Iconic design

Building upon a rich legacy which began when we launched the original Concorde, the Concorde Music holds a storied history as one of the most famous cartridges in the world of audio.

Originally developed as a solution to the challenge of easy mounting on a tonearm without screws or wires, the Concorde's unique design earned the Danish Industrial Design Award and became an icon in the audio industry.

Stylus

The Concorde Music Black LVB 250, featuring a Nude Shibata stylus on an Boron cantilever, offers an upgrade from the Concorde Music Bronze.

The shape of the Shibata distinguish itself by having a narrow and long contact surface. The Shibata is very close to the original cutting stylus which ensures the most accurate reproduction, low distortion and exteded frequency range. The use of an extremely stiff and lightweight Boron cantilever adds remarkable transparency, speed, and responsiveness.

Rubber suspension

A crucially important and vital part of a phono cartridge overall performance is the stylus rubber suspension.

Exclusive Ortofon rubber compounds are used for the stylus suspensions in the Concorde Music Blue, carefully produced at the inhouse rubber production, and developed by the research and engineering team at Ortofon for brilliant performance.
