Ortofon STYLUS MK2 CLUB Replacement DJ Stylus

The Ortofon STYLUS MK2 CLUB is a replacement stylus designed specifically for the Concorde MKII Club DJ cartridge. It restores the intended tracking and playback characteristics when an existing Club stylus is worn or damaged. This replacement is intended for DJs, record collectors, and users transferring vinyl to digital formats.

Its Special Elliptical stylus profile is designed to follow record grooves with greater contact area than a spherical stylus profile. In the Concorde MKII Club system, this supports detailed retrieval from vinyl and a balanced, high-output playback presentation. The specified 8 mV output applies to the Club cartridge system when this stylus is used with its matching cartridge body.

The stylus is specified for a 2 to 4 g tracking-force range, with 3 g recommended. Correct tonearm setup within that range is important for stable groove contact and consistent playback. Its specified tracking ability is 100 µm at 315 Hz.

Ortofon gives the MKII Club stylus a front cut-out that makes the needle tip easier to see when cueing a record. The stylus assembly also provides tactile feedback as it is seated on the cartridge body, helping indicate that it has been fitted securely. These practical details support controlled cueing in DJ and studio environments.

This is a stylus-only service part rather than a complete cartridge or headshell assembly. It is made for the Concorde MKII Club platform, allowing an existing compatible Club cartridge to remain in service. Pair it with a properly adjusted turntable tonearm and phono input for vinyl playback or recording workflows.

Design & Installation

The STYLUS MK2 CLUB is a compact replacement stylus assembly with a specified stylus weight of 1 g. Its Special Elliptical diamond tip and front cut-out are built around accurate groove contact and clear visibility at the record surface. The seating design provides tactile feedback when the stylus is installed on its matching cartridge body.

Use this stylus only with a Concorde MKII Club cartridge body. Seat the replacement fully, then set the turntable tonearm’s tracking force within the specified 2 to 4 g range; Ortofon recommends 3 g. Keep the stylus guard in place while mounting or dismounting the cartridge, and clean the tip gently from the rear toward the stylus tip with a stylus brush.
