Iconic design

Developed to address the challenge of easy tonearm mounting without screws or wires, its unique design earned the Danish Industrial Design Award and established it as an icon in the audio industry.

The Concorde Music Red boasts an elliptical diamond polished to the highest industry standards, mounted on a premium aluminum cantilever. This design ensures optimal transmission of vinyl record groove modulations captured by the diamond.

Rubber Suspension

The Concorde Music Red features an exclusive Ortofon rubber compound for its stylus suspension. Developed and produced in-house, this suspension is a critical component that significantly enhances the phono cartridge's overall performance.

Coil System

The Concorde Music is equipped with Ortofon's quad-coil generating system and split pole pins. The system uses silver-plated oxygen-free copper for the coils and includes four Ortofon split pole pins, ensuring exceptional channel balance and separation. With a 6 mV output, it delivers precise, dynamic sound with outstanding clarity and fidelity, capturing every detail.

Compatibility

Installing the Concorde Music cartridge on your turntable is simple and tool-free, ensuring hassle-free convenience for all users. Its bayonet/SME connector ensures compatibility with all S-shaped tonearms.

Upgradability

The Concorde Music Blue can be replaced or upgraded with any stylus from the Concorde Music series, allowing you to advance through the entire range up to the Concorde Music Black LVB 250.

Upgrading the stylus is straightforward: just pull off the old stylus and replace it with the new one. Be sure to keep the stylus guard on during installation to protect the needle.
