Concorde MkII SCRATCH Elements (cartridges)

Ortofon

The Concorde Scratch allows turntablist and scratching DJs to achieve new levels of performance with an unprecedented tracking ability and extra high output.
The SCRATCH is intended especially for scratching and back-cueing. The SCRATCH uses spherical styli, as they preserve more of the groove over backcueing and scratching.

Due to its very high output 10 mV, it is perfect for scratch of all music with deep bass frequences. With solid bass reproduction and extended highs, the SCRATCH is great for any style, providing energetic sound.

Also available as double package: Concorde TWIN (two Concorde MkII MIX cartridges with preinstalled styli), supplied in Flight case.

You can choose for a single or twin set in the menu above. The twin set contains two complete elements.

If you are in doubt which cartridge is best for you, don't hesitate to contact us. We are happy to give you personal advise depending on your setup and wishes.
