Compatible Cartridge Models

The Audio-Technica ATN85EP is a replacement stylus designed for specific magnetic cartridges. It fits the AT85EP, AT301EP, AT311EP, AT316EP and AT92ECD models directly. This part restores tracking performance for compatible turntable setups. It is not suited for cartridges outside this listed series.

Verify Cartridge Before Ordering

Confirm the exact model number printed on your existing cartridge body before purchasing. The stylus matches only the five Audio-Technica magnetic cartridges listed in the specifications. Using it on an unlisted cartridge will result in improper fit and potential damage to records.

Elliptical Tip For Vinyl Playback

The 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical diamond tip tracks record grooves with precision. It requires a compatible tonearm and cartridge body from the supported range to function correctly. Installation frees the user from worn stylus distortion without replacing the entire cartridge assembly.

Questions about this item

Does the ATN85EP stylus arrive with any extra parts or tools, or is the cartridge body something I need to supply myself?

The package contains the 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical stylus only. It fits the AT85EP, AT301EP, AT311EP, AT316EP and AT92ECD cartridge bodies, which are not included.

I see the stylus fits several cartridge models such as the AT85EP, AT301EP and AT92ECD — how do I pick the right one for my setup?

Check the model printed on your existing cartridge body. If it reads AT85EP, AT301EP, AT311EP, AT316EP or AT92ECD, this stylus is the correct replacement.

What does the 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical specification mean for everyday record playback?

The elliptical tip traces the groove more precisely than a spherical tip, giving clearer high-frequency detail and lower distortion on compatible Audio-Technica magnetic cartridges.
