Product Description

Description of the DJ from the official Ortofon website:

Since the launch of the original Concorde cartridges more than 25 years ago, DJs have embraced the convenience, sound quality, and industrial design of the Concorde.  With the launch of the Concorde MKII, Ortofon has listened to the demands of vinyl DJs of all types to develop a superior cartridge series with an unprecedented level of durability, groove holding, and sound quality.  The new Concorde, which is redesigned from the ground-up, features a more robust stylus tip with larger cut-out, as well as a replaceable textured grip and handle.  The Concorde DJ cartridge is a suitable model for both scratch and backcueing use, providing rigidity, excellent groove handling, and low record wear.  Easy connectivity to the tonearm makes setup quick and easy in any performance scenario.
