Introducing Concorde Music
Developed by music lovers, for music lovers, the Concorde Music cartridges blend premium performance with an iconic design.
Concorde Music, not just a cartridge, but a dedication to the profound impact music has on our lives, turning every listening session
into a captivating journey.

Possibly the world’s most iconic cartridge 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.

Features:
• Diamond: Each Concorde Music stylus features a diamond polished to the highest standards of the industry. Ranging from
a bonded Elliptical diamond on Concorde Music Red, to a Nude Shibata diamond on Concorde Music Black LVB 250.
• Cantilever: All Concorde Music models have a premium or high-end cantilever. The cantilever material is either aluminium
or boron for the best possible transmission of the vinyl record groove modulations picked up by the diamonds.
• Suspension: Exclusive Ortofon rubber compounds are used for the stylus suspensions, all carefully produced at the in_x0002_house own rubber production, and developed by the research and engineering team at Ortofon for brilliant performance.
• Coil system: Silver-pated oxygen free copper is chosen for the quad-coil system together with four Ortofon split pole pins
delivering a 6 mV output of dynamic, lifelike sound with an exceptional clarity and fidelity, capturing every detail.
• Upgradeability: All Concorde Music styli are compatible with all Concorde Music cartridges. An upgrade path is possible
through the entire series of Concorde Music cartridges, enabling upgrades from Concorde Music Red to Black LVB 250.
• Tool-free installation: Installing a Concorde Music cartridge on a turntable is easy and straightforward, no tools required
making it hassle free and convenient for all users.

It is all about the music
Concorde Music stands as an icon of design and musical dedication, inviting everyone to elevate their journey with the level of
accuracy in sound which has become characteristic for every Ortofon cartridge. Tailored for music lovers, incorporating a
straightforward installation, premium sound, and a timeless design. Concorde Music stands for a commitment to musicality.

Unique in-house rubber production a crucially important and vital part of a phono cartridge overall performance is the stylus
rubber suspension. Ortofon develops exclusive rubber compounds and produce the rubber suspensions and dampers in-house.

Ortofon quad-coil generating system with split pole pins in Concorde Music results in an exceptional channel balance and channel
separation, delivering a precise and dynamic sound image.

VM95 SERIES CONICAL REPLACEMENT STYLUS

Conical stylus
Bonded Round Shank

VM95 SERIES - STYLI COMPATIBILITY
Every cartridge diamond stylus becomes worn after a period of play.

Around 500 hours for a conical stylus, 300 hours for an Elliptical stylus, 1000 hours for a Microlinear stylus, and 800 hours for a Shibata stylus.

Our VM95 Series dual moving magnet cartridges can be used almost forever by replacing the interchangeable stylus. It is no longer necessary to purchase a complete cartridge when your diamond is worn out, you can simply buy the matching replacement stylus, but also enjoy the experience of upgrading your cartridge with a different stylus.

The six models of VM95 Series cartridges all use the same electromagnetic engine-body, therefore each of the six replacement styli are perfectly compatible.

CONICAL BONDED STYLUS
The benefit of conical styli, even if the cartridge is "lean", is the ball surface of the stylus touches the groove of vinyl records precisely.

The 2M Series of cartridges is designed for precise and accurate retrieval of the information in the record groove. Our philosophy is to play the record sound as accurate as possible, without coloring the sound

The name 2M was selected from several ideas. We wanted a modern name that would be easy to pronounce and remember, and therefore an alphanumerical name was chosen. 2M means MM, which is the abbreviation for moving magnet.
The 2M series of cartridges features Ortofon’s trademark split pole pins, an invention that enables moving magnet cartridges to have a flat frequency response, as with a moving coil cartridge. Split pole pins were invented by Ortofon, and were originally presented in the 500 series and Super OM series.
We have optimized the design for ease of mounting the cartridge, and the weight and size to fit the most common turntables on the market today. The 2M Series provides excellent compatibility when used in an assortment of playback systems and with a wide variety of phono preamps.

2M Bronze features:

The 2M Bronze features a Nude Fine Line diamond, which is particularly suited for demanding applications. The slim profile of the Fine Line stylus will track even the highest frequency information, making it a must for discerning listeners. Additionally, its larger footprint ensures reduced distortion and record wear.

Technical specifications:

Frequency response - 20-20.000 Hz + 2 / -0 dB
