The Nude Elliptical diamond stylus, normally used in HiFi cartridges, delivers a sound so powerful and detailed, that you will experience a remarkable level of live performance. The addition of a Nude Elliptical diamond allows a smaller moving mass, which guarantees an improved and detailed sound quality. The slim profile of the Nude Elliptical diamond makes it able to follow the groove oscillations more accurately, extract more intricate details and track even the highest frequency information.
NOTE: Nude Elliptical stylus is for listening, not for heavy back-cueing and scratching.What's In The Box:• (1) Cartridge
• (1) Stylus packed in a plastic tray
The Cantilever and Coil SystemThe cantilever needs to accommodate the perfect compromise between lightweight and high strength, which requires great ingenuity in the design, as well as the choice of the materials.
The properties of the Rigid 750 m Aluminum-Magnesium cantilever, exclusively developed for the Concorde ELITE, ensure that the stylus picks up the groove vibrations with a stable and accurate trace performance and provides the ideal interface between the stylus and armature.
In the armature, you'll find a specially developed Coil System transmitting the diamond's movements to deliver an optimized output. The unique Coil System provides the ELITE with a powerful, full-bodied sound of high quality and high output.
Rubber suspensionTo ensure superior tracking performance, a new Rubber Suspension has been developed. The new rubber compound formula has been developed uniquely for the Concorde ELITE to attain the desired characteristics for an extraordinary performance of the cartridge. The richer, fuller sound conveys the music in the most lifelike manner while paying close attention to damping of excess brightness.
Musically, the Concorde ELITE exceeds the scale of the Concorde Series!

In early 2018, Ortofon launched their next-generation Concorde MkII series:
MIX,
DJ,
CLUB,
SCRATCH,
DIGITAL and
ELITE - a clear product range for six applications and technological improvements for better performance.
• All models benefit from a replaceable reinforced finger lift, which is easily replaced if broken.
• The cartridge bodies have been broadened, to offer greater stability during performances.
• Replacement styli offer a tactile feedback when seating, indicating a snug and secure fit, while a cut-out area in the front allows for far more accurate needle drops.
• The Concorde MkII's unique 2-seqment body design creates a fresh and attractive aesthetic.
