Ortofon Concorde MKII Elite – Premium Moving Magnet cartridge for uncompromising sound

Concorde MKII Elite is Ortofon's most refined DJ cartridge to date. A Premium Moving Magnet cartridge that builds on the legacy of the Concorde MKII series – but elevates sound quality to a level typically associated with high-end HiFi.

With the Concorde ELITE, Ortofon unites the worlds of DJ performance and audiophile listening, delivering a musical experience that stands out significantly in the DJ category.

An exceptional sound experience. 
Musically, the Concorde MKII Elite sets new standards for what a Concorde cartridge can deliver. The sound is rich, detailed, and dynamic with a natural reproduction that brings the music closer to the original performance.

Nude Elliptical stylus – precision and detail. 
The core of the Concorde ELITE is a Nude Elliptical diamond, encapsulated in an elegant, genuine gold-plated stylus housing. This type of diamond – typically reserved for HiFi cartridges – has a lower moving mass, resulting in improved resolution, faster response, and significantly more detailed sound.

The slim profile allows the stylus to follow groove oscillations extremely accurately and reproduce even the highest frequencies with clarity and finesse.

Note: The Nude Elliptical stylus is designed for listening and precise playback – not for hard back-cueing and scratching.

High output voltage and optimized coil system

Inside the Concorde ELITE, you will find a specially developed coil system designed to efficiently transfer the movements of the diamond and deliver a powerful, balanced output. The result is a rich, full sound combined with high output voltage, ensuring excellent performance in both DJ and listening setups.

Advanced cantilever and superior tracking ability

The exclusive Rigid 750 µm Aluminum-Magnesium cantilever is specifically developed for the Concorde MKII Elite. The perfect balance of low weight and high strength ensures stable, precise tracking and optimal contact between the stylus and groove.

New rubber suspension – musical control

A newly developed rubber suspension is tailored for the Concorde ELITE. The specially formulated rubber compound provides both improved tracking ability and a richer, more organic sound while dampening unwanted sharpness. The result is a vibrant, musical reproduction with high control and balance.
