Key Features
The Ortofon Concorde Music Blue Moving Magnet Cartridge, featuring a Nude Elliptical diamond stylus, delivers greater definition than its predecessor, the Concorde Music Red. Mounted on an aluminium cantilever with Ortofon's specially developed rubber compound suspension, the stylus achieves superior precision and responsiveness in groove tracking. This translates to a notably richer and clearer music experience. Ortofon's aim with the Concorde Music range was to streamline and standardise cartridge design for quick and tool-free installation, featuring a bayonet/SME type connector compatible with any S-shaped tonearm.
This standardisation means you can upgrade to or from any Concorde Music stylus without needing to replace the entire cartridge. It incorporates a high-performance quad-coil generator system and split pole pins with silver-plated oxygen-free copper wire, ensuring superior channel balance and separation with 6mV output voltage for lifelike sound quality. Whether you're upgrading from the Concorde Music Red or planning on future vinyl enhancements, the Blue strikes a balance between price and performance, all while reflecting Ortofon's passion for music.
