Concorde Music Bronze is a HiFi cartridge with a Nude Fine Line diamond that enables you to enjoy precise, detailed and at the same time dynamic playback of your vinyl records. Developed for demanding music lovers, this system combines sophisticated technology with the characteristic Concorde design and ensures direct, uncomplicated mounting on your turntable. High-resolution Nude Fine Line diamond At the center is the Nude Fine Line stylus on an aluminum cantilever. Its slim, elongated shape allows for particularly precise tracking of the record groove. Compared to elliptical profiles, the diamond sits in the groove with a larger contact area and follows even fine modulations accurately. The result is clean high-frequency resolution, stable mids and controlled bass reproduction without smearing details. The aluminum cantilever supports this precision through a balanced ratio of stability and low weight. This keeps tracking calm and controlled even during complex passages. With a recommended tracking force of 1.8 g, the system works efficiently while protecting your records. Powerful quad-coil system For signal conversion, Ortofon relies on a quad-coil system with split pole pins. Silver-plated, oxygen-free copper wire ensures low-loss signal transmission. The design supports clear channel separation of 26 dB at 1 kHz and balanced channel balance. With an output voltage of 6 mV, the cartridge delivers a strong, clean signal to your phono preamp. This creates a detailed sound image with precise spatial representation and clearly defined instrument positions. Even at higher levels, playback remains structured and transparent. Sophisticated design and easy mounting The Concorde design enables tool-free mounting via the SME bayonet connection. You plug the system directly onto an S-shaped tonearm and secure it with a simple twist – without screws or separate connection cables. The supplied rubber ring prevents overtightening and ensures a secure fit. The integrated rubber suspension of the stylus is made from specially developed Ortofon compounds. This in-house production ensures consistent quality and supports precise tracking ability of up to 80 µm at 315 Hz. Flexible upgrade concept Within the Concorde Music series, you can further upgrade the cartridge by simply replacing the stylus. Compatible stylus options allow you to upgrade up to the Concorde Music Black LVB 250. Replacement is easy by pulling off and plugging in the stylus unit – ideal if you want to expand your setup step by step.
