How Ortofon Concorde MKII Works

The Concorde design trades alignment finesse for swap speed and indestructibility — DJ heritage with home versions that sound honest. Set force mid-range, skip alignment entirely (fixed geometry), and enjoy the most convenient cartridge interface ever made. The scratch versions (SCRATCH, MIX) run hotter forces by design.
