Compatible Replacement Stylus

The Audio-Technica ATN81CP is a 0.6 mil conical replacement stylus designed for specific magnetic cartridges. It fits the AT81CP, AT300P, AT3482, AT3482H/U, AT3482P, and AT90CD models directly. This stylus restores tracking ability for vinyl playback on these cartridges. It is not for cartridges outside this listed compatibility group.

Turntable Cartridge Maintenance

Installation requires a compatible Audio-Technica cartridge body from the supported series. The conical tip tracks standard groove geometry without specialised alignment tools. Replacing the stylus refreshes high-frequency response and reduces record wear. It frees the user from sourcing a complete new cartridge assembly.

Sustained Tracking Performance

The 0.6 mil conical profile maintains consistent contact during extended play sessions. Its geometry distributes tracking force evenly across the groove walls. The approximate weight of 0.64 oz contributes to stable inertia during modulation. This design supports reliable playback over long listening periods without excessive tip wear.

Questions about this item

How quickly does the 0.6 mil conical tip wear with daily cueing?

The 0.6 mil conical diamond tracks cleanly through long sets; tip life depends on vinyl condition and tracking force rather than a fixed hour count.

Does the stylus run hot or add noise to the signal chain during a full-night session?

As a passive cartridge part it generates no heat and adds no electrical noise; only the turntable motor and preamp affect temperature and noise floor.

Which cartridge body must I already have for this ATN81CP to fit?

It fits directly onto AT81CP, AT300P, AT3482, AT3482H/U, AT3482P or AT90CD magnetic cartridge bodies.
