Audio Technica AT81CP Cartridge

The Audio Technica AT81CP Cartridge is a P-mount Dual Moving Magnet cartridge with conical bonded stylus. Because this cartridge plugs directly into a rectangular socket at the end of the tonearm, it is known as a “T4P” Pmount cartridge. Other mounting characteristics are that it has no exposed wires in the back and is almost always found on a linear tracking turntable.

Mounting Notes: If your turntable is linear tracking it means the whole tonearm slides several inches from side to side as opposed to the standard type usually designated ‘straight’ or ‘S shaped’ which pivots on a stationary ‘hub’ assembly at the right rear corner of the turntable; this is called a “gimble” mount. A linear tracking turntable will generally have buttons you must operate to move the tonearm and will almost always be found with a Pmount cartridge. This rule like many are made to be broken. So there are several dozen turntables in existence that have a standard “gimble” mount tonearm but require a Pmount/T4P cartridge. So, the AT85 series of cartridges are generally found on linear tracking turntables, Sometimes found on gimble mount tonearm, and can be forced to fit almost any standard mount gimble mount tonearm with the included bracket adaptor.
