It is designed for DJs who need dependable cueing, mixing, back-cueing, and scratching performance without mounting a separate cartridge to a headshell. Its integrated Concorde-format body provides a direct, practical connection to compatible DJ turntables.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis model is intended as an all-purpose option for a wide range of music styles and DJ techniques. A spherical diamond stylus and aluminum cantilever are selected for stable groove contact and rugged day-to-day use. The cartridge is specified for 100 µm tracking ability at 315 Hz when set to its recommended tracking force.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Concorde MKII DJ delivers a 6 mV output at 1 kHz and 5 cm\/sec, making it appropriate for phono inputs used in typical DJ mixers and turntable systems. Its 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency range and 22 dB channel separation at 1 kHz support clear stereo playback. The recommended 4 g tracking force is tailored to its stated DJ-use performance characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrtofon uses an aluminum cantilever with a spherical diamond tip rated at an R 18 µm radius. This configuration emphasizes reliable groove handling for common DJ tasks, including back-cueing and scratch-oriented operation. The cartridge is also designed to maintain low record wear when correctly installed and adjusted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a straightforward upgrade, the integrated bayonet\/SME mount eliminates the need for cartridge screws, headshell leads, or alignment hardware on compatible tonearms. The Stylus CC MKII DJ is available as the designated replacement stylus. A single cartridge is included, so a second matching cartridge is needed for two-turntable stereo DJ setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated Concorde Mount:\u003c\/strong\u003e Connects directly to compatible bayonet\/SME DJ tonearms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpherical Diamond Stylus:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports durable tracking for DJ record handling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6 mV Output:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides a strong moving-magnet phono signal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4 g Recommended Tracking Force:\u003c\/strong\u003e Optimized for the cartridge's specified groove handling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAluminum Cantilever:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides a rigid platform for the stylus assembly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReplaceable Stylus:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uses the dedicated Stylus CC MKII DJ replacement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Concorde MKII DJ combines the cartridge body, tonearm connector, and stylus assembly into one purpose-built DJ format.

Connect the turntable to a phono input with a 47 kOhm load resistance and 200 to 600 pF load capacitance. For a two-deck DJ system, use a second matching cartridge to maintain consistent output and tracking characteristics between turntables.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ortofon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45669415780422,"sku":"CC-MK2 DJ SINGLE","price":147.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0048\/4163\/5910\/files\/71TXa8K8u0L.jpg?v=1784500317","url":"https:\/\/audiowatt.store\/products\/ortofon-cc-mk2-dj-single-concorde-mkii-dj-cartridge","provider":"Audio Watt Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
