The Ortofon Concorde Music Black phono cartridge is the fourth model in the Concorde Music series, designed for exceptional audio performance with premium materials. It features a Nude Shibata diamond stylus mounted on an aluminum cantilever, which provides a narrow and long contact surface for excellent groove handling and low distortion. The cartridge uses Ortofon's proprietary quad-coil generating system with silver-plated copper wire and four split pole pins, reducing energy loss and preserving the music signal for precise channel balance and separation. With a 6mV output, it delivers lifelike sound with high sonic accuracy, revealing micro and macro details in recordings. The stylus suspension uses exclusive Ortofon rubber compounds, contributing to overall performance and functionality. The cartridge is designed for easy installation on SME-type tonearms and offers a recommended tracking force of 1.8 grams.
