Audio-Technica AT3600L Original Cellule Phono MM Platine Disque vinyle Tonar box

Audio-Technica AT3600L Hi-Fi Phono Cartridge
Original model packaged in a Tonar box. Supplied with mounting screws.

The Audio-Technica AT3600L is a high-quality MM (Moving Magnet) magnetic phono cartridge, globally recognized for its reliability and universal compatibility with most Hi-Fi turntables. Fitted with an ATN3600L spherical-tip conical stylus and a sturdy carbon cantilever, it easily mounts onto any turntable equipped with a standard headshell (through-screw mounting).

It is an excellent modern replacement for common legacy cartridges like the Shure M75, M91, M95, or the Audio-Technica AT91. The replacement stylus is also fully compatible with many market references: ATN 91, ATN 3600, DN 239, DSN85, and DN251.

IMPORTANT: The cartridge is delivered complete in a protective plastic bag, fitted with its ATN3600L stylus and removable protective cap, and includes all necessary mounting screws.

Key Highlights & Applications:

• Ideal for replacing a cartridge for which replacement needles are no longer manufactured, or for restoring recent or vintage turntables.
• Modular design: The upper mounting plate (cap with the two fixing ears) is removable. This leaves a bare cartridge body (8.3 mm thickness) which can be custom-fitted inside enveloping headshells using glue, clips, or double-sided adhesive.
