Ortofon Concorde Elite Hi-Fi Listening Cartridge






zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Upgrade your hi-fi setup with this pristine cartridge, featuring a moving magnet design, diamond stylus, and an agile, slim profile.
Overview
The Concorde ELITE is a premium moving magnet cartridge, based on the legacy of the Ortofon Concorde MkII Series. Owing to the number of components' upgrades, the ELITE achieves a high level of sound quality, not previously found in the DJ categorized cartridges.
Nude Elliptical Diamond Stylus
Encased by the gold is a nude elliptical diamond mounted on a rigid Aluminum cantilever. The nude elliptical diamond stylus, normally used in Hi-Fi cartridges, delivers a sound so powerful and detailed that you will experience a remarkable level of live performance. The addition of a nude elliptical diamond allows a smaller moving mass, which guarantees an improved and detailed sound quality.
The slim profile of the nude elliptical diamond makes it able to follow the groove oscillations more accurately, extract more intricate details, and track even the highest frequency information. NB: The nude elliptical stylus is for listening, not for heavy back-cueing and scratching.
Cartridge Body That's Built to Outlast
The Concorde Elite features a special-molded stylus body with real gold plating, which adds luxury to the famous Concorde design.
Superior Rubber Suspension Tracking
To ensure superior tracking performance, a Rubber Suspension has been developed. The rubber compound formula has been developed uniquely for the Concorde ELITE to attain the desired characteristics for an extraordinary performance of the cartridge. The richer, fuller sound conveys the music in the most lifelike… read more manner while paying close attention to damping of excess brightness.
Exclusively Developed Cantilever
The Cantilever and Coil System: The cantilever needs to accommodate the perfect compromise between lightweight and high strength, which requires great ingenuity in the design, as well as the choice of the materials. The properties of the Rigid 750 um Aluminum-Magnesium cantilever, exclusively developed for the Concorde ELITE, ensure that the stylus picks up the groove vibrations with a stable and accurate trace performance and provides the ideal interface between the stylus and armature.
