A Design Focused on High-Precision Playback in the Phono Range
This phono cartridge is part of a clearly oriented approach toward playback fidelity : nude diamond with a "Line Contact" profile, aluminum cantilever, and meticulous winding. The choice of oxygen-free silver-plated copper and an Ortofon-developed suspension aims to achieve clean reproduction, well-controlled dynamics, and limited distortion, while maintaining a sufficiently generous output for easy integration into most turntable + preamp setups.
For Demanding Vinyl Enthusiasts and Quality-Oriented DJ Setups
With a recommended tracking force of 1.8 g and a dynamic lateral compliance of 15 µm/mN, this cartridge is particularly suited to medium-mass tonearms and users seeking stable tracking and nuanced playback. It targets hi-fi enthusiasts, vinyl collectors, and DJs who prioritize precise listening (preparation, studio listening, recording, archiving) rather than aggressive "battle" use. Its channel separation and balance at 1 kHz help maintain a clear stereo image, useful for clean mixing and extended listening sessions.
Features and Innovations
The Nude / Line Contact Stylus maximizes the contact surface with the groove: this improves transient finesse, micro-details, and high-frequency definition, while reducing certain playback noises when alignment is properly done. The aluminum cantilever offers a good stiffness/mass compromise for a quick response. The presence of 4 coils on split-pole supports (2+ and 2-) contributes to precise stereo reproduction, with a channel separation of 26 dB at 1 kHz and a channel balance of 1 dB at 1 kHz.
Regarding integration, the cartridge is designed for a recommended load resistance of 47 kOhm and a recommended load capacitance of 150 to 300 pF, typical values for a well-adjusted consumer phono input. Its stated frequency response of +2 / -0 dB emphasizes tonal consistency and coherence. Finally, the tracking ability (315 Hz) of 80 µm (with the recommended tracking force) indicates good tracking aptitude, provided alignment (overhang, azimuth) and anti-skating are carefully set.

Questions frequently asked
Ortofon Concorde Music Bronze: what tracking force should be set?
The recommended tracking force is 1.8 g. This value corresponds to a compliance of 80 µm at 315 Hz. Careful adjustment of the anti-skating and alignment ensures these tracking conditions are maintained.
Is this cartridge compatible with an MM phono input?
Its output voltage of 6 mV and recommended loading of 47 kOhm match the settings of a phono input using this resistance. The recommended load capacitance ranges between 150 and 300 pF.
What stylus diamond does the Concorde Music Bronze use?
The naked diamond features a Line Contact profile, with an r/R radius of 8/40 µm to increase the contact surface within the groove.
For which turntable tonearm is this cartridge suited?
With a lateral dynamic compliance of 15 µm/mN, this cartridge is particularly suited for medium-mass tonearms. Its aluminum cantilever contributes to the system's fast response. The recommended tracking force remains at 1.8 g.
Is the stereo separation precise on this Ortofon cartridge?
The four coils on divided poles provide a channel separation of 26 dB at 1 kHz. The channel balance is specified at 1 dB at 1 kHz.
