Ortofon Concorde MKII Elite

The Concorde MKII Elite pairs striking design with premium materials, carefully selected for both performance and durability. The cartridge body features genuine gold plating, while the nude elliptical diamond stylus is mounted on a specially developed 750µm aluminium-magnesium cantilever, a combination designed to provide precise groove tracking while remaining robust enough for club use. Inside, a newly designed coil system delivers a higher output than previous Concorde models, providing a powerful and clean signal at the mixer or phono preamplifier. To maintain stability and consistent playback under demanding conditions, Ortofon has also developed a new high-performance rubber suspension system with carefully engineered damping characteristics.

The Danish company Ortofon has been synonymous with high-quality phono technology for more than a century. Founded in 1918 by engineers Axel Petersen and Arnold Poulsen, Ortofon developed its first magnetic pickup system, the M-15, in 1969. The company’s futuristic-looking Concorde pickup series was launched in 1982, and its stylish, streamlined design established itself on the DJ scene as the new standard for use in clubs and discotheques. Ortofon also produces high-quality moving magnet and moving coil systems for every application and price point, from quality-conscious beginners through to uncompromising high-end hi-fi aficionados.
