zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Designed with input from legendary DJ QBert, the Ortofon Concorde QBert needle delivers high output and a boosted midrange that's perfect for scratching.

Co-developed by one of the most legendary DJs of all time, the Ortofon QBert provides unsurpassed handling, high output voltage, and low wear characteristics that literally put it in a class of its own. Turntablists and mix DJs alike will appreciate the strong output of this cartridge, coupled with unrivaled tracking ability and sonic characteristics. The QBert features a more subdued high end, which helps to minimize surface noise from worn vinyl, and an accentuated mid-range to help bring scratching to the front of the sound stage.

The CC QBert Single includes one cartridge and one pre-installed stylus.

I've been a turntablist for almost two decades. In that time I've use Shure 44-7's or 44-g's exclusively, as they were always the "Best" for what I used my turntables for. I decided after seeing so many turntablists using "concorde-style" carts that I'd give them a chance. Holy smokes! These dudes not only track really well under the harshest of cuts, they sound amazing! Gone are the days of my laying a nickel on top of the head shell to get a bit more track! While I'll never get rid of my 44 series carts these new Ortofon's have definitely earned their right to be in my needle rotation!
