Ortofon Stylus CC MKII Mix

Restore your cartridge in seconds

The Ortofon Stylus CC MKII Mix is the genuine replacement stylus for the Concorde MKII Mix cartridge. When your stylus wears out, there’s no need to buy a whole new cartridge—simply pull off the old stylus and click on the new one. No tools, no realignment, no downtime.

Designed for a perfect fit

The replacement stylus provides tactile feedback when it is inserted, so you can feel the snug, secure fit the moment it clicks into place. A cutout at the front gives you a clear view of the needle, allowing for much more accurate needle drops during cueing and live performances.

The All-Rounder, Redesigned

This stylus restores the Mix cartridge’s transparent, balanced sound and reliable groove tracking—the all-around formula that made it one of the longest-standing values in DJ cartridges.

Genuine Ortofon quality

Only a genuine Ortofon stylus restores your cartridge to its exact original specifications. Ortofon recommends replacing the stylus after approximately 800–1,000 hours of playback to keep both your sound and your records in top condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know when to replace my stylus? Typical signs include a duller sound, increased distortion, sibilance, or skipping. As a general rule, replace the stylus after approximately 800–1,000 hours of playback.

Is it hard to install? No—just pull the old stylus off the cartridge body and click the new one into place. The tactile feedback when it clicks into place confirms a secure fit. No tools or alignment are needed.

Does it fit other Concorde cartridges? Each Concorde MKII stylus is designed to fit its corresponding cartridge body. To ensure original performance, use the Mix stylus with the Mix cartridge.

Will a worn stylus damage my records? Yes—a worn diamond gradually wears down the groove walls. Replacing the stylus on time protects both your sound quality and your vinyl collection.
