Elevated Precision in Every Aspect

Designed for music lovers, by music lovers, the Concorde Music Bronze Phono Cartridge blends premium performance with an iconic design for a high-quality cartridge. The Concorde Music Bronze features a Nude Fine Line Stylus on an Aluminum cantilever, an upgrade from the Concorde Music Blue's Elliptical stylus. Unlike the Elliptical diamond shape, the shape of the Nude Fine Line Diamond provides more faithful tracking of the groove. Its prolonged shape ensures sufficient contact with a wide area of the groove so you can experience a whole new dimension of precision. Exclusive Ortofon rubber compounds are used for the stylus' rubber suspensions. This suspension plays a vital role in contributing to the overall playback performance and functionality of the phono cartridge.

Expansive, Emotive Sound

The Concorde Music Bronze showcases Ortofon's innovative quad-coil generating system with silver-plated copper wire and four split pole pins. First introduced in the 500 series and Super OM series, Ortofon's proprietary Split Pole Pins Technology reduces energy loss and preserves the music signal. These pins enable moving magnet cartridges to achieve a flat frequency response like moving coil cartridges. The silver-plated copper wire combined with the split pole pins delivers exceptional channel balance and separation for a precise and dynamic sound quality, no matter the style of music. With a 6mV output, it offers a lifelike sound with a high level of sonic accuracy so you can enjoy the emotion behind your favorite recordings. This cartridge is compatible with a wide array of DJ mixers and phono preamps, ensuring seamless integration into your existing home audio or home theater setup.
