Ortofon’s official Concorde MKII range includes Mix, DJ, Club, Scratch, Digital and Elite models, with single and twin-pack options across several versions

Ortofon DJ cartridges are available in several styles depending on how you play records. The Concorde design is especially popular with DJs because it connects directly to an S-shaped tonearm without needing a separate headshell. This makes setup simple and gives the turntable a classic DJ look.

The Ortofon OM range is a more traditional cartridge format designed to be fitted to a headshell. Models such as the OM Pro S are popular entry-level options for DJs who want a reliable and affordable cartridge for mixing, practice and general vinyl playback. Ortofon describes the OM Pro S as an entry-level DJ cartridge with a spherical diamond stylus and solid cantilever, suited to newcomers and versatile DJ use.

For scratch DJs and heavy cueing, models such as Concorde Scratch or VNL are usually better suited. For club playback and higher output, the Concorde Club is a popular choice. For all-round mixing, practice and everyday DJ use, the Concorde Mix and Concorde DJ ranges are strong options.
