Ortofon Concorde Anniversary 40

The cartridge that ensured the survival of Ortofon through the last decade of the 20th century

The Concorde 40 Anniversary uses the 2M Blue improved engine, which provides an increased output of 5.5 mV with a full-range reproduction and a high level of sonic accuracy. The sound is open, balanced, dynamic and detailed.

Features: Nude Elliptical diamond and split pole pins with a copper wire.

The Concorde 40 Anniversary has an intergated cartridge and headshell desing and is for direct and easy mounting and replacement on S-shaped tonearms with universal/SME connector, such as e.g. Ortofon TA-110.
