It is intended for DJs using timecode vinyl and digital vinyl systems that depend on reliable record-to-software signal decoding. Replacing a worn stylus helps restore the intended tracking behavior of the matching cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis stylus is designed for timecoded-vinyl use, where consistent tracking and a clear control signal are important during playback. Its spherical R 18 μm stylus profile is specified for a 3 to 5 g tracking-force range, with 4 g recommended. The design supports both timecode records and conventional vinyl when installed on the matching Concorde MKII Digital cartridge body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the matching Concorde MKII Digital cartridge, the system is specified for 10 mV output at 1 kHz, 5 cm\/sec and 22 dB channel separation at 1 kHz. This output level is designed to provide a strong signal to DJ software for timecode interpretation. The matched system also has a specified 20 Hz to 18 kHz frequency range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cut-out section at the front of the assembly gives the DJ a clearer view of the stylus tip area for more precise needle drops. The stylus also provides tactile feedback as it is seated on the cartridge body, helping indicate that it is fitted securely. These practical details support quick stylus changes and cueing in a DJ workflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe STYLUS MK2 DIGITAL is an upgrade-path and maintenance item for an existing Concorde MKII Digital setup rather than a complete cartridge. It replaces the stylus assembly while retaining the installed cartridge body and its integrated Concorde mounting format. Set the tonearm tracking force within Ortofon's specified range after replacement for proper operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConcorde MKII Digital Replacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Made specifically for the Concorde MKII Digital cartridge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTimecode Vinyl Focus:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed to support accurate timecode-signal decoding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpherical R 18 μm Stylus:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uses a spherical diamond stylus profile.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4 g Recommended Tracking:\u003c\/strong\u003e Targets the specified recommended tracking-force setting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront Cut-Out:\u003c\/strong\u003e Improves visibility for more accurate needle drops.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTactile Seating Feedback:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps confirm a snug stylus-to-cartridge fit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe STYLUS MK2 DIGITAL is a purpose-built replacement assembly with a spherical R 18 μm stylus and a front cut-out for better cueing visibility.
