Its plug-and-play design ensures quick installation, making it a top choice for audiophiles seeking a reliable, affordable upgrade with reduced distortion and enhanced detail. ## Description This 0. 3 x 0. 7 mil elliptical cartridge fits P-Mount turntables. It features precision engineering and many other features found in the more expensive Audio-Technica cartridges. Review: Great for entry-level P-mount-cartridge turntables - Was restoring a turntable that used a P-mount cartridge. Bought the Audio-Technica AT85EP as it was relatively cheap. But as it turns out, it is a find-sounding cartridge and excellent value for the money. As is the rule for P-mounts, set up was extremely easy: push the connectors into the arm, tighten the screw and you're done. Review: Excellent Upgrade for My Technics Turntable - I installed the Audio-Technica AT85EP on my Technics SL-BD24 and the improvement was immediately noticeable. Installation was quick and easy — true plug-and-play with the P-mount design. Sound quality is a clear step up from my original cartridge. Vocals are cleaner, highs are smoother, and there is much better detail overall. I especially noticed reduced distortion toward the inner grooves, which was a pleasant surprise. Tracking is excellent and records sound more balanced and refined. For anyone with a compatible P-mount turntable, this cartridge is a fantastic value and a very worthwhile upgrade. Highly recommended. ## Features - 0. 3 x 0. 7 mil elliptical cartridge designed specifically to fit linear format P-mount turntables - Features Audio-Technica’s unique dual moving magnet construction - Para-toroidal coil construction assures an excellent sonic clarity and wide channel separation - Compatible with linear tracking turntables with T4P plug-in connectors, no matter the brand ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B077QG5QSJ | | Additional Features | Portable | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,409 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #7 in Turntable Cartridge Needles #570 in Music Recording Equipment | | Brand | Audio-Technica | | Built-In Media | product, manual | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | P-mount turntable | | Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 2,390 Reviews | | Cycles | DC Motor | | Enclosure Material | Aluminum, Diamond | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04961310141530 | | Included Components | product, manual | | Item Type Name | Phonograph Cartridge with Elliptical Stylus P Mount | | Item Weight | 0.06 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Audio technica | | Material | Aluminum , Diamond | | Mfr Part Number | AT85EP | | Model Name | Phonograph Cartridge | | Model Number | AT85EP | | Power Source | Manual | | Signal Format | phono | | Special Feature | Portable | | Style | AT85EP Cartridge | | Style Name | AT85EP Cartridge | | UPC | 042005195756 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 year. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Audio-Technica - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** P-mount turntable - **Included Components:** product, manual - **Item Weight:** 0.06 Pounds - **Material:** Aluminum, Diamond - **Model Name:** Phonograph Cartridge - **Motor Type:** DC Motor - **Special Feature:** Portable - **Style:** AT85EP Cartridge ## Images ![Audio-Technica AT85EP Turntable Cartridge with Elliptical Stylus P Mount - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51j8NpZFtdL.jpg) ![Audio-Technica AT85EP Turntable Cartridge with Elliptical Stylus P Mount - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61M0WqOTLsL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for entry-level P-mount-cartridge turntables *by G***E on April 15, 2026* Was restoring a turntable that used a P-mount cartridge.

Highly recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect cartridge for the entry-level or novice turntable owner! *by D***C on May 27, 2019* I've seen this exact cartridge/stylus on many turntables and I know why - easy to install cartridge, easy to replace stylus, and great sound dynamics. Having a good pre-amp is key to taking full advantage of this. It's not the top of the line (I couldn't justify spending $80+ for my first 'big boy' turntable) but it's definitely one of the best for the buck and the best I could find at this particular price point. Don't be tempted by the conical shaped stylus version of this (the one that looks the same but is black) - elliptical is the way to go for the best sound! I installed it on a Technics SL-Q30 with ease, although it will fit any p-mount tonearm. And because of its relatively universal weight, tracking will usually be accurate to the turntable factory setting - although you may want to pick up a tonearm scale to dial in the tracking to the recommended weight (I set mine to 1.5g but some like it at 1.25). If you're looking for quality sound, affordability and ease of use, and you aren't a hardcore audiophile, this is the way to go! ## Frequently Bought Together - Audio-Technica AT85EP Turntable Cartridge with Elliptical Stylus P Mount - Pyle Mini Phono Turntable Preamp - Low Noise Stereo Preamplifier with RCA Input/Output - 12V DC Adapter - High-Fidelity Audio for Vinyl - Phonograph - Home Audio - PP999 - Tan QY 2RCA to 2RCA Cable 3Ft, Gold-Plated 2 RCA Male to 2 RCA Male Stereo Audio Cable for Home Theater, HDTV, Gaming Consoles, Hi-Fi Systems (3Ft/1M) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/63746269-audio-technica-at85ep-turntable-cartridge-with-elliptical-stylus-p-mount](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/63746269-audio-technica-at85ep-turntable-cartridge-with-elliptical-stylus-p-mount) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
