Redesigned from the ground up, the Concorde Club cartridge features a more robust stylus tip with larger cutout, as well as a replaceable textured grip and handle. The Concorde Club cartridge ensures the best possible sound quality for pure vinyl playback and offers increased output voltage for a powerful, energetic sound. The Club's elliptical stylus tip provides superior audio, and really holds the groove for outstanding tracking and stability. It also produces an impressive 8m V output and 20Hz–20k Hz frequency response for uncompromising sound quality with excellent low end. Easy connectivity to the tonearm makes setup quick and easy in any performance scenario.The Concorde Club's larger cutout lets you see precisely where you're putting the needle down, even in low-light conditions where DJs often find themselves working. When you're deep in the mix, cueing up your next track or sample, every second counts. You can't afford to waste time guessing where the needle is going to touch the record. Likewise, you want to see with a quick glance how far way that drop—or the end of the track—is from your needle. 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.
