It is intended for DJs using digital vinyl systems that rely on a clean, consistent control signal from the record. Its Concorde-format body combines the cartridge and stylus into a direct-mount assembly for compatible tonearms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cartridge is optimized for timecoded vinyl, where signal stability can affect software decoding performance. Its 10 mV output is designed to provide a strong signal to the connected DJ software system. Ortofon also specifies the Concorde MK2 Digital for conventional vinyl playback.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Concorde MK2 Digital uses a spherical diamond stylus on an aluminum cantilever. Its specified frequency range is 20 Hz to 18 kHz at -3 dB, with 22 dB channel separation at 1 kHz. The spherical stylus profile and 3 to 5 g tracking-force range suit DJ-oriented handling and playback applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor setup, the recommended tracking force is 4 g. The cartridge is rated for 100 µm tracking ability at 315 Hz when used at the recommended tracking force. Its 18.5 g cartridge weight should be considered when balancing the tonearm and setting tracking force.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Concorde MK2 Digital mounts through a Bayonet\/SME-style connection on a compatible tonearm, so no separate headshell wiring or cartridge alignment is required for that mounting format. It is supplied as a single cartridge with its stylus pre-mounted. When replacement is needed, it accepts the Ortofon Stylus CC MKII Digital replacement stylus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTimecode Optimization:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed to support timecode-vinyl playback and reduce decoding errors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10 mV Output:\u003c\/strong\u003e Delivers a high output level to the connected system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpherical Diamond Stylus:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uses a spherical diamond tip for DJ playback applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAluminum Cantilever:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports the stylus assembly with a specified aluminum cantilever.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBayonet\/SME Mount:\u003c\/strong\u003e Installs directly on compatible removable-headshell tonearms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReplaceable Stylus:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uses the Stylus CC MKII Digital replacement stylus.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Concorde MK2 Digital uses an integrated Concorde-style cartridge body with an aluminum cantilever and spherical diamond stylus.
