The Ortofon Concorde Elite represents a groundbreaking leap forward in DJ cartridge technology, merging the renowned legacy of the Concorde MkII Series with cutting-edge engineering innovations. This premium moving magnet cartridge showcases Ortofon’s decades of expertise in music reproduction, featuring component upgrades that achieve unprecedented sound quality within the DJ cartridge category. Built with meticulous attention to detail and genuine passion for audio excellence, the Elite brings limitless musical possibilities to your fingertips.
At the heart of the Concorde Elite lies a specially-moulded stylus body adorned with genuine gold plating, housing a Nude Elliptical diamond mounted on a rigid Aluminium-Magnesium cantilever. This nude diamond stylus, typically reserved for high-end HiFi applications, produces remarkably powerful and detailed sound that captures the essence of live performance. The exclusive 750 µm Aluminium-Magnesium cantilever ensures stable and accurate tracking through groove vibrations, creating the perfect interface between stylus and armature.
The cartridge’s unique coil system transmits the diamond’s precise movements to generate optimised output, while the engineered design provides full-bodied, high-quality sound with impressive output levels. Complementing these advanced components is a newly developed rubber suspension system, featuring a specially formulated compound created exclusively for the Concorde Elite to achieve the desired performance characteristics and superior tracking capabilities.
