Know before you buy
This cartridge uses an SME mount, which is the standard connection for most professional DJ turntables. As long as your tonearm supports the SME headshell connection, it will fit securely.
Moving Magnet technology provides a high output signal, which is ideal for DJ mixers and club sound systems. It ensures a consistent, reliable sound that is easy to manage without requiring specialized pre-amplification.
The Concorde Mix MKII is primarily engineered for general mixing and high-quality playback. While it features robust construction, if your primary focus is heavy scratching, you may want to look at Ortofon's specialized 'Scratch' models which offer even higher tracking stability.
Yes, the Concorde Mix MKII system is a complete unit that includes both the cartridge body and the stylus. It is ready to be mounted and used immediately.
Absolutely. The stylus is user-replaceable, allowing you to swap in a new needle without needing to replace the entire cartridge body. This makes it a cost-effective choice for long-term use.
