Its integrated Concorde form mounts directly to compatible tonearms with a standard bayonet\/SME connection. This single-cartridge package includes the cartridge body with its stylus pre-mounted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is built for DJs who need stable groove contact during active cueing, juggling, and scratch routines. The spherical diamond stylus is selected for demanding handling and repeated back-cueing use. A single cartridge is suitable for replacing one deck's cartridge or building a custom two-turntable setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Scratch model produces a 10 mV output at 1 kHz and 5 cm\/sec, providing a strong signal level for a DJ phono system. Its specified frequency range is 20 Hz to 18 kHz at -3 dB, with 22 dB channel separation at 1 kHz. The sound character is designed around solid bass performance and extended high-frequency reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn aluminum cantilever supports the spherical diamond stylus, which has an R 18 µm tip radius. The cartridge is rated for 120 µm tracking ability at 315 Hz when set to its recommended tracking force. Dynamic lateral compliance is specified at 14 µm\/mN for the Scratch model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Concorde MKII design streamlines installation by combining the cartridge and headshell-style connector into one unit. It is intended for direct mounting on a compatible tonearm, with no cartridge alignment required. When the stylus eventually wears, it can be replaced with the dedicated Stylus CC MKII Scratch replacement stylus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScratch-Focused Tuning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed for scratch and back-cueing applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10 mV Output:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides a high-level phono signal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpherical Diamond Stylus:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports demanding DJ record handling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e120 µm Tracking Ability:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps maintain groove contact during performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated Concorde Mount:\u003c\/strong\u003e Connects directly to bayonet\/SME tonearms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReplaceable Stylus:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uses the Stylus CC MKII Scratch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Concorde MKII Scratch combines the cartridge body and bayonet-style tonearm connector in a compact integrated design. It uses an aluminum cantilever and a spherical diamond stylus with an R 18 µm tip radius. Cartridge weight is 18.5 g, and the MKII mounting dimensions are 52 mm long by 13.5 mm high.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstall this cartridge only on a compatible tonearm with a standard bayonet\/SME mount. Ortofon specifies direct mounting without alignment; keep the stylus guard in place while mounting or removing the cartridge. Set tracking force within the 3 to 5 g range, with 4 g recommended, and use the specified 47 kOhm load resistance and 200 to 400 pF load capacitance where applicable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ortofon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45669419155526,"sku":"CC-MK2 SCRATCH SINGLE","price":173.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0048\/4163\/5910\/files\/61xevAgX5WL.jpg?v=1784500487","url":"https:\/\/audiowatt.store\/products\/ortofon-cc-mk2-scratch-single-dj-cartridge","provider":"Audio Watt Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
