Audio-Technica DR350

The Audio-Technica DR350 is an entry-level MM cartridge fitted with an elliptical stylus profile. Its 5 mV output feeds any standard MM phono input on a preamp or receiver without extra gain. The rated tracking force runs from 1 to 1.5 g, with a nominal setting near 1.3 g. The stylus is user replaceable as the ATN3472SE, and Phono Culture lists one compatible replacement stylus.

Additional Info

The Audio-Technica DR350 offers a warm, forgiving presentation with a rounded top end and a natural, engaging midrange where vocals sit forward and pleasant rather than analytical. Bass carries decent weight without overpowering, dynamics stay lively enough for rock and pop, while modest imaging favors ease of listening over pinpoint precision. The user-replaceable elliptical stylus makes it a relaxed, low-maintenance choice for casual sessions.
