detailed vinyl playback.
Recommended For
- Budget-conscious vinyl DJs using a half-inch-mount turntable who want a DJ-oriented cartridge with reliable groove tracking and sound that also works for attentive listening.
- Vinyl mixers who cue tracks and want an elliptical stylus with tracking that community users report works well for cueing at the recommended 3 g setting.
- DJs who also play records at home and prefer a warm, balanced presentation; reviewers found the XP5 suitable for listening as well as DJ use.
- Turntable owners who want to replace the stylus when it wears rather than replace the whole cartridge; the XP5 has a designated replacement stylus, the ATN-XP5.
