Ortofon Concorde Elite MKII

Features

The Concorde Elite was crafted with passion, cutting-edge technology, and meticulous attention to detail, delivering an unlimited experience with the music you love.

The Concorde Elite features a new, specially grooved body with genuine gold plating, adding extra luxury to the iconic Concorde design. The Nude Elliptical diamond, mounted on a rigid aluminum cantilever, is encased in the gold layer. The Nude Elliptical diamond stylus, typically used in hi-fi cartridges, delivers such a powerful and detailed sound that you’ll experience a remarkable live performance. Using the Nude Elliptical diamond allows for lower moving mass, guaranteeing improved and detailed sound quality. Its slim profile enables it to follow groove vibrations more precisely, extract finer details, and capture even the highest frequency information.

Note: The Nude Elliptical Stylus is intended for listening, not for scratching or back-cueing.

The Cantilever and Coil System

The cantilever must strike the perfect balance between low weight and high strength, requiring great ingenuity in design and material choice.

The exclusive rigid 750 µm aluminum-magnesium cantilever developed for the Concorde Elite ensures the stylus picks up groove vibrations with stable and precise tracking performance, forming the ideal interface between the stylus and the magnet.

The armature houses a specially designed coil system that transmits the diamond’s movements to achieve optimal performance. This unique coil system gives the Elite a powerful, full-bodied sound of high quality and performance.

Rubber Suspension

To ensure outstanding tracking accuracy, a new rubber suspension was developed. The new rubber compound was specially formulated for the Concorde Elite to achieve the desired characteristics for exceptional cartridge performance. The richer, fuller sound conveys music in the most natural way while controlling excessive brightness.
